Δημήτριος προεξήρχε της τελετής του Αγιασμού των Υδάτων και της Κατάδυσης του Τιμίου Σταυρού στο Τάρπον Σπρινγκς της Φλόριντα, την Παρασκευή 6 Ιανουαρίου 2012. Μετά τη Θεία Λειτουργία στον Καθεδρικό Ναό του Αγίου Νικολάου στην “Πόλη των Θεοφανείων”,  ο Αρχιεπίσκοπος Δημήτριος, οι Μητροπολίτες Ατλάντας, Αλέξιος και Δαρδανελλίων, Νικήτας, ο Επίσκοπος Ζήλων Σεβαστιανός, ιερείς, οι 61 νέοι που επρόκειτο να βουτήξουν για τον Σταυρό, και πλήθος πιστών κατευθύνθηκαν εν πομπή στο Spring Bayou όπου έγινε η Κατάδυση του Τιμίου Σταυρού. Καθώς άργησε να βρεθεί ο Σταυρός, ο Αρχιεπίσκοπος Δημήτριος έριξε και δεύτερο Σταυρό στα νερά του Κόλπου του Μεξικού. Τυχεροί της φετινής χρονιάς είναι οι 17χρονοι Λούις Μαλισιάνος και Μύρος Πέτρου οι οποίοι ανέσυραν τους δύο Σταυρούς. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PHOTO:DIMITRIOS PANAGOS&lt;br /&gt;WWW.PANAGOS.COM&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5343541062331352450-3924699624459200581?l=orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/feeds/3924699624459200581/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/2012/01/epiphany-2012-tarpon-springs-florida.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5343541062331352450/posts/default/3924699624459200581'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5343541062331352450/posts/default/3924699624459200581'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/2012/01/epiphany-2012-tarpon-springs-florida.html' title='EPIPHANY 2012, TARPON SPRINGS, FLORIDA.'/><author><name>Dimitrios, Photography and Video</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00008117507516575270</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='23' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MpfvTWfwKGU/Sb6W-FOE0UI/AAAAAAAAAA0/Fihp6b3ABT0/S220/bridesmaisd2A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hwpH1FoWF-c/TwdVT65TDWI/AAAAAAAACPg/5JppJnH_Fuo/s72-c/01061204a.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343541062331352450.post-1798990574319086157</id><published>2012-01-05T20:44:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-05T20:49:21.874-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tarpon Springs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Blessing of the Fleet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Epiphany 2012'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Florida'/><title type='text'>Blessing of the Fleet, Tarpon Springs, Florida, Epiphany 2012</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nlG0GIpKTWo/TwZ9PZ9uboI/AAAAAAAACOI/pk-dc8sG4Qw/s1600/01051219a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

Archbishop Demetrios and Governor Cuomo signed as the formal witnesses to the agreement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Archbishop Demetrios expressed particular praise for Governor Cuomo and said, “We are grateful to our esteemed Governor and precious friend Andrew Cuomo for bringing to reality the dream we have nourished for ten long years. St. Nicholas Church, rising again with the help of God at Ground Zero - where it stood spiritually important for 85 years, is an affirmation of the significance of religious freedom and experience for all New Yorkers and all Americans. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Governor Andrew M. Cuomo said, “We lost St. Nicholas Church in the destruction of September 11 and for too long its future has been uncertain. Rebuilding St. Nicholas Church, with a nondenominational bereavement center, is not just good news for the Greek Orthodox community, but for all New Yorkers. With this agreement, we are continuing New York’s collective healing, restoration, and resurgence. Now we are finally returning this treasured place of reflection to where it belongs.”&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5343541062331352450-2798625176343932983?l=orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/feeds/2798625176343932983/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/2011/10/greek-orthodox-archdiocese-of-america.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5343541062331352450/posts/default/2798625176343932983'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5343541062331352450/posts/default/2798625176343932983'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/2011/10/greek-orthodox-archdiocese-of-america.html' title='Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America and Port Authority Announce Agreement on Rebuilding of St. Nicholas'/><author><name>Dimitrios, Photography and Video</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00008117507516575270</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='23' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MpfvTWfwKGU/Sb6W-FOE0UI/AAAAAAAAAA0/Fihp6b3ABT0/S220/bridesmaisd2A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Rbgz_WZLsYU/TpvADA7Cv1I/AAAAAAAACAc/Jjm5IZlages/s72-c/10LIBERTY5.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343541062331352450.post-2027721095245707676</id><published>2011-10-16T22:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-16T22:29:31.158-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rica and The Port Authority of NY and NJ on St. Nicholas.'/><title type='text'>Deal reached between The Archdiocese of America and The Port Authority of NY and NJ on St. Nicholas.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Da3fujJ4q8w/Tpu9I0EWeDI/AAAAAAAACAE/vHmLXfcbAVQ/s1600/10LIBERTY3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

The covenant stands firm. We will again light many candles in the new St. Nicholas Church and remember those who were lost to us, and those heroes who so nobly sacrificed their lives. Our pledge is to be a witness for all New Yorkers, that freedom of conscience and the fundamental human right of free religious expression will always shine forth in the resurrected St. Nicholas Church.” The Archbishop also expressed deep appreciation to Michael Jaharis and Dennis Mehiel and the other members of the joint committee who had labored so diligently to accomplish this historic agreement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Governor Andrew M.

