BRIGHT WEEK This is what we call the week following the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. This week begins a period of celebration that continues for fty days until Pentecost. Have you ever noticed that we don’t kneel in church during this period? On Pentecost (50 days after Easter) we celebrate the Sunday of Pentecost, which is a very important day for the Orthodox church year. There are a series of prayers that are read called the Kneeling Prayers. They help teach us how to pray to the Holy Trinity. Though we celebrate the resurrection everyday as Christians, Pentecost marks the end of the Pascha celebration. After this Sunday, we begin kneeling again in church. Click here to print up your own copy of the Kneeling Prayers for Pentecost Holy Father Nikephoros the Hesychast Holy Father Nikephoros the Hesychast (14th c. ) Nikephoros the Hesychast, was once a Roman Catholic, but he converted to Orthodoxy and lived in asceticism on the Holy Mountain. He was the spiritual father of Gregory Palamas and lived an uneventful yet peaceful life as a monk. He left a description of the hesychast’s path. A hesychast is a monastic who seeks divine quietness through contemplation of God in uninter- rupted prayers. This type of prayer involves the entire human being-soul, mind and body. Such prayer is often referred to as pure or intellectual, such as the Jesus Prayer. He left these words, “Gather your mind and compel it to enter into your heart and remain there. When your mind is rmly in your heart, it must not remain empty, but must incessantly make the prayer: ‘Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me!’ And it must never fall silent. Through this the whole string of the virtues: love, joy, peace and the others, will make their abode in you, by which, then, every request of yours to God will be fullled.” lOur Righteous Father Arsenios the Great He is one of the most honored Desert Fathers. He used to be a deacon and was a courtier, which is someone who served as an advisor to royality in Constantinople. All these things changed for him one day when he heard a voice saying, “Arsenios, ee from men, and thou shalt be saved.” He left the capital in secret and sailed to Alexandria where he ended up in the Egyptian dessert where he became a monk. For years he was the disciple of St. John the Dwarf, until one day he heard a voice again. “Arse- nios, ee, be silent, pray always, for these are the causes of sinning not.” So, he onced again abruptly and secretly left his brother monks and lived his life as a hermit. It is said he used to turn his back to the sun as it would set, raise his hands in prayer and would pray without sitting down until the sun would rise again on the next day. One monk went to visit him and while Arseniosl was in prayer, his entire body was glowing like a ame. SAint EmmeliA Long ago Emmelia met a pious man, Basil, who was the son of Macrina the Elder, who became a saint. Emmelia and Basil eventually decided to get married. They were blessed with 10 children, 5 of them became saints. Because of this Saint Emmelia is often referred to as the Mother of Saints. Their names are Saint Basil the Great, Saint Gregory of Nyssa, Saint Peter of Sebaste, Saint Macrina and Saint Theosebia. The children grew up loving each other very much, never ghting and living their lives in Christ as their parents did. Not long after the youngest child was born, Emmelia’s husband, Basil the Elder passed away. At the age of 27, her son Naucratios died. Emmelia was very sad, but she was comforted by her daughter Macrina. She told her that it is not tting for a Christian to mourn in such a way. That as a Christian, she needs to remember the Resurrection of Christ and his victory over Death. She saw that her daughter was right, and she led a life of prayer and charity helping those who were in need and sick all while holding on to the good memories of her son. Emmelia and Macrina went to Pontos and built a convent where they were joined by other women and lived their lives tending to the land, praying and fasting. She reposed peacefully years later. Saint Macrina the Elder Saint Macrina the Elder, the Mother-in-law to Saint Emmelia and the Grandmother of Saint Basil the Great. "The grandmother of St Basil the Great, she was outstanding for her intellect and piety. She was a disciple of St Gregory the Wonder-worker of Neocaesarea. In the reign of Diocletian, she abandoned her home and hid in the forests and desert places with her husband, Basil. Although their home was conscated, they felt no pangs of regret. Stripped of everything except their love for God, they settled in an ancient forest and spent seven years there. By God's providence, goats would come down from the mountains and provide them with food. They both died peacefully in the fourth century, after great suerings for the Christian faith." (Prologue from Ochrid) l Apostle Hermas of the Seventy He was a wealthy man who had fallen into poverty. He was visited by a man wearing all white and was holding a sta. He told Hermas that he was an angel of repentance and he left the saint with 12 commandments: 1. To believe in God 2. To live in simplicity and innocence 3. To love truth and ee from falsehood 4. To guard his thoughts in chastity 5. To learn patience and magnanimity of soul 6. To know that a good and an evil spirit attend every man 7. To fear God, but not the devil 8. To perform every good deed and to restrain himself from every evil one 9. To pray to God in faith from the depths of his heart, so that his prayer might be heard 10. To preserve himself from melancholy, the daughter of doubt, and from anger 11. To try true and false prophecies. 12. To preserve himself from every evil desire. Let us all try holding this commandments close to our hearts as Saint Hermas did. Getting crafty! Repurpose those popsicle sticks this summer! Check out these Easy, fun and cute crafts! click here!

