THE SAINT SPYRIDON VOICE APRIL 2020 Saint Spyridon Greek Orthodox Church P.O THE SAINT SPYRIDON VOICE APRIL 2020 Saint Spyridon Greek Orthodox Church P.O. Box 427 Newport, RI 02840 tel: (401) 846 -0555 www.stspyridonchurch.org Livestreamed Services: Beloved Brothers and Sisters in the Lord, I won’t hide from you my great disappointment that we April 12th will not be together in the flesh to commemorate and re- Palm Sunday live the life-giving and saving Passion and Resurrection of our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ, as we April 12th - 14th normally do for Holy Week and Easter. Is there any Bridegroom Services more beautiful experience in the world than Holy Week April 15th and Easter in the Orthodox Church? However, as you can see in the following communique from the Holy Holy Unction Service Synod, due to the ongoing coronavirus crisis, the only April 16th ones allowed in the church for these services are the Liturgy Commemorating priest, chanter, and one acolyte. Everyone else will need to observe the days at home. It will not be the same. It the Mystical Supper will be a very different kind of Pascha. 12 Gospels Service Nonetheless, this can be a uniquely beautiful Holy Week April 17th and Pascha. In some churches there has been more Royal Hours liturgical participation, not less, with people restricted to their homes. People in separate locations are using Un-Nailing Service technology to offer readings and chanting that all blend Lamentations together in one service, making for an unusual but beautiful and spiritual worship experience that is also April 18th live streamed for more people to enjoy. When Holy Saturday Liturgy congregational attendance is not allowed, you can April 19th always view our parish’s services on our website. Great and Holy Pascha As much as possible, let’s do these Holy Week services together, even though we are each in our own homes. I PAGE 2 THE SAINT SPYRIDON VOICE hereby invite you - YES, YOU - everyone in our church family - to take a turn reading a psalm or other reading in the holy week services. You can sign up for these by messaging me ([email protected]) and Nicholas Gvosdev ([email protected]). Every Orthodox Christian home is a church! That is a profound and sacred reality. The Christian home is a dwelling place of God, because he dwells in each of us, and in our home we live out the “sacrament” of daily life. Through the coronavirus crisis, God is inviting us to build up our home-churches. The power of the home church was revealed to Presvytera Amelia and me, one year when - We missed the Holy Light! We had always experienced this service at midnight, and it didn’t occur to us that the parish we were attending at the time celebrated Anastasi and the sharing of the light before midnight! When we entered the church in our fresh Pascha suits and dresses and Pascha candles, it was well after the priest had emerged from the altar and sung “Come and receive light…” We didn’t even hear the first singing of Christ is Risen. We were crest-fallen. We stayed for the Liturgy and received Holy Communion, but something was missing. When we got home, I had an inspiration. I disappeared upstairs and then descended to the living room with a lit Pascha candle chanting “Come and receive light from the unwaning light, and glorify Christ, Who is Risen from the dead.” The light was passed to Presvytera’s and all the children’s candles and we sang “Christ is Risen” with joyful smiles and the light of Christ’s Resurrection shining in our eyes. I encourage each of you to approach this Holy Week even more passionately than usual. The links to the texts will be emailed out each day, so you can follow along during the live streaming or read them on your own. Pray the services; stand up for the Gospel, the Crede, the Our Father; whenever you would stand in Church. Spruce up the icon corner in your living room. Create an icon corner if you don’t have one. Tidy that room ahead of each service. Place the tablet or phone with the live stream directly in the icon corner. The sights and smells of church can be brought to your home to remind you of the feeling of being in church. Get candles and light them, placing them in a bowl of rice or sand as you enter the worship space in your home. If you have incense, use it. If you don’t, all you need is charcoal, a hand censer (or a small ceramic bowl lined with aluminum foil) and incense. These can be ordered and arrive via UPS in three days from: store.ancientfaith.com, and many other sources. Create an oil lamp from a glass jar with water at the bottom and olive oil on top of the water. A float with wicks that are easily replaced comes in a pack together for five dollars from the same online sources. Within this edition of the St. Spyridon Voice you will find several articles on observing Holy Week and Easter at home. Please check our church website for more ideas, links and articles. APRIL 2020 PAGE 3 Will we experience these services as a uniquely memorable and blessed Holy Week or just a big bummer? That will depend on what we do to invite the Holy Spirit into our home- church this Holy Week. May the Lord strengthen our faith to sing and proclaim joyfully … Christ is Risen - Truly He is Risen! Хрістос воскрес! Воістину воскрес! ¡Cristo ha resucitado, verdaderamente ha resucitado! Hristos a inviat! Adevărat a înviat! Χριστός Ανέστη - Αληθώς Ανέστη! HOLY EPARCHIAL SYNOD COMMUNIQUE NEW YORK – On Monday, April 6, 2020, the Holy Eparchial Synod convened, via tele- conference, in order to discuss significant matters that affect the Archdiocese of America, and unanimously decided the following: 1. The sacred services of our Orthodox tradition for Holy Week and Easter will continue to be observed in the Parishes and the Monasteries following the directives of the local Metropolitans and in accordance to the mandates of the respective State and Health authorities. Therefore, the “closed-doors” policy will be strictly enforced, the services will be broadcasted via the internet and they will be celebrated only with the participa- tion of the priest, the chanter, and the acolyte. 2. Abiding by the regulations of the aforementioned State and Health authorities, there will be absolutely no distribution of the traditional material offerings to the faithful, including palms, candles, Holy Unction, flowers, eggs and the Paschal Light. 3. Spiritual guidance may be provided remotely using technological means, but the Sac- rament of Holy Confession and the Prayer of Absolution cannot be offered via the tele- phone or via electronic media. 4. This year’s National Clergy-Laity Congress will be held through an internet telecon- ference forum on a date to be announced in the near future.

