Ecclesiastical New Year
For the maintenance of their armed forces, the Roman emperors decreed that their subjects in every district should be
taxed every year. This same decree was reissued every fifteen years, since the Roman soldiers were obliged to serve
for fifteen years. At the end of each fifteen-year period, an
assessment was made of what economic changes had taken
place, and a new tax was decreed, which was to be paid
over the span of the fifteen years. This imperial decree,
which was issued before the season of winter, was named
Indictio, that is, Definiton, or
Order.
This name was adopted by the
emperors in Constantinople also.
At other times, the latter also
used the term Epinemisis, that is,
Distribution (Dianome). It is
commonly held that Saint Constantine the Great introduced the
Indiction decrees in A.D. 312,
after he beheld the sign of the
Cross in heaven and vanquished
Maxentius and was proclaimed
Emperor in the West. Some,
however (and this seems more
likely), ascribe the institution of
the Indiction to Augustus Caesar,
three years before the birth of
Christ. Those who hold this view
offer as proof the papal bull issued in A.D. 781 which is dated
thus: Anno IV, Indictionis LIII that is, the fourth year of the fifty
-third Indiction. From this, we can deduce the aforementioned year (3 B.C.) by multiplying the fifty-two complete
Indictions by the number of years in each (15), and adding
the three years of the fifty-third Indiction.
1st of September and is observed with special ceremony in
the Church.
Since the completion of each year takes place, as it were,
with the harvest and gathering of the crops into storehouses, and we begin anew from henceforth the sowing of
seed in the earth for the production of future crops, September is considered the beginning of the New Year.
The Church also keeps festival this day, beseeching God
for fair weather, seasonable
rains, and an abundance of the
fruits of the earth. The Holy
Scriptures (Lev. 23:24-5 and
Num. 29:1-2) also testify that
the people of Israel celebrated
the feast of the Blowing of the
Trumpets on this day, offering
hymns of thanksgiving. In addition to all the aforesaid, on
this feast we also commemorate our Saviour's entry into
the synagogue in Nazareth,
where He was given the book
of the Prophet Esaias to read,
and He opened it and found
the place where it is written,
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, for which cause He
hath anointed Me..." (Luke
4:16-30).
It should be noted that to the
present day, the Church has
always celebrated the beginning of the New Year on September 1. This was the custom in Constantinople until its
fall in 1453 and in Russia until the reign of Peter I. September 1 is still festively celebrated as the New Year at the Patriarchate of Constantinople; among the Jews also the New

From Our Parish Council President - Steve Margarites
Hello All:
Well it’s September and what does that mean??? “ A Festival for the rest of us!!”, said Frank Contanza. The only difference is it’s September 18-20th not December 23rd.
Are you ready for Greek Fest 2015? This year’s festival is
going to be great. Please, please, please volunteer for your
time and enjoy the weekend, as this is really the only special
event we have when we all come together and show what
can happen when a family works together as a team.
There are so many new attractions like a new Beer garden, a
Kafenio, new food ideas, and so much more.
As for other news happening ( like there could be more than
the festival) Ministry Sunday is September 13th, please
come join a ministry and be part of what’s going on here,
not just a fan in the stands. Over the years I have said it’s
easy to sit in the stands and give opinions (good or bad)
about how things are run or why is this happening etc.. Get
out of the stands and into the game, join a ministry, and be
part of what’s going on. An excuse not to do something is
easy, find a reason to come!
On September 12th the PC will be doing a Breakfast Run.
What is a Breakfast Run? Is father Lou starting a boot camp
for the PC? Is Steve telling us of a PC breakfast at a local
diner? This Run isn’t a marathon we run but it’s a marathon
in helping feed the less fortunate. It’s the PC getting to the
church at 5:00 am to make breakfast for the NYC homeless.
We will all take a bus into the city to feed and cloth 100 or
so of NYC homeless. If this sounds familiar it is. Our newest ministry the YAL did this same run in January, as does
the Goya (Midnight Run). I urge you all to either donate
clothes or money (to buy new clothes and food) to all 3
causes events as we should Thank God realized how blessed
we are for what we have.
Please support the Festival the homeless ministries and the
Grand Raffle.
See you at the Festival!!!
God Bless you all and Eat More Gyro, oops, I mean Cheese

September already?? Where has the summer gone?? This very familiar refrain is heard by everyone everywhere, every
summer, every year, but every season also has its' own musical refrains. We do hope that you all had a great summer
which included music.
Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything - Plato
Very soon we will be back up in our perch as if we never left, and the refrains of our beautiful hymns will also be
repeated once again.
Nothing elevates the soul, nothing gives it wings as a liturgical hymn does - St. John Chrysostom
September is the beginning of the Ecclesiastical year, and also the month when we celebrate the Elevation of the Cross on
Sept. 14th. St. Cosmas the Hymnograper is especially noted for composing The Canon of the Cross. We remember Kassiani, the Hymnographer, on September 7th. Of course Kassiani, also known as Kassia or Ikasia, is famous for her beautiful,
yet emotional, Kassiani Hymn, for which she wrote both the words and the melody and which is sung only on Holy Tuesday. She is considered the most prominent woman composer and hymnographer in the history of Byyzantine music. On
September 24th we remember Thekla, the Nun, Hymnographer, Poet, Protomartyr and Equal to the Apostles. Thekla was
a ninth century composer who was known for her knowledge of theology, and who exhibited her ability in hymnology in
the canons that she wrote to the Theotokos asking for her intercessions.
We are so proud of our two youngest choir members. Ariana Warren returned from Opera Viva, located in Verona, Italy.
Opera Viva is a young artist's opera program where the singers study roles with renown teachers and perform opera scenes
and roles. Ariana is entering her senior year at Ithaca University. Brother Andrew returned from touring England and
Scotland with his Northport High School Tour Choir, singing at many different famous venues. He is now entering his
freshman year at Kutztown University. We will miss their talented voices while they're gone. Mom Marie was soloist with
the Atlantic Wind Symphony on Sunday, August 30th, at Peconic Landing.
Congratulations to choir member Elaine Champey and her husband, Michael, upon the marriage of their daughter, Lauren,
to Kerry Michael Saxena. Na sas zisoune!! We wish them all the best!! Perastika to choir member Georgia Stavros.
D.A.D. Federation News
Federation members are looking forward to a CMI (Church Music Institute) on Saturday, September 26, 2015, which will
be hosted by the Annunciation GO Church Choir, NYC. The theme is "The Divine Liturgy Arranged by Dr. Frank Desby", and will be conducted by Dr. James Maniatis, Choir Director of the Denver Cathedral. He will be accompanied by his
wife/organist, Connie. Dr. Maniatis is also the Guest Choir Director of the D.A.D. Federation Annual Conference this
coming November. His wife, Connie, will be the Guest Organist for this joint conference with the Denver Federation, also
hosted by the Annunciation Church. The CMI will provide choir members with the opportunity to practice and learn the
music of Dr. Desby in preparation for November. It promises to be an interesting and fulfilling day.
Next month we will be celebrating National Church Music Sunday, a day to remember, recognize and honor all church
musicians and teachers. We wonder which church musician will be honored this year? Last year it was St. Theophanes
the Confessor and Hymnographer, Bishop of Nicea and the younger brother of St. Theodore the Branded. Who will it be
this year??? Look for the poster and/or "read all about it" right here in The Message!
In the meantime, until we meet again, enjoy music, be well and see you on Sunday!!