  • Handel's Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment By
    Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment by Jonathan Rhodes Lee A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Emeritus John H. Roberts Professor George Haggerty, UC Riverside Professor Kevis Goodman Fall 2013 Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment Copyright 2013 by Jonathan Rhodes Lee ABSTRACT Virtue Rewarded: Handel’s Oratorios and the Culture of Sentiment by Jonathan Rhodes Lee Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Davitt Moroney, Chair Throughout the 1740s and early 1750s, Handel produced a dozen dramatic oratorios. These works and the people involved in their creation were part of a widespread culture of sentiment. This term encompasses the philosophers who praised an innate “moral sense,” the novelists who aimed to train morality by reducing audiences to tears, and the playwrights who sought (as Colley Cibber put it) to promote “the Interest and Honour of Virtue.” The oratorio, with its English libretti, moralizing lessons, and music that exerted profound effects on the sensibility of the British public, was the ideal vehicle for writers of sentimental persuasions. My dissertation explores how the pervasive sentimentalism in England, reaching first maturity right when Handel committed himself to the oratorio, influenced his last masterpieces as much as it did other artistic products of the mid- eighteenth century. When searching for relationships between music and sentimentalism, historians have logically started with literary influences, from direct transferences, such as operatic settings of Samuel Richardson’s Pamela, to indirect ones, such as the model that the Pamela character served for the Ninas, Cecchinas, and other garden girls of late eighteenth-century opera.

  • Synopsis the Action Is Set in Roman-Occupied Antioch in The
    Synopsis The action is set in Roman-occupied Antioch in the early 4th century, and opens with a decree given by the President and Governor, Valens. In honour of the Emperor Diocletian’s birthday, all citizens shall offer sacrifice to the Roman goddesses Venus and Flora, or be severely punished. Valens gives his officer Septimius responsibility for ensuring general compliance. The chorus of Romans cheerfully endorses the decree, but a junior Roman officer, Didymus, asks that loyal citizens whose consciences prevent them from obeying may be spared punishment. Valens responds with yet fiercer threats of reprisal, and the chorus relishes the prospect of the recusants’ suffering. Alone with Septimius, Didymus condemns persecution and speaks out for freedom of belief. Septimius, clearly suspecting Didymus’ Christianity, affirms his own loyalty to Roman rule but appeals to the spirit of pity to instil universal tolerance. The scene changes to a meeting of the persecuted Christian community. Theodora, Princess of Antioch, and her friend Irene lead their fellow believers in renouncing worldly ambition and greed and in sharing their gratitude for the strength of their belief. A messenger interrupts them with news of Valens’ decree. The Christians are about to disperse in panic, but Irene rallies them with a magnificent statement of hope, and they re-affirm their faith. Septimius comes to arrest them, but tries first to warn them of the seriousness of their predicament. Theodora speaks out in defence of Christianity, knowing she is risking her life, but Septimius has to tell her that her punishment is not death but enforced prostitution until she recants.

  • Comprehending Theodora
    Eighteenth-Century Music 2/1, 57–90 © 2005 Cambridge University Press doi:10.1017/S1478570605000254 Printed in the United Kingdom comprehending theodora ruth smith ABSTRACT Handel’s Theodora (1750, libretto Thomas Morell), an oratorio about a Christian martyr, does not have the religious-political import of his other English oratorios or the literary-critical stature of his English secular dramas and odes. A ‘sport’ among Handel’s oratorios, until recently Theodora resisted whole-hearted appreciation and elicited widely differing summaries of its meaning. This is the first extended study to be published since the chapter in Winton Dean’s Handel’s Dramatic Oratorios and Masques of 1959. Drawing on guidelines proposed in the appendix ‘Approaches to Oratorio’, the article examines the libretto’s sources, dramatization and relation to the librettist’s interests; positions the work with regard to the religious ideas of its time, identifying its religious- historical standpoint; and describes its kinship with contemporary drama, fiction and aesthetics. Connoisseurs among Handel’s audience appreciated Theodora but ‘the Town’ did not. It is suggested that both Morell and Handel were aiming for inclusiveness, comprehensiveness and breadth of appeal, and in so doing produced a work – more ambiguous and conspicuously open to interpretation than the biblical oratorios – that demands the listener’s active and discriminating engagement. I can’t conclude a letter, and forget Theodora. I have heard it three times, and venture to pronounce it, as finished, beautiful and labour’d a composition, as ever Handel made. To my knowledge this took him up a great while in composing. The Town don’t like it at all; but Mr Kellaway and several excellent musicians think as I do.