The agreement follows a four-month independent engineering study commissioned by the Port Authority and the Archdiocese, which found that the Church could be built on the site with minor modifications to the original plan and with no impact on the World Trade Center construction schedule.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PHOTOS:DIMITRIOS PANAGOS&lt;br /&gt;WWW.PANAGOS.COM&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5343541062331352450-2027721095245707676?l=orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/feeds/2027721095245707676/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/2011/10/deal-reached-between-archdiocese-of.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5343541062331352450/posts/default/2027721095245707676'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5343541062331352450/posts/default/2027721095245707676'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/2011/10/deal-reached-between-archdiocese-of.html' title='Deal reached between The Archdiocese of America and The Port Authority of NY and NJ on St. Nicholas.'/><author><name>Dimitrios, Photography and Video</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00008117507516575270</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='23' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MpfvTWfwKGU/Sb6W-FOE0UI/AAAAAAAAAA0/Fihp6b3ABT0/S220/bridesmaisd2A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Da3fujJ4q8w/Tpu9I0EWeDI/AAAAAAAACAE/vHmLXfcbAVQ/s72-c/10LIBERTY3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343541062331352450.post-9033268467486513585</id><published>2011-09-11T22:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-11T22:05:53.699-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='September 11'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='WTC'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2011.

As we gather in our places of worship on this day, we cannot help but call to mind the dreadful acts of terrorism and the tremendous destruction that shocked the entire world and burdened every heart with pain and sorrow. As we now pause on this solemn anniversary to remember the nearly three thousand innocent lives lost that day, among whom were many Orthodox brothers and sisters, let us also remember the great acts of self-sacrifice, heroism, and compassion that can never be forgotten, as so many offered their lives for the safety and well being of others. And let us remember our church of Saint Nicholas, the only house of worship destroyed on that day of hatred, and for which we lovingly and unceasingly work to rebuild at Ground Zero.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We ask all of the parishes of the Holy Archdiocese of America to conduct a memorial service at the end of the Divine Liturgy today, and to join with others throughout this nation and the world in recognizing this as a solemn day of remembrance, as we offer prayers for the eternal memory and repose of the innocent victims of the barbaric attacks and for those who heroically fell in the line of duty attempting to help others and save lives. We shall continue to offer prayers for and ministry to the families who lost loved ones on that day.  In the years that have followed the tragic events of September 11, 2001, so many of you have given generously to meet the needs of these families.  We give thanks to God for this outpouring of compassion that is a genuine expression of faith in Him and an offering of consolation and assistance to so many.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On this tenth anniversary of September 11, 2001, as we remember with faith and love the fallen and those who lost so much, we also affirm our hope for the future, enshrining this hope in the rebuilding of Saint Nicholas Church. While we cannot bring back except in memory those who perished that day, we can bring back our Church as a visible sign that hatred can never conquer love, and evil can never defeat good. I call upon all of you to offer fervent prayers for the victims – both dead and living, and prayers that our efforts to rebuild Saint Nicholas will soon come to fruition.  From the smoldering ruins of that horrific day, may the Lord give us glory instead of ashes (Isaiah 61:3) so that all people may find solace, peace and recollection in the new Saint Nicholas edifice that will rise at Ground Zero, and know the peace of God which surpasses all understanding (Philip. 4:7) which comes only from our Lord Jesus Christ. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With paternal love in Christ,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;†DEMETRIOS&lt;br /&gt;Archbishop of America&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------www.panagos.com-------&lt;br /&gt;GANP4NEWS PHOTOS&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5343541062331352450-5015162379529688755?l=orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/feeds/5015162379529688755/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/2011/09/message-by-holy-eparchial-synod-greek.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5343541062331352450/posts/default/5015162379529688755'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5343541062331352450/posts/default/5015162379529688755'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/2011/09/message-by-holy-eparchial-synod-greek.html' title='Message by The Holy Eparchial Synod, Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America'/><author><name>Dimitrios, Photography and Video</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00008117507516575270</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='23' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MpfvTWfwKGU/Sb6W-FOE0UI/AAAAAAAAAA0/Fihp6b3ABT0/S220/bridesmaisd2A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-k6AbhWfb_yE/TmmQSjJVYcI/AAAAAAAAB8U/jbXrkO1diAM/s72-c/09220109a.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343541062331352450.post-2029361294474411566</id><published>2011-09-08T07:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-08T07:43:20.807-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Why Port Authority does not let St. Nicholas be rebuilt?.'/><title type='text'>Conspiracy at Ground Zero?

St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church which stood at the feet of the twin towers for almost a century was destroyed by the gross and sneaky attack on America by the fearless enemy. Ten years later, on the eve of the 10th Anniversary of that ugly day everyone has forgotten St. Nicholas Church, the only Religious structure that was destroyed. The white Church, with a cross on top was leveled, sunken many feet below ground, yet the voices of the lawmakers have gotten lower and lower till you cannot hear them. Yes the voices that said just after 9-11 we will rebuild the Church, members of the Port Authority, and many other lawmakers. Now noboby cares. Why? Does the cross frighten them? We need answers, and as Citizens of this Country, Residents of this State, and laborers of this City we have to be heard. Lets unite and send these Politicians a message: "LETS REBUILT ST. NICHOLAS NOW".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5343541062331352450-2029361294474411566?l=orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/feeds/2029361294474411566/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/2011/09/conspiracy-at-ground-zero-why-port.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5343541062331352450/posts/default/2029361294474411566'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5343541062331352450/posts/default/2029361294474411566'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/2011/09/conspiracy-at-ground-zero-why-port.html' title='Conspiracy at Ground Zero?

