Liturgical Calendar 2020-2021 of the Celtic Orthodox Church Liturgical Calendar 2020-2021 of the Celtic Orthodox Church 1 Liturgical Calendar of the Celtic Orthodox Church 2020-2021 Translated from the French, published by Éditions Hol Levenez Le Bois Juhel 56130 Saint-Dolay, France Cover page: Icon of Saint John the Baptist 2020-2021 Introduction The calendar of the Celtic Orthodox Church begins on the first Sunday of November after All Saints Day (November 1st). This choice reconciles two traditions, one linked to the Syrian Orthodox Church tradition, which begins the liturgical year on the first Sunday of November (after All Saints Day), and the other according to an ancient Western non- Roman custom. It presents the Saints of the Universal Church as well as the principal Saints who have illuminated the history of the Celtic Orthodox Church. The Liturgical year opens before us as a permanent invitation to deepen our spirituality. The calendar answers, “present,” to the call to deepen our faith in Christ Jesus. The Sunday and feast-day readings are an inheritance of many centuries that belongs to our spiritual heritage. The liturgical cycle was developed over a period of time and set up by our Fathers under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It is both a divine and human work, providentially proposed to our generation, in order that we may rediscover our spiritual roots in a world that is becoming more and more dechristianized. In this sense this calendar is prophetic for, drawing from ancient Western sources from before the Carolingian reforms, it is surprisingly suited to our times. This appears very clearly when we let ourselves be guided by this grouping together of feasts and readings that give rhythm to our daily life. We hope that the liturgical cycle, experienced day after day by biblical readings—and understood as being the Word of God—continuing to guide and situate its people in history, may be a source of grace and strength throughout this year. WE FOLLOW THE WESTERN TRADITION REGARDING LITURGICAL COLORS: VIOLET: From the first day of Advent to Christmas Eve. From the Sunday before Ash Wednesday to the eve of Pascha (Easter). For the Liturgies of the deceased and of the sick. 2 BLUE: Feasts of the Virgin Mary, the Mother of God. WHITE: From Christmas to the Sunday of the Wedding of Cana inclusively. From Pascha (Easter) to the eve of Pentecost. On the feasts of Our Lord Jesus Christ, of the Mother of God, and non-martyr saints. RED: Pentecost Sunday. The Exaltation of the Holy Cross. All Saints’ Day. At the Liturgies of the Holy Spirit. At the Liturgies of the Holy Martyrs. GREEN: From the first Sunday to the last Sunday after Pentecost. From the Monday after the Sunday of the Wedding of Cana to the Saturday before the Sunday preceding Ash Wednesday. BLACK: Good Friday.

The fast is partially lifted on Sunday. Everyone, except monks who observe a strict fast until the Feast of the Nativity, is allowed to eat animal sub-products (eggs or milk products). ♦ Great Lent begins on Ash Wednesday – strict fast (no animal products). ♦ Eucharistic: 5 Morning Liturgy – begins at midnight. Liturgy during Lent (5:30 P.M.) – begins at noon. No fasting: From Christmas to the closing of the Theophany From Pascha (Easter) to Pentecost Lenten Services: The Eucharistic Liturgy replaces Vespers every Wednesday and Friday from Ash Wednesday to Pascha (Easter). The Prayer of Saint Ephrem the Syrian is recited at the end of every office during Lent from Ash Wednesday to Palm Saturday. They are omitted on Fridays after Vespers and Sundays until None inclusively. No Angelus is recited during Holy Week. The Prayer of Saint Ephrem (recited kneeling down) O Lord and Master of my life, take from me the spirit of sloth, faint-heartedness, lust of power, and idle talk. But give rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience and love to Your servant. Yes, O Lord and King, grant that I may see my own errors and not to judge my brother, O You who are blessed unto the Age of ages, Amen. (Performing a Metany each time we repeat the prayer 3 times:) O God, purify me a sinner! How to use this calendar: Reading of Biblical References: For example: 2Co 3:4-15, 18; 4:1; 6:13-15a 2Co: refer to the Biblical abbreviations on page 7; The first number: the chapter; The following numbers: the verses; A dash between 2 Arabic numerals (4-15) means that verse 4 is read to verse 15 inclusively; A comma (15,18) means that we read verse 15 and then skip to verse 18; 6 A semicolon means a change of chapter; [a] means the first part of the verse; [b] the second. For the example above we read: 2nd Epistle to Corinthians, chapter 3, verse 4 to verse 15 inclusively; then verse 18 to Chapter 4, verse 1; then to chapter 6, verse 13 until the first part of verse 15 inclusively. Psalms: We remind you that the Psalms in this calendar are numbered according to the Septuagint—that is, the Greek translation of the Old Testament.

