1 Epiphany - Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral Tarpon Springs, Florida + Sunday, November 13, 2016 St John Chrysostom, November 13

2 WEEKLY MESSAGE Beginning November 15 and lasting until the Feast of Christmas, the ancient Orthodox Christian Tradition invites us to a period of prayer and fasting to prepare to receive the Lord at Christmas. One tradition, often called the Sarantalitourgo, or Forty Liturgies, reinforces the emphasis on worship that makes us uniquely Orthodox. Most parishes in America, simply because of the national shortage of clergy, cannot dedicate time each day for Divine Liturgy. Fortunately, here at Saint Nicholas, Father Sampson and I are available to celebrate this ancient tradition this year in preparation for Christmas. Every day, beginning this Tuesday, November 15, and lasting until Christmas, a Divine Liturgy will take place in the Cathedral. It will be a beautiful opportunity for each of us to gather to receive Holy Communion on a daily basis. But worship alone is just part of the picture. The ancient Orthodox Christian tradition to prepare for Christmas includes a fasting period, sometimes called winter lent, as an offering to God. In a world that will spend the next six weeks shopping for gifts, we Orthodox are invited to pray and fast as a gift for God.

Resurrectional Apolytikion When the women Disciples of the Lord had learned from the Angel the joyful message of the Resurrection and had rejected the ancestral decision, they cried aloud to the Apostles triumphantly: Death has been despoiled, Christ God has risen, granting His great mercy to the world. Τοῦ Ἁγίου Ἡ τοῦ στόματός σου καθάπερ πυρσὸς ἐκλάμψασα χάρις, τὴν οίκουμένην ἐφώτισεν ἀφιλαργυρίας τῷ κόσμῳ θησαυροὺς ἐναπέθετο τὸ ὕψος ἡμῖν τῆς ταπεινοφροσύνης ὑπέδειξεν.

Of the Saint The grace that from your mouth shone forth like a torch illumined the universe. It deposited in the world the treasures of the absence of avarice. It showed us the height that is attained by humility. Now you instruct us by your words, Father John Chrysostom. Intercede with Christ God, the Word himself, entreating Him to save our souls. Apolytikion of St. Nicholas As rule of the faith and picture of gentleness, and teacher of temperance you were exhibited to your flock, by the truth of the evidence, Thus you acquired the lofty through humility, abundance through poverty. Father and Hierarch Nicholas, intercede with Christ our God, that our souls may be saved. Kontakion The Savior's most pure and immaculate temple, the very precious bridal chamber and Virgin, who is the sacred treasure of the glory of God, on this day is introduced into the House of the Lord, and with herself she brings the grace in the divine Spirit. She is extolled by the Angels of God. A heavenly tabernacle is she.