&lt;br /&gt;Ακολουθούντες την προτροπήν του Αποστόλου, καθ’ ην εν τη Εκκλησία του Χριστού «είτε πάσχει εν μέλος, συμπάσχει πάντα τα μέλη, είτε δοξάζεται εν μέλος, συγχαίρει πάντα τα μέλη» (Α’ Κορ. 12, 26), συνήχθημεν εις την καθέδραν του ιστορικού και μαρτυρικού Οικουμενικού Πατριαρχείου τη προσκλήσει και υπό την προεδρείαν του εν ημίν πρώτου τη τάξει και τη τιμή, δια να βιώσωμεν και διαδηλώσωμεν την συνέχουσαν ημάς αγάπην του Χριστού (Β’ Κορ. 5,14) πάντοτε, και ιδιαιτέρως όλως εν ημέραις πειρασμών και θλίψεων.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Συνήλθομεν ενταύθα επί το αυτό οι έχοντες την ευθύνην της ηγεσίας και διαποιμάνσεως των παλαιφάτων και ιστορικών Εκκλησιών, τας οποίας ίδρυσαν οι Απόστολοι του Χριστού και ανεκήρυξαν αυτοκεφάλους αι Οικουμενικαί Σύνοδοι της μιας αδιαιρέτου Εκκλησίας, εις αναβίωσιν έθους παλαιού, και προς ανταλλαγήν σκέψεων και αντίδοσιν αγάπης και στηριγμού εξ αφορμής όσων συμβαίνουν κατ’αυτάς εις τον ιστορικόν χώρον της γεωγραφικής περιοχής, εις την οποίαν η πρόνοια του Θεού έταξε τας Εκκλησίας μας από αρχαιοτάτων χρόνων.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Κατά θείαν πρόνοιαν, η Εκκλησία του Χριστού εγεννήθη ως ιστορική πραγματικότης εις τον χώρον της καλουμένης Μέσης Ανατολής. Ο ιδρυτής και το θεμέλιόν της Κύριος ημών Ιησούς Χριστός εγεννήθη κατά σάρκα εν Βηθλεέμ της Ιουδαίας (Ματθ. 2,1), όπου εξέλεξε τους Δώδεκα μαθητάς και αποστόλους Του και τους απέστειλε να κηρύξουν το Ευαγγέλιόν Του αρχικώς εις τον χώρον εκείνον (Ματθ. 10,6), όπου έπαθε και ανέστη, και  όπου ιδρύθη η πρώτη Εκκλησία των Ιεροσολύμων, και από εκεί εις «πάντα τα έθνη» (Ματθ. 28,19). Εις τον χώρον αυτόν ιδρύθησαν και διέλαμψαν τα πρώτα μεγάλα κέντρα του Χριστιανισμού, αι Εκκλησίαι της Αλεξανδρείας, της Αντιοχείας, των Ιεροσολύμων και της Κύπρου, και εθεμελιώθη το σύστημα της όλης ενιαίας και αδιαιρέτου Εκκλησίας.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Εις τον χώρον τούτον έχει βαθείας τας ρίζας της η Εκκλησία του Χριστού, όλως δε ιδιαιτέρως η αγία Ορθόδοξος Εκκλησία. Ο χώρος αυτός καθηγιάσθη με το αίμα των μαρτύρων της Ορθοδόξου πίστεως και τα δάκρυα των οσίων της. Ουδείς έχει το ηθικόν δικαίωμα να παραβλέψη τούτο, και κάθε κοσμική δύναμις υποχρεούται να το σεβασθή. Οι ανήκοντες εις τας εκεί Ορθοδόξους Εκκλησίας χριστιανοί ευρίσκονται εκεί από αιώνων, και ουδεμία «εθνοκάθαρσις» η «θρησκειοκάθαρσις» δύναται να τους μετακινήση η να δυσχεράνη καθ’οιονδήποτε τρόπον την εκεί ελευθέραν διαβίωσιν και δράσιν των, χωρίς να παραβή τα πλέον στοιχειώδη δικαιώματα του ανθρώπου.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Η Ορθόδοξος Εκκλησία, ακολουθούσα την Βιβλικήν αρχήν «Του Κυρίου η γη και το πλήρωμα αυτής» (Ψαλμ. 23,1), ουδέποτε ημπόδισε λαούς άλλων θρησκευτικών πιστευμάτων να συμβιώσουν με αυτήν ειρηνικώς εις τον ίδιον χώρον. Και όταν ακόμη άλλα θρησκεύματα δια της βίας κατέκτησαν τον χώρον της από αιώνων διαβιώσεώς της ευρήκε τρόπους προσαρμογής και συνυπάρξεως ειρηνικώς μετά των ετεροθρήσκων. Η μισαλλοδοξία ουδέποτε εχαρακτήρισε την Ορθόδοξον Εκκλησίαν.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ατυχώς, εις την εποχήν μας ανεπτύχθη και έχει οξυνθή ο φόβος του Άλλου, του διαφορετικού. Θύμα αυτής της καταστάσεως τείνουν να γίνουν και αυτοί οι ίδιοι οι χριστιανοί, ιδιαιτέρως εις τον χώρον της Μέσης Ανατολής. Εις πολλάς περιπτώσεις οι χριστιανοί αντιμετωπίζονται ως πολίται «δευτέρας κατηγορίας». Εις άλλας περιπτώσεις βεβηλώνονται η και καταστρέφονται οι τόποι της λατρείας των, οι οποίοι ενίοτε αποτελούν σπουδαία μνημεία πολιτισμού, η περιορίζεται η τέλεσις των θρησκευτικών ακολουθιών των και η εκπαίδευσις του κλήρου. Εις όλα αυτά προστίθενται κατά καιρούς και επιθέσεις βίας φονικής κατά των χριστιανών, προερχομένης από ακραίους φανατικούς θρησκευτικούς κύκλους. Αυτονόητον βεβαίως είναι ότι και οι χριστιανοί, οπουδήποτε και αν ευρίσκωνται, υποχρεούνται να σέβωνται τους τόπους λατρείας των άλλων θρησκευτικών κοινοτήτων.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Οι Ορθόδοξοι πιστεύομεν εις τον λόγον της Γραφής «η τελεία αγάπη έξω βάλλει τον φόβον» (Α’ Ιωάν. 4,18). Δεν φοβούμεθα τον Άλλον, οιαδήποτε και αν είναι η πίστις του. Τον εναγκαλιζόμεθα ως αδελφόν, και αναμένομεν να πράξη και αυτός το ίδιον δι’ημάς. Αλλά και δεν παύομεν να αξιώμεν την προστασίαν, την οποίαν δικαιούμεθα από τα κράτη, εις τα οποία διαβιούμεν. Τούτο, πιστεύομεν, είναι η μόνη λύσις των προβλημάτων της πολυπαθούς περιοχής της Μέσης Ανατολής, αλλά και όλου του κόσμου.