  • The Solemnity of Pentecost – Handout
    From the Mons: St Catherine Labouré Gymea Parish Dear Parishioners, The Christian holiday of Pentecost, which is celebrated the 49th day (the Seventh Sunday) after Easter Sunday, commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ while they were in Jerusalem celebrating the Feast of Weeks, as described in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 2:1–31). The Solemnity of Pentecost The holiday is also called "White Sunday" or "Whitsunday" or "Whitsun", especially in the United Kingdom, where traditionally the next day, Whit Monday, was also a public holiday (since 1971 fixed by statute on the last Monday in May). 30 / 31 May 2020 Year A In German, Pentecost is called Pfingsten, developed through contracting the Greek term pen[te]k[os]te, and often coincides with From the Mons: scholastic holidays and the beginning of many outdoor and springtime activities, such as festivals and organized outdoor Dear Parishioners, activities by youth organizations. The Monday after Pentecost is now declared Mary, the Mother of the Church (and that Liturgy is on the We are moving to have Masses each day @ 9:15 am (Monday— website) Saturday) From Monday, 1 June - there is a limit of 50 persons, but Servers, Ministers, Readers, Organists, Singers, etc. are NOT In Eastern Christianity, Pentecost can also refer to the entire fifty days counted. of Easter through Pentecost inclusive; hence the book containing the We will have 5 pm Saturday evening and 9:30 am Sunday mornings liturgical texts is called the "Pentecostarion". Since its date depends on the date of Easter, Pentecost is a "moveable feast".

  • May 2021 Mustardseed
    - A GRAIN OF MUSTARDSEED - Dear Friends in Christ: May 2021 Notwithstanding the continued strictures of the COVID-19 pandemic (vaccinations numbers are up, but so are reported infections in our County and region), May brings a season of religious feasting and celebration: We call to remembrance many of the saving acts of our Lord and Savior; we commemorate the lives and sacrifices of saints and saintly brethren, we pray, as is particularly timely this year, for God’s renewal of His creation. St. Philip and St. James’ Feast is kept with Holy Communion on Saturday, the 1st. Rogation Sunday is on the 9th and we observe the day by singing the Litany in Procession around the precincts of our property (current protocols allow to ‘belt it out’ when outside and wearing masks…so let’s do our best!). In so doing we pray God’s blessing upon his creation in this place wherein He has called us to proclaim Christ’s renewing grace. The three Rogation Days (from the Latin “rogare:” “to ask/pray”) follow, bringing us to the close of Eastertide on Ascension Day on Thursday the 13th (Communion services at 10:00 am and 7:00 pm). Ten days of Ascensiontide carry us to Whitsunday (Pentecost) on the 23rd and the octave of that feast gives us Whit Monday, Whit Tuesday and then three Ember Days on the 26th, 28th and 29th. The Feast of the Holy and Undivided Trinity is kept on Sunday the 30th. We round out the month by praying for the repose of the souls of those who have given their lives in the service of our Nation with a requiem on Memorial Day, May 31st at 8:00 am (not our usual 10:00 time as Fr.

  • Thinking Aloud Ix This Monday Is Whit Monday. Many People Will Hardly
    Thinking aloud ix This Monday is Whit Monday. Many people will hardly remember it since the Spring Bank Holiday replaced it. Whit Monday was the first Bank Holiday granted in 1871, Christmas Day and Easter Monday were added. This Sunday is Whitsunday, the New Testament reminds us of the help and support given to us by God in His Holy Spirit. It was a very popular day for Baptism when white is traditionally worn, hence Whit or White Sunday. It’s a forward looking festival, God’s support for all we are doing and going to do. Lockdown is being relaxed a little on this Whit Monday, but life remains with a need for caution. We must remember that there are many who are still advised to self-isolate, there are many others who remain cautious for various reasons and will not be rushing out to the shops to buy the latest treat from Birds’. As we look toward to a more normal future it is important we continue to support the elderly and the vulnerable, we maintain our new friendships with neighbours and treasure close relationships with family and friends again. We still need to support in our prayers the NHS and carers and everyone who restlessly works to keep life normal for us. There are still thousands who are bereaved. The message of Whitsun is living with the support of the hand of the Creator God as we remember we are hopefully moving slowly beyond Coronavirus with enhanced compassion, support, and encouragement for all we meet. Last weekend saw another important celebration, that of our Muslim friends, the keeping of Eid.

(Mass Line is the cost of a local call) ~ PENTECOST CUSTOMS ~ The Veni Sancte Spiritus sequence chanted at today's Mass, comes right after the Epistle, includes the words, "Heal our wounds, our strength renew, on our dryness pour thy dew." From this comes the custom, thought to bring blessings, of walking barefoot through the dew on Whitsunday morning. Another custom, though one rarely practiced is "cheese rolling" by which people would race to see who could roll round cheeses downhill the fastest. (Perhaps see before H&S Executive prevent it completely. Pity there are no hills in the Parish, this would be a great Whit-Monday Fete game..!) The Dove the form the Holy Spirit took at Christ's Baptism is the primary symbol of the day. In medieval times, there even used to be "Holy Ghost Holes" in the roofs of some churches from which a dove, real or a model, would be lowered over the congregation as trumpets sounded or the choir mimicked the sounds of rustling winds. When the dove descended, red rose petals or, incredibly, pieces of burning straw symbolizing the "tongues of flame" in Acts would shower down.

