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 There are three types of Indictions: 1) That which was inYear, although reckoned according to a moveable calendar, troduced in the West, and which is called Imperial, or Caeusually falls in September.

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!!!

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!!
