Transfiguration
I
TRANSFIGURED WITH HIM
f Jesus, the Head of the Body [the Church], was transfigured, then we who
are members of His Body will also be transfigured with Him. The dazzling
light that shown through Christ on Mount Tabor is not just something
that happened in the past. It is a window through which we can look to see
the reality of the Kingdom of God not only in Christ but also in us. As we are
incorporated into Christ through faith and the sacraments, we are gradually
transformed into His likeness. This is our personal transfiguration in Christ.
We are not just earthen vessels of clay subject to the universal law of death
and corruption. These earthen vessels bear a “great treasure” as St. Paul states.
They can become not only spirit-bearing, but God-bearing, pervaded by
God’s presence. They are called to share in the eternal glory of God. It was our
own human nature which was fi lled with divine glory at the Transfiguration.
It was our own human nature which was made Godlike and partook of God’s
glory. Consider this against the background of people who claim that life
is meaningless.
Jesus took Peter, James and John and led them to a high mountain. While
praying there He was transfigured. “His face shone as the sun.” Jesus had
many times shown His disciples His Divine Power, but now He showed them
His divine nature. Moses and Elias (Elijah) appeared with Him to dispel
the Jewish fallacy that Jesus was one of the prophets. He revealed Himself
to be King over the prophets who were His servants.
The divine light did not merely shine around Christ, His very flesh was aflame
with it. The image of God in us, which had been darkened by the sin of Adam,
was once again glowing in the human nature of Jesus. Transfigured and
sanctified by the grace of God, this human body of ours can indeed become
an icon of man deified, transfigured and glowing with the light of the Holy
Trinity. It is for this reason that many Orthodox theologians consider the
Feast of the Transfiguration as the day of the celebration of the deification
(theosis) of human nature in Christ.
TROPARION
O Christ our God, at the time of your Transfiguration on the Mount, You showed your disciples
as much of your glory as they could hold. Through the prayers of the mother of God, let your
eternal light shine also upon us sinners. O Giver of Light, glory to You! ^
THE DORMITION OF THE VIRGIN MARY – AUGUST 15
T
he Holy Scriptures tell us that when our Lord was dying on the Cross, He saw His mother and the disciple
John and said to the Virgin Mary, “Woman, behold your son!” and to John, “Behold your mother!” (John
19:25-27). From that hour, the Apostle took care of the Theotokos in his own home.
Along with the biblical reference in Acts 1:14 that confirms that the Virgin Mary was with the Holy Apostles
on the day of Pentecost, the tradition of the Church holds that she remained in the home of the Apostle John in
Jerusalem, continuing a ministry in word and deed. At the time of her death, the disciples of our Lord who were
preaching throughout the world returned to Jerusalem to see the Theotokos. Except for the Apostle Thomas,
all of them including the Apostle Paul were gathered together at her bedside.

Pag. 1 THE DORMITION OF THE VIRGIN MARY – AUGUST 15
T he post ure of t he Apost les direct
attention toward the Theotokos (2). On
the right Saint Peter censes the body of the
Theotokos. On the left Saint Paul (3) bows
low in honor of her.
2. The Apostles bow their heads in reverence
to the Theotokos as Saint Peter (right) censes
her body (detail).
At the moment of her death, Jesus Christ
himself descended and carried her soul into
heaven.
Following her repose, the body of the
Theotokos was taken in procession and laid
in a tomb near the Garden of Gethsemane.
When the Apostle Thomas arrived three
days after her repose and desired to see her
body, the tomb was found to be empty. The
bodily assumption of the Theotokos was
confirmed by the message of an angel and
by her appearance to the Apostles.
Together with the Apostles are several
bishops (4) and women. The bishops
traditionally represented are James, the
brother of the Lord; Timothy; Heirotheus;
and Dionysius the Areopagite. They are
shown wearing episcopal vestments. The
women are members of the church in
Jerusalem.
accomplished by the divine will of God.
Thus, this Feast is a feast of hope - hope in
Resurrection and life eternal. Like those
who gathered around the body of the Virgin
Mary, we gather around our departed loved
ones and commend their souls into the
hands of Christ. As we remember those who
have reposed in the faith before us and have
passed on into the communion of the Saints,
we prepare ourselves to one day be received
into the new life of the age to come.
We also affi rm through this Feast as we
journey toward our heavenly abode that the
Mother of God intercedes for us. Through
Christ she has become the mother of all
of the children of God, embracing us with
divine love.
The commemoration of the Dormition of
the Theotokos and the preparation for the
Feast begin on August 1 with a period of
fasting. A strict fast is followed on most of
the days (no meat, dairy, oil, or wine), with
the exceptions of fish on the Feast of the
Transfiguration (August 6) and the day of
the Dormition. Oil and Wine are allowed
on Saturdays and Sundays. On the weekdays
In front of
the bed of the
Theotokos is a

