We are working on a souvenir booklet ******************************* Let us believers praise and worship the Word, co-eternal with the Father and the Spirit, born of the Virgin for our salvation; for he took pleasure in ascending the Cross in the flesh, to suffer death, and to raise the dead by his glorious Resurrection. لنسبح نحن الىؤمنين ونسجد للكلمة، المساوي لﻵب والروح في اﻷزلية وعدم اﻻبتداء، المولود من العذراء لخﻻصنا. ﻷنه سر بالجسد أن يعلو على الصليب ويحتمل الموت، وينهض الموتى بقيامته المجيدة. Thy work of justice did reveal Thee to Thy community as a Canon of faith. The likeness of humility and the teacher of abstinence. O, Thou Father and great Bishop Nicholas. Wherefore by humility thou didst achieve exaltation, and by Thy meekness wealth, intercede therefore, intercede with Christ that He will save our souls. لقد أظهرتك أفعا ل الحق لرعيتك، قانونا لﻹيمان، وصورة للوداعة ومعلما لﻻمسا ِك، أيها اﻷب رئيس الكهنة ِ نيقوﻻوس، فلذلك أ حرز ت بالتواضع ِ الرفعة وبالمسكنة ِ الغنى، فتشفع إلى المسيح ِ اﻹله في خﻻ ِص نفو ِسنا Though thou, O deathless One, didst descend into the grave, thou didst destroy the power of hell and, as Victor, thou didst rise again, O Christ our God. Thou didst greet the ointment-bearing women, saying, Rejoice! Thou didst bestow peace upon thy Disciples, and resurrection upon those that are fallen. ولئن كنت نزلت الى قبر يا من ﻻ يموت اﻻ أنك درست قوة الجحيم وقمت غالبا ايها المسيح اﻻله. وللنسوة الحامﻻت الطيب قلت افرحن ووهبت رسلك السﻻم يا مانح الواقعين القيام. (The angel spake to her that is full of grace, saying, “O pure virgin, rejoice; and I say also, Rejoice; for thy Son is risen from the tomb on the third day.” Shine, shine, O new Jerusalem; for the glory of the Lord hath risen upon thee. Rejoice and exult now, O Zion, and thou, O pure one, Theotokos, rejoice at the Resurrection of thy Son.) (ان الىﻻك تفوه نحو المنعم عليها ايتها العذراء النقية افرحي وايضا اقول افرحي ﻷن ابنك قد قام من القبر في اليوم الثالث. استنيري استنيري يا اورشليم الجديدة ﻷن مجد الرب قد اشرق عليك. افرحي اﻻن وتهللي يا صهيون وأنت يا نقية يا والدة اﻻله اطربي بقيامة ولدك) Acts 16:16-34 In those days, as we apostles were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit of divination and brought her owners much gain by soothsaying. She followed Paul and us, crying, "These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to you the way of salvation." And this she did for many days. But Paul was annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, "I charge you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And it came out that very hour. But when her owners saw that their hope of gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the market place before the rulers; and when they had brought them to the magistrates they said, "These men are Jews and they are disturbing our city. They advocate customs which it is not lawful for us Romans to accept or practice." The crowd joined in attacking them; and the magistrates tore the garments off them and gave orders to beat them with rods. And when they had inflicted many blows upon them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely. Having received this charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks. But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God and the prisoners were listening to them, and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and every one's fetters were unfastened. When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. But Paul cried with a loud voice, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here." And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas, and brought them out and said, "Men, what must I do to be saved?" And they said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all that were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their wounds, and he was baptized at once, with all his family. Then he brought them up into his house, and set food before them; and he rejoiced with all his household that he had believed in God. الرسالة: أمعىال الرسل 61:61-43 في تلك اﻷيام، فيما نحن الرسل منطلقون الى الصﻻة، استقبلتنا جارية بها روح عرافة، وكانت ت ك ِسب مواليها كسبا جزيﻻ بعرافتها. فطفقت تمشي في إثر بولس وإثرنا وتصيح قائلة: هؤﻻء الرجال هم عبيد هللا العل ّي وهم يبشرونكم بطريق الخﻻص. وصنعت ذلك أياما كثيرة، فتض ّجر بولس والتفت الى الروح وقال: إني آمر ك باسم يسوع المسيح ان تخرج منها، فخرج في تلك الساعة. فلما رأى مواليها انه قد خرج رجاء مكسبهم قبضوا على بولس وسيﻻ وج ّروهما الى السوق عند ال ح ّكام، وق ّدموهما الى الوﻻة قائلين: إن هذين الرجلين يبلبﻻن مدينتنا وهما يهوديّان، ويناديان بعادات ﻻ يجوز لنا قبولها وﻻ العمل بها إذ نحن رومانيون.

  • TREATISE on RELICS by John Calvin
    THE AGES DIGITAL LIBRARY THEOLOGY TREATISE ON RELICS by John Calvin B o o k s F o r Th e A g e s AGES Software • Albany, OR USA Version 1.0 © 1998 2 TREATISE ON RELICS. BY JOHN CALVIN, Newly Translated From The French Original With An Introductory Dissertation On The Miraculous Images, As Well As Other Superstitions, Of The Roman Catholic And Russo-Greek Churches. TO THE PROTESTANTS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THIS LITTLE WORK IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED BY THE TRANSLATOR. 3 PREFACE. THE Treatise on Relics by the great Reformer of Geneva: is not so generally known as it deserves, though at the time of its publication it enjoyed a considerable popularity.F1 The probable reason of this is, that the absurdity of the relics described in this Treatise has since the Reformation gradually become so obvious, that their exhibitors make as little noise as possible about their miraculous wares, whose virtues are no longer believed except by the most ignorant part of the population of countries wherein the education of the inferior classes is neglected. And, indeed, not only Protestants, but many enlightened Roman Catholics believed that all the miracles of relics, images, and other superstitions with which Christianity was infected during the times of mediaeval ignorance would be soon, by the progress of knowledge, consigned for ever to the oblivion of the dark ages, and only recorded in the history of the aberrations of the human mind, together with the superstitions of ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Unfortunately these hopes have not been realized, and are still remaining amongst the pia desideria.

Christ is risen! Indeed, He is risen! Today my brothers and sisters in Christ, we commemorate Saint Celidonius who was blind from birth. He was born without eye sockets and eyes; undoubtedly, the LORD could have healed the blind man by just commanding the healing with His Word. Instead, the LORD made mud from the ground with His saliva and placed it on the eyes of Saint Celidonius. By this, the Evangelist showed the Jews and shows us that the Word of God, without Whom “nothing was made that was made” (John 1:3), “the LORD God who formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life” (Gen 2:7), was dwelling (tabernacling; Jn 1:14) among His people, restoring His creation made ill by sin to the image of God. He commanded the man to wash in the pool of Siloam for the healing to be accomplished, and the blind man obeyed. By this prophetic action, the Evangelist brings to our attention the baptismal waters by which the LORD illumines us and begins the process of restoring in us the image of God: the Church calls this Theosis. Saint Celidonius received healing because he obeyed the LORD, and his cooperation with the LORD is what the Church calls synergy. Brothers and sisters let us cooperate with the LORD through prayer, fasting, almsgiving and participation in the life of the Church as He works daily to restore the image of God in us! Tone 5 Troparion (Resurrection) Let us, the faithful, praise and worship the Word, co-eternal with the Father and the Spirit, born for our salvation from the Virgin; for He willed to be lifted up on the Cross in the flesh, to endure death, and to raise the dead//by His glorious Resurrection.
