"How can we speak of these things, Gerondissa?
You cannot understand. Our tongues cannot speak such things; we cannot describe it. It is something heavenly! Oh, what happens during the Divine Liturgy! Angels, archangels! The church fills with more angels than the number of our breaths."

- Geronda Gabriel of the Holy Monastery of the Transfiguration in Flamourios

Greece Becomes First Orthodox Country to Legalize Same-Sex Marriage https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/15/world/europe/greece-same-sex-marriage.html?smid=nytcore-android-share

"Indicative of the hostility towards the measure, the far-right Spartans party leader, Vassilis Stigas, told parliament that the bill was tantamount to 'opening the window' to paedophiles as he urged ND MPs to vote against it, while the bishop of Piraeus claimed that homosexuality was a 'mortal sin' and a cause of cancer. 'Google it and you will see,' he told stunned interviewers on Skai TV."

"Even though the bill isn’t forcing the priests to marry gay people and has nothing to do with the church, it is church officials who have been the loudest opponents, with bishops appearing on television programs making outdated and false accusations, calling homosexuality a mental illness and suggesting that gay men and women are sick and only the church can heal them."

"Greece is expected to legalize same-sex weddings this week, in a vote due to be held the day after Valentine’s Day. Not everyone is feeling the love, however, and the Greek Orthodox church has become an outspoken and powerful opponent of the changes."

~ Demetrios Ioannou

Greece is about to legalise same-sex marriages, so of course, the Greek Orthodox church is butting in.

“Ever since psychiatry removed homosexuality from the list of mental disorders, it gave up on related research and these unfortunate people were left helpless with only solace the hope of a convenient legislation and the assertion of rights with parades of self-deprecation and shame,” said Nikolaos, the Metropolitan of Mesogaia and Lavreotiki, during a meeting of the Greek church’s Holy Synod in late January. These words angered many Greeks who took to social media to express their disapproval and even forced the Hellenic Psychiatric Association to release a statement clarifying that “homosexuality is not a mental illness”.

Bishop, it's none of your business. As for "...these unfortunate people..." get well and trully stuffed; they are most likely happier than your believers

The end of the evening tour, we went to the best viewpoint on the rocks to watch the sun setting behind the mountain range of Pindos or according to Greek mythology, we saw the god Helios on his fiery chariot taking his horses to rest.

Ἔτι καὶ ἔτι ἐν εἰρήνῃ τοῦ Κυρίου δεηθῶμεν.
Again and again, in peace, let us pray to the Lord.

( Κύριε, ἐλέησον. )
( Lord, have mercy. )

Ἀντιλαβοῦ, σῶσον, ἐλέησον καὶ διαφύλαξον ἡμᾶς, ὁ Θεός, τῇ σῇ χάριτι.
Help us, save us, have mercy on us, and protect us, O God, by Your grace.

Commemorating our most holy, pure, blessed, and glorious Lady, the Theotokos and ever-virgin Mary, with all the saints, let us commend ourselves and one another and our whole life to Christ our God.

( Σοί, Κύριε. )
( To You, O Lord. )

Ὅτι σὸν τὸ κράτος καὶ σοῦ ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία καὶ ἡ δύναμις καὶ ἡ δόξα, τοῦ Πατρὸς καὶ τοῦ Υἱοῦ καὶ τοῦ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος, νῦν καὶ ἀεὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων.
For Yours is the dominion, and Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, now and forever and to the ages of ages.

#StCatherine the Great Martyr of Sinai in the First Tone

Let us praise now with hymns the distinguished bride of Christ, and the protectress of Sinai, our assistance in need, and our comforting support, godly Katherine. For she has brilliantly made mute the unrighteous ones of wit, by the power of the Holy Spirit, and being crowned as a martyr, she pleads on our behalf for God's great mercy.

Την πανεύφημον νύμφην Χριστού υμνήσωμεν, Αικατερίναν την θείαν και πολιούχον Σινά, την βοήθειαν ημών και αντίληψιν ότιεφήμωσε λαμπρώς τους κομψούς των ασεβών του Πνεύματος τηv dynamin, και νυν ως μάρτυς στεφθείσα, αιτείται πάσι το μέγα έλεος.

I’ve been thinking of the virgin martyr saint Kyriake since yesterday for her feast day. I went to Divine Liturgy at the Greek Orthodox Church and it was a such a beautiful service. I also think of John the Baptist when I think of her because she was also beheaded in the end. I am going to think of her tomorrow as well because she was born on a Sunday which is why her name is kyriaki! I am so thankful to her for her sacrifice and intercessions and she, along with John the Baptist, strengthen my faith in love and truth for Christ our Lord so much #GreekOrthodox #Christianity #OrthodoxChristianity #ChristianOrthodoxy #ChristianSaint

I sauntered down the street, to the Greek festival in Tremont on Saturday, not unlike the last 30 + years. As I was eating my Gyro, I had the ‘groundhog day’ affect/effect go through me and I decided to do something besides enjoying the same song and dance as I usually do.