4 ΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΟΣ Πρὸς Ἑβραίους 7:26-28, 8:1-2 Ἀ δελφοί, τοιοῦτος ἡμῖν ἔπρεπεν ἀρχιερεύς, ὅσιος, ἄκακος, ἀμίαντος, κεχωρισμένος ἀπὸ τῶν ἁμαρτωλῶν καὶ ὑψηλότερος τῶν οὐρανῶν γενόμενος, ὃς οὐκ ἔχει καθ' ἡμέραν ἀνάγκην, ὥσπερ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς, πρότερον ὑπὲρ τῶν ἰδίων ἁμαρτιῶν θυσίας ἀναφέρειν, ἔπειτα τῶν τοῦ λαοῦ τοῦτο γὰρ ἐποίησεν ἐφάπαξ ἑαυτὸν ἀνενέγκας. Ὁ νόμος γὰρ ἀνθρώπους καθίστησιν ἀρχιερεῖς ἔχοντας ἀσθένειαν, ὁ λόγος δὲ τῆς ὁρκωμοσίας τῆς μετὰ τὸν νόμον υἱὸν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τετελειωμένον. Κεφάλαιον δὲ ἐπὶ τοῖς λεγομένοις, τοιοῦτον ἔχομεν ἀρχιερέα, ὃς ἐκάθισεν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ θρόνου τῆς μεγαλωσύνης ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, τῶν Αγίων λειτουργὸς καὶ τῆς σκηνῆς τῆς ἀληθινῆς, ἣν ἔπηξεν ὁ Κύριος, καὶ οὐκ ἄνθρωπος. ΕΥΑΓΓΕΛΙΟΝ Κατὰ Λουκᾶν ιʹ Τ ῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ, νομικός τις προσῆλθε τῷ Ἰησοῦ πειράζων αὐτὸν καὶ λέγων Διδάσκαλε, τί ποιήσας ζωὴν αἰώνιον κληρονομήσω; ὁ δὲ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν Ἐν τῷ νόμῳ τί γέγραπται; πῶς ἀναγινώσκεις; ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν Ἀγαπήσεις Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου ἐξ ὅλης τῆς καρδίας σου καὶ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς ψυχῆς σου καὶ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς ἰσχύος σου καὶ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς διανοίας σου, καὶ τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ Ὀρθῶς ἀπεκρίθης τοῦτο ποίει καὶ ζήσῃ. ὁ δὲ θέλων δικαιοῦν ἑαυτὸν εἶπε πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν Καὶ τίς ἐστί μου πλησίον; ὑπολαβὼν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν Ἄνθρωπός τις κατέβαινεν ἀπὸ Ἱερουσαλὴμ εἰς Ἰεριχὼ, καὶ λῃσταῖς περιέπεσεν οἳ καὶ ἐκδύσαντες αὐτὸν καὶ πληγὰς ἐπιθέντες ἀπῆλθον ἀφέντες ἡμιθανῆ τυγχάνοντα. κατὰ συγκυρίαν δὲ ἱερεύς τις κατέβαινεν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὸν ἀντιπαρῆλθεν. ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ Λευῒτης γενόμενος κατὰ τὸν τόπον, ἐλθὼν καὶ ἰδὼν ἀντιπαρῆλθε. Σαμαρείτης δέ τις ὁδεύων ἦλθε κατ' αὐτὸν, καὶ ἰδὼν αὐτὸν ἐσπλαγχνίσθη, καὶ προσελθὼν κατέδησε τὰ τραύματα αὐτοῦ ἐπιχέων ἔλαιον καὶ οἶνον, ἐπιβιβάσας δὲ αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ ἴδιον κτῆνος ἤγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς πανδοχεῖον καὶ ἐπεμελήθη αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν αὔριον ἐξελθὼν, ἐκβαλὼν δύο δηνάρια ἔδωκε τῷ πανδοχεῖ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ἐπιμελήθητι αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὅ, τι ἂν προσδαπανήσῃς, ἐγὼ ἐν τῷ ἐπανέρχεσθαί με ἀποδώσω σοι. τίς οὖν τούτων τῶν τριῶν πλησίον δοκεῖ σοι γεγονέναι τοῦ ἐμπεσόντος εἰς τοὺς λῃστάς; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν Ὁ ποιήσας τὸ ἔλεος μετ' αὐτοῦ. εἶπεν οὖν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς Πορεύου καὶ σὺ ποίει ὁμοίως. Η ΘΕΙΑ ΚΟΙΝΩΝΙΑ Η Θεία Κοινωνία είναι ένα από τα Μυστήρια της Ορθόδοξης Εκκλησίας και προσφέρεται αποκλειστικά σε βαπτισμένους ή/και χρισμένους Ορθόδοξους Χριστιανούς, οι οποίοι έχουν προετοιμαστεί να λάβουν το Σώμα και το Αίμα του Κυρίου ημών Ιησού Χριστού. Καθώς προσέρχεστε να κοινωνήσετε, σας παρακαλούμε να ακολουθείτε τις οδηγίες των Συμβούλων της Ενορίας και λοιπών ταξιθετών. Σας θυμίζουμε επίσης πως το Αντίδωρο προσφέρεται στο τέλος της Θείας Λειτουργίας και μπορούν να το λάβουν όλοι.

5 EPISTLE Hebrews 7:26-28, 8:1-2 B rethren, it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, blameless, unstained, separated from sinners, exalted above the heavens. He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people; he did this once for all when he offered up himself. Indeed, the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect for ever. Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, a minister in the sanctuary and the true tent which is set up not by man but by the Lord. GOSPEL Luke 10:25-37 A t that time, a lawyer stood up to put Jesus to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read?" And he answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself." And he said to him, "You have answered right; do this, and you will live." But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion, and went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; then he set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.' Which of these three, do you think, proved neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?" He said, "The one who showed mercy on him." And Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise." HOLY EUCHARIST (HOLY COMMUNION) Holy Communion is a Sacrament within the Orthodox Church and is only offered to Baptized and/or Chrismated Orthodox Christians who have prepared themselves to receive the Body and Blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As you come to receive, please follow the direction of the Parish Council Members, Ushers, and Acolytes. We remind everyone that the Blessed Bread (Antidoron) offered at the end of the Divine Liturgy may be received by all.