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ας εντείνωμεν, λοιπόν, τον διαχριστιανικόν και τον διαθρησκειακόν διάλογον της καταλλαγής. Το Οικουμενικόν Πατριαρχείον έχει ήδη από ετών καθιερώσει τον διαθρησκειακόν διάλογον μετά των άλλων δύο μονοθεϊστικών θρησκειών, συμφώνως και προς την σχετικήν απόφασιν της Γ’ Προσυνοδικής Πανορθοδόξου Διασκέψεως (1986). Επικροτούμεν και στηρίζομεν την προσπάθειαν αυτήν, ιδιαιτέρως εις τας δυσκόλους αυτάς ημέρας, κατά τας οποίας συνταράσσει η βία την περιοχήν, εις την οποίαν ηκούσθη το πρώτον η εντολή της αγάπης και το μήνυμα της ειρήνης.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Απευθυνόμενοι, λοιπόν, προς τους εν τη Μέση Ανατολή και τους ανά τον κόσμον πολιτικούς και θρησκευτικούς ηγέτας τους καλούμεν εις την εκπόνησιν αρχών και δεσμεύσεων ειρηνικής συμβιώσεως των πιστών των διαφόρων θρησκευτικών παραδόσεων, και δηλώνομεν αλληλέγγυοι προς όσους υφίστανται διακρίσεις, βίαν και διωγμούς. Συμπάσχομεν με τους ταλαιπωρουμένους από τας εκρήξεις βίας αδελφούς, με τα αθώα θύματα των πολεμικών συγκρούσεων και με τα πλήθη των ανθρώπων, οι οποίοι υποχρεούνται να εγκαταλείψουν τας εστίας των και να ακολουθήσουν τον σκληρόν δρόμον της μεταναστεύσεως. Κατανοούμεν την επιθυμίαν και ανάγκην των λαών δια πολιτικήν ελευθερίαν και προστασίαν των ανθρωπίνων δικαιωμάτων των και καλούμεν τας αρμοδίας κυβερνήσεις να προβούν αμέσως εις την πλήρη εξασφάλισιν των δικαιωμάτων τούτων. Η Εκκλησία δεν αναμειγνύεται εις την πολιτικήν, αποδίδουσα «τα του Καίσαρος τω Καίσαρι και τα του Θεού τω Θεώ» (Ματθ. 22,21). Η πολιτική ως μέθοδος αντιμετωπίσεως των προβλημάτων του ανθρώπου ανήκει εις άλλους, και όχι εις την Εκκλησίαν. Τα προβλήματα όμως καθ’εαυτά και αι βασικαί ανθρωπολογικαί και κοινωνιολογικαί αρχαί της αντιμετωπίσεώς των δεν είναι δυνατόν να αφήνουν αδιάφορον την Εκκλησίαν, ιδιαιτέρως όταν προσβάλλωνται η κινδυνεύουν η αξιοπρέπεια και η ελευθερία του ανθρωπίνου προσώπου ως «εικόνος του Θεού» (Γεν. 1,26) και η «καλή λίαν» δημιουργία Του (Γεν. 1,31).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Το τελευταίον τούτο σημείον της προστασίας του φυσικού περιβάλλοντος τείνει να υποτιμηθή και να θεωρηθή δευτερευούσης σημασίας υπό την ασφυκτικήν πίεσιν των πολιτικών, κοινωνικών και οικονομικών προβλημάτων, τα οποία ταλανίζουν σήμερον την περιοχήν της Μέσης Ανατολής. Αλλ’η αντίληψις αυτή και εσφαλμένη είναι και επικίνδυνος.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Η καταστροφή του φυσικού περιβάλλοντος θα εκμηδενίση τελικώς τα τυχόν κοινωνικά και οικονομικά οφέλη από οιανδήποτε πολιτικήν αλλαγήν, δια την οποίαν διεξάγονται σήμερον αγώνες επί τιμή αίματος πολλών. Τούτο μας ωδήγησεν εις την απόφασιν να υιοθετήσωμεν την πρότασιν του Οικουμενικού Πατριαρχείου, όπως προετοιμάσωμεν και πραγματοποιήσωμεν συντόμως συνάντησιν θρησκευτικών ηγετών της περιοχής, κατά την οποίαν θα συμφωνηθή και θα διακηρυχθή εν είδος οικολογικής «Χάρτας της Μεσογείου». Δια του τρόπου αυτού η Ορθόδοξος Εκκλησία όχι μόνον θα εκπληρώση χρέος της έναντι της δημιουργίας του Θεού, αλλά και θα συμβάλη εις την ειρηνικήν συνύπαρξιν και συνεργασίαν των θρησκειών της σπαρασσομένης σήμερον από συγκρούσεις περιοχής της Μεσογείου.&lt;br /&gt;Αδελφοί και τέκνα εν Κυρίω,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;«Η θλίψις υπομονήν κατεργάζεται, η δε υπομονή δοκιμήν, η δε δοκιμή ελπίδα, η δε ελπίς ου καταισχύνει, ότι η αγάπη του Θεού εκκέχυται εν ταις καρδίαις ημών» (Ρωμ. 5, 3-5).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Η σκέψις και η καρδία μας είναι πλησίον όλων όσοι σήμερον υποφέρουν δεινώς εις την περιοχήν των Εκκλησιών μας, όσοι στερούνται της ελευθερίας των και των θρησκευτικών δικαιωμάτων των εις όλον τον κόσμον, ιδιαιτέρως δε εις την περιοχήν της Μέσης Ανατολής. Οι θρησκευτικοί ηγέται, οιασδήποτε πίστεως και αν είμεθα, έχομεν χρέος να συμβάλωμεν με όλας τας δυνάμεις μας εις την ειρηνικήν συνύπαρξιν όλων των θρησκευτικών κοινοτήτων εις την περιοχήν της Μέσης Ανατολής. Ο χώρος ούτος πρέπει και δύναται να καταστή χώρος ειρήνης και φιλίας όλων των ανθρώπων.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ταύτα από του Κέντρου τούτου της Ορθοδοξίας διαμηνύοντες προς κάθε άνθρωπον καλής θελήσεως ασπαζόμεθα και επευλογούμεν πάντας εν αγάπη.&lt;br /&gt;Εν Φαναρίω, τη 2α Σεπτεμβρίου 2011.&lt;br /&gt;GANP4NEWS&lt;br /&gt;WWW.PANAGOS.COM&lt;br /&gt;WWW.AMEN.GR&lt;br /&gt;