  • Pentecost Or Whit Sunday. When I Was Little, Whit Sunday Was a Favourite of Mine As It Always Marked the Beginning of the Half Term Break from School
    Quest 23/5/21 Pentecost or Whit Sunday. When I was little, Whit Sunday was a favourite of mine as it always marked the beginning of the half term break from school. The bank holiday we now called the ‘Spring Bank Holiday’ (on 31st May this year) was always on the Monday after Whit Sunday and as Whit Sunday falls 5 weeks after Easter, the date could vary quite a bit. For centuries it has been a time of celebrations and holidays - perhaps going back to pagan times, marking the start of summer. Still today you find ‘Whit walks’ or fetes, morris dancing, parades and races. In Manchester it became known as ‘Gaping Sunday’ as the cotton mills often closed for a week at this time and all the workers flocked into the city centre to look or ‘gape’ in the shop windows - but couldn’t afford to buy anything….. Cheese rolling down Cooper’s Hill near Gloucester on Whit Monday. You have to chase a round cheese down a very steep hill. It was banned for a while because it caused so many injuries but so many people complained that they brought it back! The church tends now to call it ‘Pentecost’, marking the five weeks since Easter. (‘Pentagon’, ‘pentathlon’ etc.) It is marked by the colours red and white; if you are in church today, look at the flowers, the altar covering, what the priest is wearing etc. Can you guess why the key colour is red? If not, read on and pick up a clue. For Christians, it is the day the Holy Spirit comes to the disciples, to ‘replace’ the gap in their lives left by Jesus’ death and then his ‘ascension’ into Heaven, when even the resurrected Jesus leaves them for good.

  • THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY REVIEW a Journal of Regional Studies
    SPRING 2018 THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY REVIEW A Journal of Regional Studies The Hudson River Valley Institute at Marist College is supported by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. This issue of The Hudson River Valley Review has been generously underwritten by the following: Peter Bienstock THE POUGHKEEpsIE GRAND HOTEL SHAWANGUNK VALLEY AND CONFERENCE CENTER …centrally located in the Historic Hudson Valley CONSERVANCY midway between NYC and Albany… Conservation • Preservation • Education www.pokgrand.com From the Editors Welcome to our bigger, and more expansive, issue of The Hudson River Valley Review. As well as the enlarged format, we’ve widened the publication’s scope to accommodate more than 300 years of history. And while the topics covered in this issue might be broadly familiar, each essay offers details that reveal refreshing new insight. While the origins and evolution of Pinkster may be debatable, its celebration in seventeenth-century New Netherland offered an opportunity for residents—including enslaved African Americans—to relax, enjoy and express themselves. In the years leading up to the American Revolution, a French emigrant farmer drafted chapters of a book describing his new home in Orange County. These now-classic recollections would not be published until after he had been accused of disloyalty and chased out of the country. His eventual return—and the story of his trials and travels—is the stuff of cinema. In the early nineteenth century, another globetrotting writer, Washington Irving, helped to mold the young nation with his fiction and biographies. But the story of Irving’s own life is best conveyed at Sunnyside, his Westchester home, now preserved as a museum.

  • Message of Condolences from the Holy & Great
    MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCES FROM THE HOLY & GREAT COUNCIL OF THE ORTHODOX CHURCH TO H.M. KING ABDULLAH II IBN AL HUSSEIN. At the Orthodox Academy of Crete, on the 22th of June 2016 His Majesty King Abdullah II Ibn Al Hussein King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan In Amman Your Majesty, The Holy and Great Council of the Orthodox Church would like to express its deepest sympathies and convey its warmest prayers to the beloved Jordanian people, having been informed of the horrifying violence that took place on Tuesday, the 21st of June, near the al-Rukban refugee settlement. It is with deepest sorrow that we the Hierarchs, who have come together at this present Holy and Great Council under our Chairmanship, express our wholehearted condolences for this inhumane terrorist attack. The violence wrought upon these already overwhelmed people, who have been driven from their homes and were seeking asylum and protection, constitutes an offense before the loving and merciful God as well as before the very dignity of human beings. May God grant rest to the souls of the innocent victims and may He strengthen and heal those wounded, as well as grant comfort from above to their loved ones. We pray that the Lord and God of mercy will erase the plague of terrorism and violence from the face of the earth and grant to humanity peace, justice and reconciliation. BARTHOLOMEW of Constantinople Chairman of the Holy and Great Council DELIBERATIONS OF THE GREAT SYNOD OF ORTHODOXY ON TUESDAY, 21 JUNE 2016 On the morning of Tuesday, the 8th/21st of June 2016, divine Liturgy was held in Arabic at the Church of the Dormition of Theotokos, Gonia, under the Patriarchate of Jerusalem.