6 Saints and Feasts of the Week MATTHEW THE APOSTLE & EVANGELIST This Apostle, who was also called Levi, was the son of Alphaeus and had Galilee as his homeland. A publican before being called by Christ, he became one of the Twelve Apostles, and an Evangelist. While still in Palestine, he wrote his Gospel first in Hebrew, being also the first of all to write the Gospel. Often when he is depicted in icons, there is portrayed next to him the likeness of a man, one of the symbolic living creatures mentioned by Ezekiel (1.10), which, as Saint Irenaeus writes, is a symbol of our Savior's Incarnation. ΑΓΙΟΣ ΜΑΤΘΑΙΟΣ ΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΟΣ ΚΑΙ ΕΥΑΓΓΕΛΙΣΤΗΣ Ο Απόστολος και Ευαγγελιστής Ματθαίος, πριν γίνει μαθητής του Κυρίου Ιησού Χριστού, ονομαζόταν Λευίς. Ο πατέρας του λεγόταν Αλφαίος και ήταν από τη Γαλιλαία. Ο Ματθαίος έκανε το επάγγελμα του τελώνη, και ο Ιησούς τον βρήκε να κάθεται στο τελωνείο έξω από την Καπερναούμ. Και είπε προς αυτόν: «Ἀκολούθει μοι». Ο Ματθαίος, χωρίς καμιά καθυστέρηση, αμέσως τον ακολούθησε. Και όχι μόνο εγκατέλειψε το αμαρτωλό - για την εποχή εκείνη - επάγγελμα του τελώνη, αλλά και με χαρά φιλοξένησε τον Κύριο στο σπίτι του. Εκεί, μάλιστα, ήλθαν και πολλοί τελώνες και άλλοι αμαρτωλοί άνθρωποι, με τους οποίους ο Ιησούς συνέφαγε και συζήτησε. Οι φαρισαίοι, όμως, που είχαν πωρωμένη συνείδηση, όταν είδαν αυτή την ενέργεια του Κυρίου, αμέσως τον κατηγόρησαν ότι συντρώγει με τελώνες και αμαρτωλούς. Ο Ιησούς το άκουσε και είπε εκείνα τα θαυμάσια λόγια: «Οὐ γὰρ ἦλθον καλέσαι δικαίους, ἀλλὰ ἁμαρτωλοὺς εἰς μετάνοιαν» (Ματθαίου, θ' 13). Δηλαδή, λέει ο Κύριος, δεν ήλθα για να καλέσω εκείνους που νομίζουν τους εαυτούς τους δίκαιους, αλλά ήλθα να καλέσω τους αμαρτωλούς, για να μετανοήσουν και να σωθούν. Στο Ματθαίο οφείλει η Εκκλησία μας το πρώτο κατά σειρά στην Καινή Διαθήκη Ευαγγέλιο, που γράφτηκε το 64. Ο Ματθαίος κατά την παράδοση κήρυξε το Ευαγγέλιο στην Αιθιοπία, όπου και πέθανε μαρτυρικά. PHILIP THE APOSTLE This Apostle, one of the Twelve, was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and was a compatriot of Andrew and Peter. He was instructed in the teachings of the Law, and devoted himself to the study of the prophetic books. Therefore, when the Lord Jesus called him to the dignity of apostleship, he immediately sought out and found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found Him of Whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph" (John 1.45). Having preached Jesus the God-man throughout many parts of Asia Minor, and having suffered much for His Name's sake, he was finally crucified upside down in Phrygia. ΑΠΟΣΤΟΛΟΣ ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΣ Ο Άγιος Φίλιππος ήταν ένας από τους δώδεκα μαθητές του Κυρίου. Καταγόταν από τη Βηθσαϊδά της Γαλιλαίας, απ' όπου και ο Ανδρέας με τον Πέτρο. Τον κάλεσε μαθητή Του ο ίδιος ο Κύριος, και κατόπιν ο Φίλιππος έφερε στον Κύριο το Ναθαναήλ. Η παράδοση αναφέρει ότι ο Φίλιππος κήρυξε το Ευαγγέλιο στους Πάρθους και πέθανε μαρτυρικά στην Ιεράπολη της Συρίας. Το σεπτό σκήνωμά του για πολλά χρόνια στόλισε τον ιερό ναό που είχε κτισθεί στην Ιεράπολη προς τιμή του. Η δε αγία κάρα του τιμήθηκε από διάφορους αυτοκράτορες, όπως τον Θεοδόσιο, τον Ηράκλειο και άλλους με τις βασιλικές σφραγίδες τους. Μετά την άλωση της Βασιλίδος των πόλεων από τους Λατίνους κατά το 1204, το σεπτό λείψανο μεταφέρθηκε στην Κύπρο και για πολλά χρόνια φυλασσόταν στο χωριό Άρσος (Αρσινόη της Πάφου). Αργότερα ένα μέρος των λειψάνων για ευλογία διανεμήθηκε σε διάφορα μέρη. Η θήκη δε με την ιερή κάρα προ του 1788 για μεγαλύτερη ασφάλεια μετακομίσθηκε στην Ιερά Μονή του Σταυρού στο Όμοδος και εκεί φυλάσσεται μέχρι σήμερα.
