Copied from a Ukranian Church in Canada:
One of the most popular icons found in Ukrainian churches and homes falls into the Eleusa category. It is known by several names, including the “Virgin of Passion”, the “Virgin of Perpetual Help” or Pammakar…

You may want to read Bishop Severus of Al'Ashmunein's account of St. Athanasius' patriarch: http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/severus_hermopolis_hist_alex_patr_02_part2.htm#ATHANASIUS_I and if you have time, I'd definitely recommend reading all his …
It's good that you're serving and dedicating much time to the church, don't let others discourage you, but there needs to be, for a lack of better words, a limit to some things, in some situations a balance. Bishop David visited our church during t…

No matter how many times you fall, pick yourself back up and strive harder. The struggle may take months or even years but do not fret and do not fall into despair when you fall. Your God is a gracious and caring God and will save you in due time. H…
Two stories:
If anyone here attended the liturgy at the Philly "Competition" last year, they may remember this. There was a little child serving in the altar that day, and instead of saying, "You who are seated stand," he said, "You who are Jesus s…
I hate the introduction of the guitar to prayer meetings, and to an extent, the introduction of the keyboard to accompany songs sung during festivities, and I have been quite vocal about it in my church. One of the main issues I run into, which I th…

I was told it is wrong to get rid of it as it has been blessed, but I cannot offer an official way to dispose of it. What I can offer is my mothers way of disposal: she dips it in her tea which softens it enough to consume (and actually enjoy).
I've looked up the other threads but there just doesn't seem to be a solid answer. Some say we can go if we keep it hush hush, some say only non-Egyptians can, and some say no at all costs. Nevertheless, if I can ask one question though, what is the…