Έστω και αργά, ήρθησαν όλες οι ισχύσασες τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες  εις βάρος μας διατάξεις, επιστρέφονται αυτά τα ακίνητα, οι ενδιαφερόμενες και δικαιούχες κοινότητες μπορούν εντός δωδεκαμήνου να προσφύγουν και να επανεγγράψουν επ’ ονοματί των αυτά τα ακίνητα. Μεταξύ αυτών είναι και τα Κοιμητήρια όπου αναπαύονται οι πρόγονοί μας, οι πατέρες μας, και τα οποία τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες, παρά τις προβλέψεις της Συνθήκης της Λωζάνης, είχαν καταχωρηθεί και κατακυρωθεί επ’ ονόματι των επιμέρους Δήμων της Πόλης. Και αυτά τα Κοιμητήρια των πατέρων μας επιστρέφονται τώρα εις τας δικαιούχους Κοινότητας».&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ακολούθως ο Οικουμενικός Πατριάρχης αναφέρθηκε στη συζήτηση που είχε με τον Πρωθυπουργό Ερντογάν για το σημαντικό αυτό ζήτημα.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Είμεθα ευτυχείς δια αυτάς τας εξελίξεις και περιμένουμε και άλλες, όπως είπα την Κυριακή το βράδυ στον κύριο Πρωθυπουργό, που είχαμε την συνεστίαση με όλα τα μειονοτικά βακούφια, όταν είπε ότι αυτή είναι μια αρχή". &lt;br /&gt;WWW.AMEN.GR&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GANP 4 NEWS&lt;br /&gt;WWW.PANAGOS.COM&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5343541062331352450-8499010158792418630?l=orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/feeds/8499010158792418630/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/2011/08/liturgy-at-panaghia-soudas-today-august.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5343541062331352450/posts/default/8499010158792418630'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5343541062331352450/posts/default/8499010158792418630'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/2011/08/liturgy-at-panaghia-soudas-today-august.html' title='Liturgy at Panaghia Soudas today August 31, 2011.'/><author><name>Dimitrios, Photography and Video</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00008117507516575270</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='23' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MpfvTWfwKGU/Sb6W-FOE0UI/AAAAAAAAAA0/Fihp6b3ABT0/S220/bridesmaisd2A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zcNlP_ibev8/Tl6vawaR-8I/AAAAAAAAB1M/NpKMsJS3krs/s72-c/08311102a.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343541062331352450.post-1606832890831375609</id><published>2011-08-30T14:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-30T14:36:06.424-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='and Elder Derkon  Apostolos.'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mega Mynima at Phanar by Elder Nikaias Konstantinos'/><title type='text'>Mega Mynima at St. George Cathedral at the Phanar by Geron Derkon and Geron Nikaias</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wCiX-bfaxW8/Tl1XuRUh7hI/AAAAAAAABzk/oulrlcmbGK8/s1600/08301102a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

During this event the Archbishop presented to the Mayor and the municipality of Peinios, which encompasses Vartholomeio and Ionian Village, a check in the amount of $108,000. These funds were the second installment of a grand to the municipality totaling $252,183 to help restore the environment around IV, and were the last disbursement from the Greek Fires Relief Fund which the Archdiocese established in 2007. At the same time, and in the presence of the local authorities and Press, Archbishop Demetrios presented a report on the Greek Fires Relief Fund detailing all disbursements since 2007. The amount collected and distributed totaled almost 4 million dollars. Most grants and assistance were distributed through International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) and were used in the Livelihood Recovery Program for livestock, animal feed, forage and seeds to support the agricultural infrastructure of the area, modernize small family farms, and for fire prevention and safety, firefighting shelters and equipment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GANP/DIMITRIOS PANAGOS&lt;br /&gt;WWW.PANAGOS.COM&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5343541062331352450-8773113632805770569?l=orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/feeds/8773113632805770569/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/2011/08/mayor-of-peinios-welcomed-he-archbishop.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5343541062331352450/posts/default/8773113632805770569'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5343541062331352450/posts/default/8773113632805770569'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/2011/08/mayor-of-peinios-welcomed-he-archbishop.html' title='The Mayor of Peinios welcomed H.E.

