KELLAMIS YAL: NATALIA KELLAMIS NATALIA KELLAMIS FATHER NICK’S PASTORAL LETTER FOR THE BEGINNING OF LENT My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, The season of Great Lent is upon us once more, a season which coincides with springtime and the rebirth of nature and new life which we see all around us. The Holy Church also desires that each of us grow spiritually and experience a reawakening of our relationship with God during the forty days of Lent, which culminate at Holy Pascha with the Lord’s passion, death and resurrection. The purpose of Great Lent is not to make us feel disheartened or uncomfortable in the way we live out our faith, but it is a call to self-examination and for taking a fresh look at our attitude and behavior towards others. Often unknown to ourselves we can little by little become self-centered and lapse and indifference to others. Our baptism into the Body of Christ does not allow us to pass by on the other side and so ignore the needs and sufferings of those around us. The traditional penitential nature of Great Lent is not intended to punish us, but to remind us of our need for God’s grace and of our obligation to put others before ourselves. Awareness of the presence of God surrounding us and of the need to engage in practical acts of charity will ensure that we grow in God’s grace and so become ever more Christ-like in this holy season. The problems and tragedies of the world can at times appear to overwhelm us and leave us with a sense of helplessness, but we must never underestimate the effect our prayer has before God. The power of prayer has its essential place in our Lenten exercises. Prayer unites us with all the saints in heaven, and so we are joined in one great surge of prayer which arises before God day and night. To know the gift of prayer and its unfailing power is one of the great graces of Lent. My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, as we embark on our Lenten journey, let us be cheerful and of good heart. Let us thank God for this time of grace and for the opportunity to grow spiritually ourselves, while being conscious of others who may need our help. Let us keep our gaze firmly fixed on Christ this Great Lent, both as a Church and as individual baptized Orthodox Christians, for in His own marvelous words He is the way, the truth and the life. With an assurance of my prayers through this Great Lent. In Christ’s Love, Fr. Nicholas V. Gamvas Koinonia March & April 2021 3 H Μεγάλη Σαρακοστή «Τό στάδιο τῶν ἀρετῶν ἔχει ἀνοίξει, ὅσοι θέλετε νά ἀθληθεῖται ἐλάτε μέσα σ’ αὐτό…» Μέ αὐτά τά λόγια ἡ Ἐκκλησία, μᾶς καλωσορίζει στά πνευματικά ἀγωνίσματα τῆς νηστείας, τῆς προσευχῆς καί τῆς μετανοίας, τά ὁποῖα εἶναι ἀλληλένδετα καί μαζί μέ τήν φιλανθρωπία προάγουν τήν πνευματική μας ἀναβάθμιση.

    Special Edition: 200th Anniversary of the Greek War of Independence 1821-2021 18 1821-2021 A publication of the Dean C. and Zoë S. Pappas Interdisciplinary March 2021 VOLUME 1 ISSUE NO. 3 Center for Hellenic Studies and the Friends of Hellenic Studies From the Director Dear Friends, On March 25, 1821, in the city of Kalamata in the southern Peloponnesos, the chieftains from the region of Mani convened the Messinian Senate of Kalamata to issue a revolutionary proclamation for “Liberty.” The commander Petrobey Mavromichalis then wrote the following appeal to the Americans: “Citizens of the United States of America!…Having formed the resolution to live or die for freedom, we are drawn toward you by a just sympathy; since it is in your land that Liberty has fixed her abode, and by you that she is prized as by our fathers.” He added, “It is for you, citizens of America, to crown this glory, in aiding us to purge Greece from the barbarians, who for four hundred years have polluted the soil.” The Greek revolutionaries understood themselves as part of a universal struggle for freedom. It is this universal struggle for freedom that the Pappas Center for Hellenic Studies and Stockton University raises up and celebrates on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the beginning of the Greek Revolution in 1821. The Pappas Center IN THIS ISSUE for Hellenic Studies and the Friends of Hellenic Studies have prepared this Special Edition of the Hellenic Voice for you to enjoy.

Whereas the ancient Greeks developed the concept of democ- racy, in which the supreme power to govern was vested in the people; Whereas the Founding Fathers of the United States, many of whom read Greek political philosophy in its original text, drew heavily on the political experience and philos- ophy of ancient Greece in forming our representative de- mocracy; Whereas the Greek national anthem (Hymn to Liberty) in- cludes the words, ‘‘Most heartily was gladdened George Washington’s brave land’’; Whereas Greek Commander in Chief Petros Mavromichalis, a founder of the modern Greek state, said to the citizens of the United States in 1821 that ‘‘it is in your land that liberty has fixed her abode and . in imitating you, we shall imitate our ancestors and be thought worthy of them if we succeed in resembling you’’; Whereas the people of the United States generously offered humanitarian assistance to the Greek people during their struggle for independence; Whereas Greece played a major role in the World War II struggle to protect freedom and democracy through such 2 bravery as was shown in the historic Battle of Crete, which provided the Axis land war with its first major set- back, setting off a chain of events that significantly af- fected the outcome of World War II; Whereas the price for Greece in holding onto our common values in their region was high, as hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed in Greece during World War II; Whereas, throughout the 20th century,

  • The Greek Marseillaise of Rhigas Velestinlis
    THE GREEK MARSEILLAISE OF RHIGAS VELESTINLIS The Court archives of the investigation held at Vienna on Rhigas’ arrest turn our attention to a re-study of the subject, even if we lacked all other evi­ dence about his having composed A poem, which is A free version, or A mere imitation of the French Marseillaise.1 In the reports of the Austrian examiner it is recorded that, as appears from the testimony of Dr. Demetrios Nicolides, one of the principal persons among those accused, and as confirmed by the statements of those indicted with him, the “conspirators” meeting at Argenti’s home sang, besides Rhigas’ War March, some strophes of the Marseillaise Allons enfants.г Elsewhere, from the testimony of Kaspar Peters, instructor in French, the Austrian inquiry brings to light that Philip Petrovich, the youngest and most enthusiastic of Rhigas’ companions, asked of Peters (as Petrovich himself knew no French),'to translate into German apparently the text of the Marseillaise. Peters promised, but in the end only copied the text, which he handed over to Petrovich.13 2 Rhigas followed the events of the French Revolution with anxious inter­ est, as he drew his political ideology from it, and relied on its contribution for the liberation of Greece. So he used to instil his revolutionary spirit into his comrades by applying the music of French rebel songs to free renderings of them into Greek, or to verses of his own inspiration. It would seam strange to us if he had ignored, or passed over in silence the renowned revolutionary 1.

Power! Honor! These are the temptations that, unfortunately, many people are unable to resist. This is the source of all the disputes, disagreements and divisions among Christians. This is the root of people's forgetting the "one thing needful" which is proposed to us by the true Christian faith and which consists of prayer, acts of repentance, and sincere, un-hypocritical charity to our neighbors. The Holy Church always calls us to this, but especially now, during the Great Fast! What is required of us Christians is not some kind of "exalted politics," not lofty phrases and hazy philosophy, but the most humble prayer of the Publican: "God, be merciful to me, a sinner!", acts of repentance, and doing good to our neighbors, which proceeds from a pure heart. It is for the practice of all of this that the Church has established Great Lent! How powerfully, colorfully, graphically, and convincingly, with what ardent inspiration is all of this spoken of in the divine services of Great Lent! No one anywhere has such a wealth of edification in this regard as do we Orthodox in our incomparable Lenten services, which, to their shame, the majority of Orthodox in our times do not know at all.
