The Gospel reading for the Sunday before Christmas, taken from the beginning of the Gospel of Saint Matthew, contains Christ’s genealogy ‘after the flesh’, and, thereafter, God’s dispensation regarding the birth of Jesus from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary. Let us turn our attention to the significance of this for each one of us. Every year, in an atmosphere of joy and delight, the Church celebrates the Birth of Christ, and sings wonderful hymns to God Who became incarnate and re-formed our degenerate human nature. Orthodox hymnography and theology emphasize the great anthropological significance of the divine incarnation: we have been saved from hopeless degradation and from the chaos of destructive hatred by the love of God, which took ...

The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Canada has made a gift in support of the Thomas C. Zachos Chair in Mitochondrial Research. The $1,000.00 contribution will go towards the first named chair to support mitochondrial research at the University of Toronto’s Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology.

If you’re a Christian, you don’t have a home on earth. If the whole of the inhabited word becomes ours, we’re still wayfaring strangers. We’ve been given citizenship of heaven, and that’s where we live. Let’s not be like little children, ignoring the important things and marveling at trifles. Saint John Chrysostom
Saint John Chrysostom At one time, a terrible war broke out against the Churches and spread all over the world like a most dreadful tyranny, with people being seized from the market place on no other accusation but that they had become free of delusion and had hastened towards piety, that they had departed from the religion of the demons, that they had come to know the true God and worshipped His only-begotten Son. And for what they should have been crowned and admired and honoured, because of them, those who embraced the faith were punished and beset with a host of evils. This was especially true of those in charge of the Churches. Because the Devil, being evil and terrible in ...