The facilities of Ionian Village, the summer camping program of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America are located in Vartholomeio Ileias, on the Ionian coast of Peloponnesus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ionian Village is celebrating 40 years of life and invaluable contributions to the Youth as a “Golden Bridge” between the Greek-Orthodox Omogeneia in America and Greece and the Archdiocesean Youth Choir Concert was offered in honor and recognition of this long history and the almost 17,000 young people who have been part of it over the years. In the last couple of years an ambitious renovation plan has been put into effect and many infrastructure improvements and renovations have been  already realized with many more needed and scheduled for the near future. The Ionian Village program is supported by “FAITH: An Endowment for Orthodoxy and Hellenism” through scholarships which this year reached $200,000. The National Hellenic Society has also sponsored scholarships this year in the amount of $25,000.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 40-Year Anniversary concert of the Archdiocesan Youth Choir was given  under  a clear moonlit summer sky in front of an audience of more than 500 people. Among the many guests and government officials were the alternate Minister of Education and Religious Affairs Mrs. Fofi Genimata, who made the long car trip from Athens just for the concert,  His Eminence Metropolitan Germanos of Ileia, the regional governor of Western Greece Apostolos Katsifaras, the prefect of Ileia and lieutenant governor  Haralambos Kafiras and the Mayor of the municipality of Peinios Alexios Kastrinos. Also in attendance were many members of the local clergy, members of the Parliament, and political representatives of Peloponnesus and ranking officers of the military and the local police authorities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Ionian Village campers, counselors and staff, more than 200 people in total, were also in attendance and were instrumental in the organization, support and success of the event. Dr. Gregory Papadeas from Denver, Colorado, who was a counselor at Ionian Village some 30 years ago, who along with Dr. Jim Skedros from Salt Lake City, serve as the volunteer doctors of IV, was at hand to offer welcoming remarks at the concert in both Greek and English. The Director of Ionian Village Fr. Jason Roll also offered his welcome and spoke briefly about the enthusiasm of the campers in anticipation of the concert.  Minister of Education Genimatas, offered a warm greeting and congratulations to both the IV Program and the Archdiocesan Choir. She particularly outlined the role and the many offerings  of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, crediting Archbishop Demetrios for his personal care for the Youth and the related ministries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The musical program was once again received with enthusiasm and applause and under the direction of Conductor Maria Koleva and with the piano accompaniment of the accomplished pianist Vassilis Varvaresos was the highlight of the evening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A reception followed in the great lawn and gardens of Ionian Village. The campers offered a program of Greek traditional dances, which they had learned and practiced during their stay in the camp.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5343541062331352450-2950267618908414214?l=orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/feeds/2950267618908414214/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/2011/08/final-concert-at-ionian-village-in.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5343541062331352450/posts/default/2950267618908414214'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5343541062331352450/posts/default/2950267618908414214'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/2011/08/final-concert-at-ionian-village-in.html' title='The Final Concert at Ionian Village in Bartholomio, Greece by The Archdiocesan Youth Choir'/><author><name>Dimitrios, Photography and Video</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00008117507516575270</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='23' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MpfvTWfwKGU/Sb6W-FOE0UI/AAAAAAAAAA0/Fihp6b3ABT0/S220/bridesmaisd2A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-42vGoEv_Lc8/TkPB-T8lfyI/AAAAAAAABng/gBmsK23ORQ8/s72-c/Ioniko%2BHorio-Concert19a.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343541062331352450.post-5917497061570281274</id><published>2011-08-10T06:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-10T06:17:12.194-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Meeting with President Dimitris Christofias and Archbishop Demetrios'/><title type='text'>H.E.

The evening began with the traditional version of the Hymn to the Most Holy Theotokos “Ti Ypermaho,” followed by a second version in an arrangement by composer Sophia Serghi. It included some well known and loved songs by renown Greek composers Manos Hatzidakis and Mikis Theodorakis, a song by Turkish composer Livanelli Zuelfue, and pieces by Mozart, George Gershwin and others. It concluded with the “Polychronion” of the Ecumenical Patriarch. Vasilis Varvaressos performed solo an excerpt from Franz Liszt’s Concert for Piano as an interlude in the program. The hundreds of guests, from the Omogeneia of Constantinople, Greece, Cyprus and the United States applauded enthusiastically and complimented the excellence of the offering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Upon the conclusion of the performance, His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios publicly expressed his gratitude to the Ecumenical Patriarch for having accepted the offering of the concert in His All Holiness’ honor and for his support in realizing the performance. The Archbishop particularly thanked the benefactors and sponsors of the Archdiocesan Youth Choir Dimitrios and Georgia Kaloidis and Panikos Papanokolaou, who is also the president of the Choir board, for making the Concert and Tour possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Music is the vocabulary of love and is the way the heart communicates with the Creator,” said the Ecumenical Patriarch addressing the children of the Choir, the delegation from the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America and the audience of the concert. His All Holiness praised the musical performance of the Choir and said that he had the opportunity to receive many expressions of love from the orthodox faithful of America in the past, manifestations and expressions of love which continue to this day with the presentation of this concert. “As in the past, these expressions of your love towards me personally and towards the Mother Church are supporting us and strengthen us- and the Mother Church is truly appreciative of this love and support we receive,” said the Ecumenical Patriarch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tomorrow, Sunday July 3, His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew will preside at the Divine Liturgy in the Church of the Holy Trinity of the Monastery in the Theological School of Halki. Archbishop Demetrios, the Archdiocesan Choir and others from the United States will attend the liturgy.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5343541062331352450-843639811270947450?l=orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/feeds/843639811270947450/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/2011/07/first-concert-of-archdiocesan-youth_04.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5343541062331352450/posts/default/843639811270947450'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5343541062331352450/posts/default/843639811270947450'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/2011/07/first-concert-of-archdiocesan-youth_04.html' title='First Concert of the Archdiocesan Youth Choir Tour In Constantinople in Honor of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew'/><author><name>Dimitrios, Photography and Video</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00008117507516575270</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='23' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MpfvTWfwKGU/Sb6W-FOE0UI/AAAAAAAAAA0/Fihp6b3ABT0/S220/bridesmaisd2A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-j9DGxV9vG8o/ThKwaJ5dcmI/AAAAAAAABgw/yCTJL-wOfNk/s72-c/CHOIR-CONCERT6a.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343541062331352450.post-6896899307800305875</id><published>2011-07-04T23:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-04T23:30:54.869-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Archdiocesan Youth Choir'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Istanbul'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew'/><title type='text'>First Concert of the Archdiocesan Youth Choir Tour In Constantinople in Honor of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Dn9HiXvdWEY/ThKvjodJ2BI/AAAAAAAABgQ/PpYuntsz3C8/s1600/CHOIR-CONCERT2a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 220px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Dn9HiXvdWEY/ThKvjodJ2BI/AAAAAAAABgQ/PpYuntsz3C8/s320/CHOIR-CONCERT2a.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625751911229151250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ey86jE9kIp0/ThKvjNb-dlI/AAAAAAAABgI/RLkVdzuFgDo/s1600/CHOIR-CONCERT1a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Ey86jE9kIp0/ThKvjNb-dlI/AAAAAAAABgI/RLkVdzuFgDo/s320/CHOIR-CONCERT1a.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625751903976453714" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SyVd5X6GBeg/ThKvj0u95kI/AAAAAAAABgY/if1dd_gj1b8/s1600/CHOIR-CONCERT3a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SyVd5X6GBeg/ThKvj0u95kI/AAAAAAAABgY/if1dd_gj1b8/s320/CHOIR-CONCERT3a.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5625751914525091394" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First Concert of the Archdiocesan Youth Choir Tour In Constantinople in Honor of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jul 2, 2011&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CONSTANTINOPLE – The Archdiocesan Youth Choir of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America gave today July 2, 2011 at 7 p.m, a concert in honor His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew on the occasion of the 20th Anniversary of the election and enthronement of His All Holiness to the first throne of the Orthodox Church&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The concert was held in the historic church of St. Irene, which stands next to “Agia Sophia” and was the site of the Second Ecumenical Synod in 381 A.D.

