Indeed He is Risen! 2005 To the Very Reverend and Reverend Clergy, Monastics, and Faithful of the Orthodox Church in America: Dearly Beloved in the Lord, nce again, we greet one another with these joyous words, words that not only embody the essence of our Paschal celebration, but embody the very essence of our faith and Ohope in the love of Our Lord. Central to our faith are the words of Saint Paul: “If Christ is not risen, our preaching is in vain and your faith is also in vain” (1 Corinthians 15:14). Having desired to reconcile all creation to its Creator, the only-begotten Son of God took on our human fl esh. He entered human history, time, and space, as one of us. He came not to be served but, rather, to serve. And in so doing, He revealed that God “is not the God of the dead, but of the living” (Matthew 22:32), the God Who desired the renewal and transformation of His people and all creation with such intensity that He was willing to die, that life might reign. By His death and resurrection, He led us into a new promised land, one in which there is no sickness, sorrow, nor sighing, but life everlasting.

  • With the Suffering Servant During Our July 2017 Holy Land Pilgrimage, We Visited the Church of St
    Let us go early to the vineyards, and see if the vines are in bloom, If the buds have opened, if the pomegranates have blossomed; There will I give you my love. Song of Songs 7:13 Fruits of Our Monastic Garden Christ the Bridegroom Monastery Burton, Ohio Spring 2018 Volume 8 Issue 1 With the Suffering Servant During our July 2017 Holy Land pilgrimage, we visited the Church of St. Peter Gallicantu in Jerusalem. Sr. Petra (formerly Sara Lynn), wrote this reflection about her experience at this church before she was named after St. Peter at her tonsure as a rasophore nun on Feb. 1. In fact, she wrote it before she even began to consider the name Petra as one of her three names to submit to Mother (read more about Sr. Petra’s tonsure and her connection to St. Peter inside). We hope that these thoughts will aid your prayer during the Great Fast, Great and Holy Week, and moments of suffering. T he places that most moved me on our pilgrimage were locations I didn’t know existed—the Tombs of the Prophets Zechariah, Haggai, Malachi; St. Joseph’s Cave in Bethlehem where the Holy Family lived in the months after Jesus’ birth, and where the angel warned Joseph in a dream to take the Virgin and Child and flee to Egypt; the spring along the Sea of Galilee where Jesus called the first Apostles, Peter and Andrew; and the pit in which Jesus was imprisoned in Caiaphas’ house during His trial. In my ignorance, I was able to receive them as a pure gift without any expectations attached.

  • Pirate Ballet
    Pirate ballet The tricorne or tricorn is a style of hat that was popular during the 18th century, falling out of style by , though actually not called a "tricorne" until the midth century. During the 18th century, hats of this general style were referred to as "cocked hats". At the peak of its popularity, the tricorne varied greatly in style and size, and was worn not only by the aristocracy, but also as common civilian dress, and as part of military and naval uniforms. The style served two purposes: first, it allowed stylish gentlemen to show off the most current fashions of their wigs, and thus their social status; and secondly, the cocked hat, with its folded brim, was much smaller than other hats, and therefore could be more easily tucked under an arm when going inside a building, where social etiquette dictated that a gentleman should remove his hat. Tricornes with laced sides could have the laces loosened and the sides dropped down to provide better protection from the weather, sun, and rain. Tricornes had a rather broad brim , pinned up on either side of the head and at the back, producing a triangular shape. The hat was typically worn with one point facing forward, though it was not at all unusual for soldiers, who would often rest a rifle or musket on their left shoulder, to wear the tricorne pointed above their left eyebrow to allow better clearance. The crown is low, unlike the steeple hats worn by the Puritans or the top hat of the 19th century.
