Encomium on the Beheading of the Great Forerunner

Saint Theodore the Studite   Dear God-fearing Christians, the feast which we have gathered here to celebrate together today is radiant and filled with divine joy. It is rightly called radiant because it shines from the very name of him whom we are honouring today, since he is called the Read more…

Geronda in Hawaii (Miracles of Saint Joseph the Hesychast)

Saint Martyr Fanourios

W.J. Lillie   We have nothing to say with certainty about the famous martyr of Christ, Fanourios, as regards where he came from, who his parents were and when his martyrdom occurred, because all information has been lost to the depredations of time and covered by the tombstone of oblivion.

The respect shown by the faithful to Our Most Holy Lady, the Mother of God

Saint Nectarios of Pentapolis   The degree of respect, honor and love shown towards the Mother of God by the faithful is second only to that shown to God. The respect for the Mother of God dates back to the 1st and 2nd centuries and was decreed by Scripture itself which mentions Read more…

On sudden death

Archimandrite Ephraim, Abbot of the Vatopaidi Monastery   Nowadays when science and technology are flying, when cultures converge and there is a crisis in values, even the word ‘death’ is avoided and anything reminiscent of it is ignored and discarded.

Discourse on Love

Archimandrite Georgios Kapsanis, Abbot of the Holy Monastery of Gregoriou †   Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ handed down to us the perfect teaching on salvation. And he himself was the first to implement what he taught. It is he who ‘practices and teaches’ (Matth. 5, 19). He also Read more…

Did Our Lady give birth to God? Was God born of a woman?

Iraklis Filios   Saint Cyril of Alexandria wrote that the Mother of God sanctified the Holy Trinity! At first sight this is a scandalous statement. How could a human being sanctify the Holy Trinity?

The Holy Dormition of our Most Pure Lady, the Mother of God and Ever-Virgin Mary

Saint Gregory Palamas   If ‘the death of the saints is precious and the memory of the righteous is blessed’, with how much greater praise should we keep the memory of the ‘saint of the saints’ through whom the whole of sanctity came to them, that is the memory of Read more…