  • Proverbs and Rare Words in the Lives of the Saints, According to the Metaphrastic Menologion (Interdisciplinary Approach)
    The 2016 WEI International Academic Conference Proceedings Vienna, Austria PROVERBS AND RARE WORDS IN THE LIVES OF THE SAINTS, ACCORDING TO THE METAPHRASTIC MENOLOGION (INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH) Emmanouil Doundoulakis, Assistant Professor Patriarchal University Ecclesiastical Academy of Crete Heraklion Crete - Greece Abstract This paper aims to approach and examine the proverbs and rare words which are mentioned in the Lives of Saints in the Metaphrastic Menologion of 10th century, which contains 148 texts. It is important to note that the Metaphrastic Menologion is not only a Hagiographical text related to Religion, but also an informative manual for the social life, cultural customs and Linguistic issues of the era. The paper focuses on the linguistic dimension, the rare words as well as the proverbs which are mentioned in it. The majority of relevant past papers try to find the intertextuality between the Metaphrastic Menologion and other hagiographical texts which are considered to be chronologically close. But only few emphasize on the case that some phrases and words were taken from texts both ecclesiastical and of ancient Greek literature, from a long time ago. Our intention is to compare the different uses of some words, and phrases in the Lives of the Saints. Some of them are used only once, either in the Ancient or Religious Literature, while others have been mentioned in texts, many centuries ago. Their sources either in Ancient Greek Literature or in other previous Ecclesiastical texts are also revealed by this paper. Some examples are also given in order to have a clear view on how we could use these texts in classrooms.

  • East and West: Cultural Dissonance and the “Great Schism of 1054”
    1 East and West: Cultural Dissonance and the “Great Schism of 1054” Margaret Trenchard-Smith, Loyola Marymount University Perception is an overwhelming force. Collective perceptions can be contra-factual. The memories of individuals, of institutions, often magnify the inconsequential, distort or omit. A failure of memory can be total, through accident or deliberate oblivion. Shared recollections and the narratives they form shape perceptions. Yet even when these things are faulty, they can have as much force as if they were sound—just as the effects of a rumor can be as damaging when false as when founded in fact.1 The “Great Schism of 1054” is perceived by many to be the momentous event that resulted in the permanent sundering of the “Western” Roman Catholic and “Eastern” Orthodox branches of Christendom.2 Factually, however, there is a problem with this perception, since it can plausibly be argued on technical and practical grounds (and has been argued by scholars like Francis Dvornik and Steven Runciman) that no schism occurred in 1054—certainly not the “Great Schism.”3 The perception of schism came about through cultural dissonance and alienation East and West which grew until at last the divorce became reality. When precisely that happened, however, is unclear. If not in 1054, when did the formal schism of the Great Church occur? Did it occur? From whose perspective, and by what criteria? There is no scholarly consensus on these questions.4 Please bear in mind that this paper has been written by an historian, not a theologian. These

  • Holy Week Folder 2020
    Dear Annunciation Family, We have been preparing for weeks for the most sacred time of year, Holy Week and Pascha. We have fasted, given to those in need, and increased our prayer life. However due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we are left feeling anxious, fearful for the health of our loved ones and ourselves, missing the sacramental life of our beloved church. We must know even in the midst of this pandemic, HOLY WEEK still happens! The RESURRECTION still happens! Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ tramples death by death for us to receive eternal life in His Heavenly Kingdom! This “Holy Week at Home Kit” may seem a little unorthodox but our hope it that it provides you and your family with all the tools necessary to still have an orthodox experience with the hope and love that is felt during this sacred week. This kit includes: • Holy Week Workbook with a summary of each day, notes about the icon, activities for you to do at home and coloring sheets for the littlest parishioners • Palms for Palm Sunday • Purple Egg with a Crown of Thorns (representation for Bridegroom) • Small Wooden Cross (representation for Thursday) • White Candle for Friday Lamentations and Resurrection Service • Bay Leaf (representation for Holy Saturday) Some other things that are not included in your kit but we encourage you to do during the week: • Setup a home altar or prayer corner to watch services together as a family • Use an oil lamp, light incense and/or a candle during services • Watch the LiveStream on Facebook or on Youtube • Use your Black Holy Week Book to Follow Along, if you do not have one you may find all the liturgical texts on AgesInitiative and we will post them daily with the services Let us open our minds, our hearts and our at home churches to the glorious Resurrection.

Jesus Christ left the Church a great promise: “I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:18). On this Seventh Sunday of Pascha, June 9, we commemorate the Holy Fathers of the First Ecumenical Council, convened in 325 AD by Emperor Constantine the Great. Participating in the Council were Saint Nicholas, Archbishop of Myra in Lycia, Saint Spyridon, Bishop of Tremithos, and others venerated by the Church as Holy Fathers. Most notable is that the Council composed the Creed, the Holy Symbol of Faith. They also decided the date for the celebration of Holy Pascha, that is, Pascha should not be celebrated by Christians on the same day as the Jewish Passover, but on the first Sunday after the first full moon of the vernal equinox. The icon of the Sunday of the Fathers of the First Ecumenical Council depicts Saint Constantine together with the Holy Fathers and Saints of the Church who attended the Council and affirmed Honoring All Women on Mother’s Day and the the unity of the Faith through the Creed.
