  • FOLLOWING the STAR Conversations with Sitka Elders
    A JOURNAL OF ORTHODOX FAITH AND CULTURE ROAD TO EMMAUS Help support Road to Emmaus Journal. The Road to Emmaus staff hopes that you find our journal inspiring and useful. While we offer our past articles on-line free of charge, we would warmly appreciate your help in covering the costs of producing this non-profit journal, so that we may continue to bring you quality articles on Orthodox Christianity, past and present, around the world. Thank you for your support. Please consider a donation to Road to Emmaus by visiting the Donate page on our website. FOLLOWING THE STAR Conversations with Sitka Elders In August of 2015, Road to Emmaus asked four long-time parishioners of the Cathedral of St. Michael the Archangel to tell us their memories and impressions of Orthodox church life in Sitka, Alaska. Three are native Tlingit: Subdeacon Lavrentii Young, Herman Davis, and Betty Allen, and the fourth is Betty’s husband Bob Allen, an Alaska resident for more than sixty-five years. We think you will agree that their narratives are both surprising and moving. SUBDEACON LAVRENTII: When I was a young boy, my grandfather, John Littlefield from England, came to work in the Chichikoff mine stamping numbers onto the gold bricks. He stayed in Sitka, built himself a house, and married my grandmother, Annie Peters of the Kogwanton tribe of the Eagle moiety. I belong to the Gooch Hit (Wolf) House and to four different moi- eties within that house: the Eagle, the Wolf, the Bear, and the Killer Whale. My wife Marina comes from the Raven and the Dog Salmon moieties—the opposite of myself.

GREgoRY, NYssa. magazine that you are reading was motivated The by the assumption that laymen can effect positive changes in the Church by assisting young men and women through a college scholarship program. At the heart of this laymen’s initiative is a trust from which scholarships will be awarded annually to Orthodox Christian men and women in the North and Central Americas. The trust will be grown from the bequests, gifts and pledges of believers from all jurisdictions of Orthodoxy in America. Scholarships from the trust will expand the pool of educated believers from whom future clergy, bishop and lay leaders will emerge. Members of the St. Gregory of Nyssa parish in Columbus, Ohio, Diocese of the Midwest, Orthodox Church in America, wrote, edited, and produced this first issue of the magazine. For future issues, we welcome manuscripts from contributors and letters from readers. For the first edition we focus on St. Gregory of Nyssa, known as the Father of Fathers, younger brother of St. Basil the Great. You also will read about some programs at work in our parish.

  • Full of Thy Glory: Recipes for All Seasons
    Full of Thy Glory: Recipes for All Seasons from the parishioners of Holy Cross Antiochian Orthodox Church 105 North Camp Meade Road Linthicum, Maryland 21090 (410) 850-5090 www.holycrossonline.org 1 Introduction Fasting in the Orthodox Church Each recipe in this book contains a designation as to its fasting category, as follows. Recipes that have no designation are suitable for all fasts. I. Meat: includes flesh of animals and birds, as well as items like gelatin and lard that are made from meat. II. Animal Products: includes dairy products and eggs. III. Fish: includes all fish with backbones. IV. Olive Oil and Wine: some consume other types of oil and alcohol during fasts, while others interpret this category to include all types. Orthodox Christians fast on the following days: November 15 through December 24, in preparation for the Feast of the Nativity (Advent) Judgment Sunday through Holy Saturday, in preparation for the Feast of Pascha (Great Lent) Holy Spirit Monday through June 29, in preparation for the Feast of Ss. Peter & Paul (The Apostles’ Fast) August 1 through 14, in preparation for the Feast of the Dormition (The Dormition Fast) Every Wednesday and Friday, in commemoration of Christ’s betrayal and passion (except when these days fall on a feast) General practice among Orthodox Christians is to fast from categories I and II during all fasts and categories II and III at selected times, depending on the season and day. Many Orthodox calendars, both online and in print, contain fasting instructions for each day of the calendar year. As with any discipline, fasting is meant to stretch, not break, one’s spiritual stamina.

The word "Great11 has justly been attributed to St. Gregory who stands as a dividing mark between the Ancient World and the Middle Ages, and who, undoubtedly, did more than any other one individual to direct the course of European progress and development. Gregory was one of those dominating personalities whose influence was felt not only during the age in which he lived, but also down through the great cycles of time even to the present moment. Not the Catholics alone, but all Christians living in the world today, share in the fruits of his beneficent labors, and therefore owe to Gregory a debt of gratitude which more than thirteen centuries have not effaced, but rather increased. For are not these all descendants of those nations of Europe whose ancestors belonged to the ancient tribes who owe their civilization to Gregory? Gregory has played a prominent part in secular as well as in ecclesiastical history, and the seed of his influence has brought forth a rich harvest.