June, 1, 2011&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;The Lord Jesus passed forty days on earth after His Resurrection from the dead, appearing continually in various places to His disciples, with whom He also spoke, ate, and drank, thereby further demonstrating His Resurrection. On this Thursday, the fortieth day after Pascha, He appeared again in Jerusalem. After He had first spoken to the disciples about many things, He gave them His last commandment, that is, that they go forth and proclaim His Name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. But He also commanded them that for the present, they were not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait there together until they receive power from on high, when the Holy Spirit would come upon them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saying these things, He led them to the Mount of Olives, and raising His hands, He blessed them; and saying again the words of the Father's blessing, He was parted from them and taken up. Immediately a cloud of light, a proof of His majesty, received Him. Sitting thereon as though on a royal chariot, He was taken up into Heaven, and after a short time was concealed from the sight of the disciples, who remained where they were with their eyes fixed on Him. At this point, two Angels in the form of men in white raiment appeared to them and said, "Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into Heaven? This same Jesus, Who is taken up from you into Heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into Heaven" (Acts 1:11). These words, in a complete and concise manner, declare what is taught in the Symbol of Faith concerning the Son and Word of God. Therefore, having so fulfilled all His dispensation for us, our Lord Jesus Christ ascended in glory into Heaven, and sat at the right hand of God the Father. As for His sacred disciples, they returned from the Mount of Olives to Jerusalem, rejoicing because Christ had promised to send them the Holy Spirit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It should be noted that the Mount of Olives is a Sabbath's day journey from Jerusalem, that is, the distance a Jew was permitted to walk on the day of the Sabbath. Ecumenius writes, "A Sabbath day's journey is one mile in length, as Clement says in his fifth Stromatis; it is two thousand cubits, as the Interpretation of the Acts states." They draw this conclusion from the fact that, while they were in the wilderness, the Israelites of old kept within this distance from the Holy Tabernacle, whither they walked on the Sabbath day to worship God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;H.E. Archbishop Demetrios Officiated at the Vespers Service at the Ascension Greek Orthodox Church in Rye, NY. Over 23 Clergy and Deacons from the area attended the Service to Honor The Rye Church on its Nameday. Fr. Elias welcomed the many who flocked the Church and thanked them for their support. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GANP News Video&lt;br /&gt;PHOTOS: GANP/DIMITRIOS PANAGOS&lt;br /&gt;WWW.PANAGOS.COM&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5343541062331352450-6056166505265265135?l=orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/feeds/6056166505265265135/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/2011/06/vespers-service-ascension-greek.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5343541062331352450/posts/default/6056166505265265135'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5343541062331352450/posts/default/6056166505265265135'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/2011/06/vespers-service-ascension-greek.html' title='Vespers Service, Ascension Greek Orthodox Church, Rye, NY Officiated by Archbishop Demetrios'/><author><name>Dimitrios, Photography and Video</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00008117507516575270</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='23' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MpfvTWfwKGU/Sb6W-FOE0UI/AAAAAAAAAA0/Fihp6b3ABT0/S220/bridesmaisd2A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NIc_tiZHAnQ/TeeKvFDE4gI/AAAAAAAABf0/GgNWfrC1fZ0/s72-c/DSC_6453a.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343541062331352450.post-279293043464619419</id><published>2011-05-26T09:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-26T09:16:13.512-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Orthodox Assembly of Bishops meet in Chicago May 2011'/><title type='text'>Assembly of Orthodox Bishops 2nd meeting in Chicago May 24-27, 2011</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YNpaMQ2Ii-4/Td58Z4Cf1EI/AAAAAAAABfk/e-8qrhpWJnw/s1600/Bishops-GROUPa.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 203px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YNpaMQ2Ii-4/Td58Z4Cf1EI/AAAAAAAABfk/e-8qrhpWJnw/s320/Bishops-GROUPa.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611058969731650626" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About the Assembly of Bishops&lt;br /&gt;The Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of North and Central America (formerly known as the Episcopal Assembly of North and Central America) is one of twelve bishops’ assemblies which have been established in different geographical regions throughout the world. It is made up of all the active, canonical Orthodox bishops of North and Central America, of every jurisdiction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Assembly has been established in accordance with the Decision of the 4th Pre-Conciliar Pan-Orthodox Conference, convoked in Chambésy, Switzerland, June 6-12, 2009, at which met representatives from all the universally-recognized autocephalous Orthodox churches. These representatives recognized substantial canonical ‘anomalies’ in the organization and life of the Church in these regions, and realized that, though these anomalies had arisen from specific historical circumstances and pastoral needs, they nonetheless present a number of serious problems for the faithful; moreover, they give an appearance of disunity in the one holy Church. As such, these representatives unanimously agreed to the formation of the assemblies of bishops to heal, as quickly as possible, these anomalies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The purpose of the Assembly of Bishops of North and Central America is to preserve and contribute to the unity of the Orthodox Church by helping to further her spiritual, theological, ecclesiological, canonical, educational, missionary and philanthropic aims. To accomplish this, the Assembly has as its goals: i) the proclamation and promotion of Church unity in North and Central America; ii) the strengthening of the common pastoral ministry to all the Orthodox faithful of this region; and iii) a common witness by the Church to all those outside her. In addition, the Assembly has as an express goal iv) the organization of the Church in North and Central America in accordance with the ecclesiological and the canonical tradition of the Orthodox Church.