GREAT LENT SCHEDULE March 1 – April 19, 2020 MODELS of CHRISTIAN ASCETICISM WEDNESDAY MARCH 4 GREAT LENT SCHEDULE March 1 – April 19, 2020 MODELS OF CHRISTIAN ASCETICISM WEDNESDAY MARCH 4 Why Asceticism? Many of us may not even know what the word “asceticism” means. We may have mistaken impressions or negative associations around asceticism. Yet, much of our Christian practice is ascetic, and that is a good thing. In this session, we define asceticism, and see it in its proper, positive and life transforming light. WEDNESDAY MARCH 11 I Can’t Eat What??? Fasting can be confusing and the rules can be unclear. We will break down the fasting rules of the Church, practical ways to apply them, and most importantly, get OR HODOXY down to why we fast. Want a hint? It’s about a lot more than what we eat! WEDNESDAY MARCH 18 Lessons from the Monastery We will look at some of the classic Christian texts that highlight the ascetic life, and look to the monastic setting An annual lecture series taking place for a stark contrast between what we want and what we immediately after need Presanctified Liturgies. WEDNESDAY MARCH 25 It will last approximately 30- Asceticism in Icons and Art 40 minutes followed A survey of ascetic images in the iconography of the by an opportunity Church and other art tradtions for questions and discussion along with a WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1 Lenten meal. Asceticism in Our Day to Day We are not monks and nuns, but members of a parish. Our lives are structured around our work and our families. How can we employ asceticism to focus and enrich our lives even amidst all of the pressures the world places on us. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8 What’s in It for Me? Ascetic practice is largely about self denial. Yet, the Church teaches that we discover our truest and best selves through prayer and fasting. We will discuss what we gain when we strive to give up the delights of this life.

  • 2019 LENTEN GUIDE WEB.Pub
    LENTEN GUIDE 2019 Great Lent begins on March 11 and is followed by Holy Week, leading us to Pascha, Easter Sunday, April 28, 2019. We will greet the holy season of Great Lent with joy and enthusiasm and with the hope that we will be found worthy of its beauty and power. It is the season of repentance, a time to slow down and once again rediscover the meaning of our life in Christ. It is the time set aside each year for a renewal of our soul in the hope which has been given to us in Christ. This simple Lenten Guide highlights some of the Lenten services and activities taking place this year. Please try to take advantage of the unique opportunity of this holy season for the purpose of spiritual cleansing and healing. May God help us all to do so! Each Sunday during Great Lent, Matins is celebrated at 9:00 a.m. and the Divine Liturgy at 10:00 a.m. as usual. However, during the five Sundays in Great Lent, the Liturgy of Saint Basil is celebrated, instead of the usual Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom. The Liturgy of Saint Basil contains some of the most beautiful prayers of the Church. The Sacrament of Holy Confession The Sacrament of Penance—Confession is our opportunity for reconciliation with God and man in the Church. There are three main elements to the act of formal penance: Sincere sorrow for sins committed; an open and heartfelt confession of sins; and the prayer of absolution given by God through the priest and through which the forgiveness of God is bestowed upon the repentant sinner.