  • Reliques of the Anglo-Saxon Churches of St. Bridget and St. Hildeburga, West Kirby, Cheshire
    RELIQUES OF THE ANGLO-SAXON CHURCHES OF ST. BRIDGET AND ST. HILDEBURGA, WEST KIRKBY, CHESHIRE. By Henry Ecroyd Smith. (BEAD IST DEOBMBEB, 1870.) THE Parish of West Kirkby (now West Kirby), lying 18 miles N.W. of Chester city, is one of the most important in the hundred of Wirral, and occupies the whole of its north­ western angle. Dr. Ormerod describes its first quarter as comprising the townships of West Kirkby and Newton-cum- Larton, with that of Grange, Great Caldey or Caldey Grange ; second, the townships of Frankby and Greasby ; third, those of Great and Little Meols, with Hoose ; fourth, the township of Little Caldey.* Originally Kirklye, or, settlement at the Church, it became " West Kirkby," to distinguish it from "Kirkby-in-Walley," at the opposite corner of the peninsula of Wirral, now com­ monly known as Wallasey. Each of these extensive parishes possessed two Churches, those of Wallasey lying the one in Kirkby-in-Walley, the other on the Leasowes and near the sea, which ultimately destroyed it and engulphed the site together with that of its burial-ground. For further informa­ tion on this head, Bishop Gastrell's " Notitia," Dr. Ormerod's " History of the County,"\ and Lyson's " Cheshire,"% may be consulted. Gastrell's Notitia. The last now simply bears the name of Caldy. t II, 360. Heading of Moretou. { Page 807. 14 The Churches of West Kirkby were situate, the parish Church at the town proper, the other, a Chapel of Ease, upon Saint Hildeburgh's Eye, i.e., the island of St. Hildeburga, which had become insulated through the same potent influence which had wrecked the Chapel, as Bishop Gastrell calls it, upon the Leasowe shore.

Goldfrank This essay originated at the time that ASEC was in its early stages and in response to a requestthat I write something aboutthe church Fathers in medieval Rus'. I already knew finding the patrology concerning just the original Greek and Syriac texts is nothing short of a researcher’s black hole. Given all the complexities in­ volved in the manuscript traditions associated with such superstar names as Basil of Caesarea, Ephrem the Syrian, John Chrysostom, and Macarius of wherever (no kidding), to name a few1 and all of The author would like to thank the staffs of the Hilandar Research Library at The Ohio State University and, of course, the monks of Hilandar Monastery for encouraging the microfilming of the Hilandar Slavic manuscripts by Ohio State. I thank the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection; and Georgetown University’s Woodstock Theological Library as well as its Lauinger Library Reference Room for their kind help. Georgetown University’s Office of the Provost and Center for Eurasian, East European and Russian Studies provided summer research support. Thanks also to Jennifer Spock and Donald Ostrowski for their wise suggestions. 1 An excellent example of this is Plested, Macarian Legacy.

    Prayer Guide APRIL 2020 Prayers To Learn In April The Jesus Prayer Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. An Act of Spiritual Communion My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen. The Memorare Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Saints To Get To Know In April St. John of the Cross Patronage: Contemplative Life, Mystics Feast Day: December 14 Quote: “Strive to preserve your heart in peace; let no event of this world disturb it.” Living Flame of Love by St. John of the Cross O living flame of love that tenderly wounds my soul in its deepest center! Since now you are not oppressive, now consummate! if it be your will: tear through the veil of this sweet encounter! O sweet cautery, O delightful wound! O gentle hand! O delicate touch that tastes of eternal life and pays every debt! In killing you changed death to life.

  • Green Pilgrim City Theological Message Pilgrimage in the Coptic
    Green Pilgrim City Theological Message Pilgrimage in the Coptic Church Since its establishment in the first century, the Coptic Orthodox Church has existed in Egypt and has as one of its principal pillars a movement and way of life that commenced in her deserts and wildernesses and, from there, spread to the whole world. This phenomenon is, of course, the monastic movement that started in the deserts of Egypt in the third Century and still thrives across the country until today. Being central to the lives of many Christians in Egypt and abroad, the monasteries are frequented by pilgrims throughout the year, who reach their thousands on special feast days in the Coptic Calendar. The monasteries have always been essential for spiritual retreat, and in the current climate, have become visitors’ havens of reflection, contemplation and refuge in the midst of a bustling society embattled by historic political reform and the accompanying security and economic pressures Today, thousands of Coptic Christians from across Egypt and around the world make the journey to the monasteries to escape the constant noise of modern life and to share in the gentle silence of the wilderness that our desert fathers and mothers have lived for centuries, experiencing the words of our Creator Himself Who says “be still and know that I am God” (Psalms46:10). These pilgrims are also accompanied by many thousands of non-Coptic visitors throughout the year. The deserts, void of the heavy distractions of civilisation and unblemished by large secular settlements, have been the rich soil from which great wisdom has sprung forth.

  • The Place Names of Fife and Kinross
    1 n tllif G i* THE PLACE NAMES OF FIFE AND KINROSS THE PLACE NAMES OF FIFE AND KINROSS BY W. J. N. LIDDALL M.A. EDIN., B.A. LOND. , ADVOCATE EDINBURGH WILLIAM GREEN & SONS 1896 TO M. J. G. MACKAY, M.A., LL.D., Advocate, SHERIFF OF FIFE AND KINROSS, AN ACCOMPLISHED WORKER IN THE FIELD OF HISTORICAL RESEARCH. INTRODUCTION The following work has two objects in view. The first is to enable the general reader to acquire a knowledge of the significance of the names of places around him—names he is daily using. A greater interest is popularly taken in this subject than is apt to be supposed, and excellent proof of this is afforded by the existence of the strange corruptions which place names are wont to assume by reason of the effort on the part of people to give some meaning to words otherwise unintelligible to them. The other object of the book is to place the results of the writer's research at the disposal of students of the same subject, or of those sciences, such as history, to which it may be auxiliary. The indisputable conclusion to which an analysis of Fife—and Kinross for this purpose may be considered a Fife— part of place names conducts is, that the nomen- clature of the county may be described as purely of Goidelic origin, that is to say, as belonging to the Irish branch of the Celtic dialects, and as perfectly free from Brythonic admixture. There are a few names of Teutonic origin, but these are, so to speak, accidental to the topography of Fife.