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Assembly, which meets annually, functions by a consensus of all its members. It has established a number of committees to help further its work. These committees are charged by the Assembly with specific tasks; they are made up of member bishops, and are assisted by lay and clergy advisors. The Assembly understands itself to be the successor of SCOBA, and as such, it has assumed all of its agencies, dialogues, and other ministries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unlike SCOBA however, the Assembly is a transitional body. If it achieves its goal, it will make itself obsolete by developing a proposal for the canonical organization of the Church in North and Central America. This proposal will in turn be presented to the forthcoming Great and Holy Council, which will consist of all canonical Orthodox bishops throughout the world. Should this proposal be accepted, it is hoped that the Assembly of Bishops will then come to an end, ultimately to be succeeded by a governing Synod of a united Church in North and Central America.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5343541062331352450-279293043464619419?l=orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/feeds/279293043464619419/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/2011/05/assembly-of-bishops-2nd-meeting-in.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5343541062331352450/posts/default/279293043464619419'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5343541062331352450/posts/default/279293043464619419'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/2011/05/assembly-of-bishops-2nd-meeting-in.html' title='Assembly of Orthodox Bishops 2nd meeting in Chicago May 24-27, 2011'/><author><name>Dimitrios, Photography and Video</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00008117507516575270</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='23' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MpfvTWfwKGU/Sb6W-FOE0UI/AAAAAAAAAA0/Fihp6b3ABT0/S220/bridesmaisd2A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YNpaMQ2Ii-4/Td58Z4Cf1EI/AAAAAAAABfk/e-8qrhpWJnw/s72-c/Bishops-GROUPa.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343541062331352450.post-5772626043869221933</id><published>2011-05-20T20:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-20T23:03:14.895-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brookline'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mass.'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2011 Graduation at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox  Chapel'/><title type='text'>Vespers Service Officiated by H.E.

Για πρώτη φορά, της Αναστάσιμης Ακολουθίας, στην θεωρούμενη από πολλούς ως η πολυπληθέστερη ενορία της Ιεράς Αρχιεπισκοπής Αμερικής, προεξήρχε ο Αρχιεπίσκοπος Αμερικής Δημήτριος. &lt;br /&gt;Κρατώντας το Αγιο Φως και ψάλλοντας με ανάταση ψυχής «Χριστός Ανέστη» μαζί με τον προϊστάμενο της κοινότητας π. Παύλο Παλεστίδη, τον π. Ιωακείμ Βαλασιάδη και τον π. Θεοφάνη Παπαντώνη, οι πιστοί άκουσαν από τον Αρχιεπίσκοπο Δημήτριο για το σωτήριο γεγονός της Ανάστασης και το διαχρονικό μήνυμα της ελπίδας και της νίκης της Ζωής επί του Θανάτου. &lt;br /&gt;Πριν την Αναστάσιμη Ακολουθία, ως είθισται, ο ιερατικώς προϊστάμενος π. Παύλος Παλεστίδης ανέγνωσε το πασχαλινό μήνυμα του Οικουμενικού Πατριάρχη Βαρθολομαίου, ενώ κατάμεστος ήταν ο ναός μέχρι και το τέλος της Αναστάσιμης Θείας Λειτουργίας, με τους πιστούς – ανάμεσά τους αρκετά παιδιά- να αναμένουν να λάβουν τη Θεία Κοινωνία και μετά την απόλυση, την ευλογία του πασχαλινού κόκκινου αυγού από τα χέρια του Αρχιεπισκόπου Δημητρίου.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PHOTOS:GANP/DIMITRIOS PANAGOS&lt;br /&gt;www.panagos.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5343541062331352450-487726707493433557?l=orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/feeds/487726707493433557/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/2011/05/thousands-attend-anastasis-service-at.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5343541062331352450/posts/default/487726707493433557'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5343541062331352450/posts/default/487726707493433557'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://orthodoxphotos.blogspot.com/2011/05/thousands-attend-anastasis-service-at.html' title='Thousands attend Anastasis Service at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Flushing, NY.'/><author><name>Dimitrios, Photography and Video</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00008117507516575270</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='23' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MpfvTWfwKGU/Sb6W-FOE0UI/AAAAAAAAAA0/Fihp6b3ABT0/S220/bridesmaisd2A.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FlRqDn24qL4/TcltAlyoGsI/AAAAAAAABc0/7GWOHvkHXRY/s72-c/Anastasis-Flushing37A.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5343541062331352450.post-330923199440235426</id><published>2011-04-27T08:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-27T08:14:59.627-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Holy Saturday morning Liturgy at Babylon Greek Orthodox Church.'/><title type='text'>His Grace Bishop Savas Celebrates Liturgy at St. Nicholas, Babylon on Holy Saturday Morning.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kGj5SEBfZ80/Tbgyq77utkI/AAAAAAAABb8/Ge98ukM5GoM/s1600/Holy%2BSat-Morning-Babylon7a.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;
