Website: vahfj.com Issue 5 - December 2018 “Therefore, the Lord Himself shall give you a sign. Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a Son...” Isaiah 7:14 Dear Friends and Benefactors, In a world where computer screen or iphones are open in almost every ofce, home or hand, the word, ’Icon’ means no more than a shortcut to a computer program. But for the early Christian, the word, ’Icon’ brought to mind a sacred image. This form of sacred art has existed from the beginning of Christianity. Tradition has it that the frst icon (Greek -eikō n "image") of the most holy Mother of God (THEOTOKOS or "bearer of God.") was made by St. Luke. Yet the frst True Icon not painted by human hands, was the Icon of the Holy Face of Jesus given to us by Our Lord Himself through the holy courageous woman, whom tradition names “Veronica”. The name Veronica, (Vero nika) means true image. A religious Icon then is a Sacred Image. Unlike our Western holy pictures which appeal to the eyes and stir the emotions; the Sacred Icon does not, as a norm, appeal to our outward senses. To the untrained eye, it has little beauty and many peculiarities. Yet these very peculiarities, when rightly understood, draw the mind to contemplate spiritual realities. But how, one might ask, can those of us, not brought up in the Eastern Christian tradition, begin to understand and appreciate this form of Christian art? We do so by standing before it; by reading it and by prayerful meditation before it.

  • Eritrea Researched and Compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of Ireland on 27 April 2010
    Eritrea Researched and compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of Ireland on 27 April 2010 Are Catholics allowed to practice their religion freely in Eritrea? The Executive Summary (paragraph 1) of a report published by the Institute on Religion and Public Policy states: The status of Religious Freedom in Eritrea is atrocious. While a 1997 Constitution provides protections for freedom of religion and conscience, this Constitution has not been implemented. The country only recognizes 4 religious groups: the Eritrean Orthodox Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Eritrea, Islam, and the Roman Catholic Church. Members of unregistered religious groups face harassment, imprisonment, torture, and, in some cases, death at the hands of state authorities. Even members of registered religious groups face harassment, imprisonment, and interference from the government. The religious freedom situation in Eritrea is widely recognized by both governmental and non-government actors and agencies to be among the worst in the world. (Institute on Religion and Public Policy (2009) Religious Freedom in Eritrea, p.1) In a section titled Government Interference and Abuses of Registered Religious Groups (paragraph 8) this report states: The government interferes in the everyday workings of registered religious groups at the highest levels. The Eritrean Orthodox Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Eritrea, the Roman Catholic Church, and the Muslim community in Eritrea have all faced abuses and interference in their religious affairs at the hands of the government. The government required all four of the officially registered to submit reports on the sources of their funding as well as complete list of personnel and property.

Como tal, es el jefe de Papa de la Iglesia católica Estado y el octavo soberano de la Ciudad del Vaticano. 13 de marzo de 2013 Tras la histórica renuncia de Benedicto XVI al cargo papal, fue elegido el 13 de marzo de 2013 en la quinta votación efectuada durante el segundo día de cónclave.
