Saints Celebrated Today

These Saints lived during the years of Diocletian. Saint Cyrus was from Alexandria, and Saint John was from Edessa of Mesopotamia. Because of the persecution of that time, Cyrus fled to the Gulf of Arabia, where there was a small community of monks. John, who was a soldier, heard of Cyrus' to continue click here

By their life and teachings, our righteous Fathers Sergius and Herman did much to spread and confirm Orthodoxy among the Karelian Finns, who had suffered much oppression at the hands of Swedes of the Latin creed. They founded on Lake Ladoga the renowned Monastery of Valaam, which later became one of the chief centers of the monastic life. Both Saints reposed about 1353.

Main Sermon 6/21/26

On the third Sunday of June our Nation celebrates Father's Day. Many may celebrate it with BBQ's, enjoying the day with loved ones, remembering those who have fallen asleep, but there is something important HOW the day should begin!

Did you ever wonder why this day, Mother's Day, the changing of the clocks all happy on a Sunday and not another day of the week?

And what is the GREATEST title any man can be given on earth?

Main Sermon 6/14/26

As Jesus walks along the Sea of Galilee, He sees Peter and Andrew casting their nets into the sea and then sees James and John mending their nets with their father. To each of them He extends the same call: "Follow Me." What is remarkable is how they respond. The Gospel tells us that they immediately left their nets and followed Him. No excuses. No delays.

The same can be said about the Saints we celebrate today, Prophet Elisha and St. Methodios Pat. of Constantinople.

+PROSPHORO+

Bread has been the emblem of God’s providence for us, throughout humanity’s history. Both physical (bread as food) and spiritual - the επιούσιον (epiousion) or “supersubstantial” bread of the Lord’s prayer, the bread of Holy Communion.

In the Orthodox Christian church, the pinnacle of our worship is union with Christ, both spiritually but also physically, by consuming the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Since the Last Supper, before every Divine Liturgy, one or more of the faithful prepare and bring bread to church to be used as the Body of Christ in the Eucharist. The Orthodox church is liturgical. For those of us who bake prosphoro, the liturgy begins as we prepare to bake!

Prosphoro is an offering to God, made from His material gifts to us, and prepared lovingly and prayerfully.

A special website is available to share with the faithful this ‘proper’ method of preparation of the holy gift according to the Greek Orthodox tradition. Please click here to learn how to bake this beautiful offering.