  • Liturgical Functions of Late Byzantine Art: an Analysis of the Thessaloniki Epitaphios
    Issue 5 2016 Funding for Vexillum provided by The Medieval Studies Program at Yale University Issue 5 Available online at http://vexillumjournal.org/ Liturgical Functions of Late Byzantine Art: An Analysis of the Thessaloniki Epitaphios JUDITH SHANIKA PELPOLA STANFORD UNIVERSITY The Thessaloniki Epitaphios, a late Byzantine embroidered textile, is an important piece to consider in the study of Byzantine art and its role in liturgy. In this paper, I undertake a stylistic and formalistic analysis of the inscriptions, depiction of the humanity of Christ, and treatment of time in the Thessaloniki Epitaphios to determine if the Epitaphios had liturgical rather than simply symbolic functions, thus helping contextualize Byzantine art within the Western canon. Analyzing the potential for the liturgical function of this piece additionally sheds light onto how Byzantine art itself should be classified with regards to the Western canon. Introduction The role of late Byzantine pieces in liturgical rites has been subject to a longstanding debate in the field, with one of the most recent subjects of this discussion being the Thessaloniki Epitaphios (see Figure 1). A silk on linen textile, the Epitaphios originates from Thessaloniki, Greece, circa 1300.1 Located on a trade route that connected Constantinople and Durazzo on the Adriatic, Thessaloniki was a key commercial port and site for religious pilgrimage in late Byzantium.2 Several stylistic features, in particular the expressiveness of the figures, suggest the Epitaphios was produced during the late Byzantine Palaiologan Dynasty (1259-1453), under which Thessaloniki reached its cultural height, and when there was a significant emphasis in the culture on liturgical rites.3 Thus, artworks created during the Palaiologan Dynasty invites scrutiny with respect to their roles as active participants in liturgical rites.

  • St Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral SUMMER COFFEE HOURS! Cordially Invites
    August 1, 2017 Father’s Message Beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ: Greetings in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! St. At the heart of the worship life of Orthodox Christians is the celebration of the Divine Liturgy. And at the heart of the Divine Liturgy is the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. This ritual is the most Nicholas ancient and universal in the history of our Church, going back all the way to our Lord and Savior Jesus Greek Christ, who instituted it at His last meal with His disciples before His death, called the “Mystical Supper” in our tradition. He declared the bread to be His Body, and the wine to be His Blood. We make this Orthodox miracle real again every time we repeat His words, and invoke God the Father to send down His Holy Cathedral Spirit to effect the change. How exactly this happens, our Church does not attempt to analyze; it is the “mystery” at the heart of the Mystical Supper. All we know is that it is the Lord’s ardent desire that we be united to Him and to one another not just spiritually, but also in a material, tangible way, through receiving AUGUST 2017 Holy Communion. In this manner, we are invited to experience a foretaste of God’s Kingdom already in this life, “for remission of sins and life everlasting.” Newsletter When the priest invokes the Holy Spirit, the prayer focuses on more than the bread and wine. The exact words are: “Once again we offer to you this spiritual worship without the shedding of blood, and we ask, pray, and entreat you: send down Your Holy Spirit upon us and upon these gifts here present- Points of ed.” The blessing, the sanctification is intended not just for what is in the chalice, but also on everyone Interest Inside: who is present for the worship service.

  • The Byzantine Euchologion
    The Byzantine Euchologion by George N. Filias - rev. Theodoros J. Koumarianos University of Athens The Euchologion is a codex that contains a collection of prayers. The composite word is made from the Greek words εὐχή (prayer) and λόγιον (collection). It is the Prayer Book used bishops, priests and deacons for all kinds of Ἀκολουθίαι in the Byzantine Rite, such as the Holy Mysteries, the Offices and other Prayers. In this article Filias first discusses the content of the Euchologion followed by its origins, evolution and history. He places the manuscript tradition into groups according to textual content. Focus is then given to the liturgical function of the Euchologion and related codex structures with examples of problems concerning nomenclature. The article ends with an outline of scholarly research in particular most recent studies along with a useful appendix exhibiting the contents of a Euchologion. The text of each Prayer in the Euchologion almost always contains references to scriptural passages and biblical events, as well as praises and thanksgiving to God for His benefactions, and finally petitions to God. Every single Prayer is constructed in a dialogical form between God and man. Prayers are usually written down in small groups, each group constituting a different Service, such as the Holy Liturgy, the rite of Baptism, Vespers, Matins, the Great Blessing of Waters on Theophany, the rite of Matrimony, and the Burial Service. A Euchologion also includes rubrics or liturgical instructions for the proper performance of Services, independent from the rest of its contents. During the first five centuries there was freedom in the recitation of Prayers, and writing them down for reciting was unnecessary.
