The Firstborn From the Dead

- May 6, 2013

By Metropolitan Hierotheos of Nafpaktos The Resurrection of Christ, the premier event in the mystery of the divine economy, gives us each year the opportunity to delve into this event and little by little to engage the mystery of the Resurrection with our own resurrection. Besides, this is the purpose for the establishment of the annual festive cycle of Pascha. In the joy of the Resurrection of Christ we should be reminded that Christ in Holy Scripture and devotional texts is characterized…

''The Passion of Christ":An Orthodox Perspective

- May 3, 2013

By Metropolitan Hierotheos of Nafpaktos On occasion films are created that display the Cross and Passion of Christ as their content, in order to move Christians in regards to these great events. We see this also in our days with the new movie about the Passion of Christ titled The Passion of the Christ, directed by Mel Gibson. The Orthodox Church does not give much importance to such screenings for serious theological reasons. We will identify primarily three reasons. The first reason…

The Central Message of Holy Wednesday

- May 1, 2013 - 1 comment

In the Gospel and hymns of the Church for Holy Wednesday, we hear about the sinful woman who broke an alabaster box of costly ointment, wept at Jesus’ feet, and dried them with her hair. She broke the box – i.e. saved nothing for herself – and poured it out as her offering. It cost 300 denari, which was 300 days’ wages! This latter fact enrages the disciple who sits in a place of honor next to Jesus and manages the money - the notorious Judas. The hymns of Holy Week tell us even more abou…

Holy Week And Pascha on Mount Athos

- April 30, 2013 - 5 comments

Mount Athos has a somber and completely spiritual atmosphere during Holy Week. Visitors to the Holy Mountain during this time find themselves in a completely different world from what they are used to in the world. It is a monastic life which especially at this time focuses on the last days of Jesus according to the lived experience of 2,000 years of authentic Christianity. One cannot escape being reminded of this and making it a lived reality in their own lives. The Athonite fathers o…

Hey Hipster Christians...let me help you out

Hipster Christians, I'm going to help you out. I see you are grasping at something, trying to find the ironic Church of your dreams, where men can grow beards of foolish proportions and women can dress like their grannies' grannies, a place where scarves are worn in every unfashionable fashion imaginable, a place where people do shots and eat hummus at community gatherings, enjoy rooms filled with a fog of incense and prefer to read books that pre-date industrialisation. I would like t…

Third Sunday of Lent: Veneration of the Precious and Holy Cross

- April 14, 2013

Since through the forty-day Fast we are also crucified in a certain way, deadened as we are by the passions, and feel a sense of bitterness, so that we become exhausted and fall down, for this reason the Precious and Life-giving Cross is set forth, to refresh and strengthen us, and to remind us of the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ. It exhorts us with this thought: If our God was crucified for us, how much ought we to do for Him! It lightens our burdens by comparing them with the afflic…

Der Student, dem Gott durch Gerontas Paissios begegnete

- April 6, 2013 - 2 comments

Vor etlichen Jahren kam ein junger Student zu mir. Überaus zögernd und zugleich mit der Intensität des anspruchsvoll Suchenden erklärte er mir, er sei ein Atheist, der aber sehr gern glauben möchte, es aber nicht könne. Seit Jahren sei er auf der Suche und versuche es, aber ohne Ergebnis. Er habe mit Professoren und gebildeten Leuten gesprochen, aber sein Durst nach etwas Grundlegendem sei nicht gestillt worden. Er habe von mir gehört und beschlossen, mir seine existentielle Not anzuvert…

TOP Lied...ich liebe es... Nur weil wer auf germanische Mythologie abfährt heisst das noch lange nicht das er ein Nazi ist, schliesst es zwar nicht aus ist aber auch keine Garantie. Kann heute ja keiner was dafür das die NSDAP die Mythenwelt von mehreren Kulturen für sich zusammengeklaut hat.

St.Gregory Palamas and the Second Sunday of Great lent

- April 1, 2013

B y Sergei V. Bulgakov The Holy Church calls the second Sunday of Great Lent the Sunday of the Light-Creating Fasts. In its Divine services, in line with the destruction of the sinful condition of man, it is descriptively and touchingly represented in the church hymns, which explains the Gospel parable about the Prodigal son, and praises the fast as a means to the beneficial inner light, and posits in this glorification a new impulse for the ascetic effort of the fast. The Orthodox te…

The Church: A Great Hospital

- April 1, 2013

By Maria Mourza The Fathers say that the Church is a great Hospital which is in operation around the clock for the past two thousand years. A Hospital that operates for all. For the insured and uninsured. For the rich and for the poor. For the known and unknown and for people who are marginalized. A great Hospital which treats each disease no matter how deep, how infectious, and how deadly it is.…
