Lenten Bracelets - Veror - 03/01/2009
Category: Recent Events
Last updated: 2021-03-13 08:02:49

An Albanian folk spring-time tradition - whose origin is clouded in time - there was the practice of children wearing string bracelets for a period of time, bracelets that they would cut off and throw on the bushes so that the birds would take them for their nesting material.

In our parish, this folk custom was integrated into the church as a Lenten effort/reminder during Great Lent.

At the Church School session on Forgiveness Sunday, the children and their teachers tie this bracelet on their right hand, and keep it on until Paschal Vespers, when they cut it off, and place it on the bushes for the birds.

Many adults of the parish wear this bracelet in solidarity with the children.

The bracelets are crocheted red and white strings - a reminder of the nature of Christ: both God and man.

The Holy Synod acted on the retirement request of Archbishop DMITRI. As part of his many years of ministry, he served as the administrator of the Albanian Archdiocese, and as such had occasion to visit our parish.

The Synod’s statement is as follows:

"With gratitude to God for his service and with profound respect, although regretting his absence from our midst, the Holy Synod of Bishops of The Orthodox Church in America accepts the request for retirement of His Eminence DMITRI, Archbishop of Dallas and the South, effective 31 March, 2009. It is the prayer of the Bishops of The Orthodox Church in America that the Lord will grant many years to His Eminence, Archbishop DMITRI.  In retirement, his title will be 'Former Archbishop of Dallas and the South.'"

We all know the trails and tribulations of moving a church; we "did it" 30 years ago.

From Korçe to Connecticut - two peoples, two churches:  one faith - to our community was given the first honor and opportunity to worship with them on Great and Holy Monday.

Fr. Sergei presented a small box of incense to the parish as a token of our prayers and our love.

It was good to be there - to help "open" their church.

As we moved from Holy Week to Great and Holy Friday, our "myrrh-bearers" worked to prepare the church and the tomb of the Lord for the services of both Vespers, when we commemorate the taking Christ down from the Cross, and the Lamentation Matins, which mark His Burial.
 
A typical "Byzantine" Orthodox feature of the Lamentation Matins is that the whole church gathers around the Tomb of the Lord and the Holy Shroud ("Petafi") and joins in the singing selections of the haunting hymn-mediations of sorrows, culminating in the priest sprinkling the entire church with rose water.
 
The conclusion of the Service and our inauguration into Holy Pascha is the Burial Procession where we all pass under the Holy Shroud in remembrance of our baptism.

Thank you to everyone for their continued support to our Parish's commitment to Charities.  Our goal is to support Charities that are Orthodox – as a means of witness to our Faith.  This year for 2009, we gave $3,319.00.  There are many in need – our responsibility is to share from the bounty God has given us.  Click on the more information link to view detailed charity activity for 2009.

We are appreciative of the poinsettia flowers given us by Ron Dougeillo of the Commerce Hill Funeral Home, as well as the festive decorations for the Nativity by Jennifer Goetz, Cheryl and Peter Themel.