LET US KNOW LOOK AT A DESCRIPTION
OF THE ICON FOR THIS FEAST:
The Icon of the Feast of the Dormition of
the Theotokos shows her on her deathbed
surrounded by the Apostles. Christ is
standing in the center looking at His mother.
He is holding a small child clothed in white
representing the soul of the Virgin Mary.
With His golden garments, the angels above
His head, and the mandorla (oval image
behind Christ depicting His divine glory),
He accepts her soul into heaven.

holding her most pure soul. Above Christ
the gates of heaven stand open, ready to
receive the Mother of God.

Mother, the Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary.

before the Feast, Paraklesis services are held
in most parishes. These consist of the Great
Paraklesis and the Small Paraklesis, both
services of supplication and prayer for the
intercessions of the Theotokos.
APOLYTIKION
In birth, you preserved your virginity; in death, you
did not abandon the world, O Theotokos. As mother
of life, you departed to the source of life, delivering our
souls from death by your intercessions.

were several Bishops

KONTAKION
Neither the grave nor death could contain the
Theotokos, the unshakable hope, ever vigilant in
intercession and protection. As Mother of life, He who
dwelt in the ever-virginal womb transposed her to life. ^

President’s Message
■
AGAPIOS KYRITSIS, PARISH COUNCIL PRESIDENT
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
N
ow is time to enjoy the summer, to decompress, get some
sun, reflect on the past busy year, and to anticipate the
New Year which begins in September. I would like
to first of all acknowledge all of our youth groups and their
accomplishments from Sunday School , GOYA (YHT), Greek
dancing, Sights and Sounds, Athletics, Olympics, Greek School,
etc. We are so proud of our kids and we continue to support
and help them grow in our faith through fellowship.
Next I must admit that our Philoptochos continues to impress
as I have witnessed first-hand their highly successful fashion
show. The Ladies do great work and we must all continue to
support their efforts.
The much anticipated Greek Fest 2013 has come and gone.
All the volunteers, committee members, advertisers, sponsors,
vendors and patrons all helped make it a continued success.
We are already planning for Greek Fest 2014 as it has become
a local institution.
For the first time, I am proud to announce that we are
donating a portion of the admissions proceeds to local causes.
$2,000.00 has been donated for both the Westfield EMS and
the Mountainside Specialized Children’s Hospital.
These two worthy organizations have been added to our ever
expanding Outreach Program at Holy Trinity. Please mark
your calendars for the Greek Fest Appreciation Cookout
to be held after church services on September 8, 2013, from
12 noon - 3 pm on the front lawn of the church. All Greek Fest
volunteers, their families, committee members, donors, and
vendors are invited.
I also want to thank my fellow parish council members for their
commitment, dedication, and full participation this past year.
Thus far it has been a meaningful and productive year. The
various committees will meet over the summer as we continue
to work on improving all aspects of Holy Trinity.
This past May the parish faced the sad event of saying goodbye
to one of the pillars at Holy Trinity. Dino Genakos will be
missed as he took his repose in the Lord just before the Greek
Fest on May 2. ^

hat a successful year we’ve had! Even though the year
was slowly coming to an end, our youth had a very busy
spring. On May 18th, a group of GOYANS attended
the Indoor Olympics at Perth Amboy. A fun and exciting day
resulted in our youth winning a total of seven medals in events
such as ping pong, Wii Just Dance, checkers, and badminton.

Thank you to the outreach committee for organizing this fun and

farewell all of our GOYA seniors for all of their dedication to
our youth. They have been excellent role models for our younger
youth members and they will be missed very much next year. ^

of the outstanding assistance offered by you, the stewards of
the Philoptochos, the sum of $1,623,640 has been nationally
disbursed in the year 2012 through our various funds and
special drives. This is an amazing figure as it is the largest
amount ever donated by Philoptochos. You have truly
demonstrated that you are indeed “doers of the Word”. I am
especially happy to see so many of our younger Philoptochos
members getting more involved with our various Philoptochos
outreach programs and ministries and I thank you for your
devoted service to Christ and His Church and wish you and
your loved ones peace, grace and love.
Plans were presented for continued fundraising efforts
by National Board members and Philoptochos Chapters
through the Aid to Greece and Cyprus Campaign as they face
enormous financial turmoil. All Philoptochos Chapters have
scheduled Sunday, September 22, 2013 as “National Philoptochos
Fellowship Sunday.” On this day, Philoptochos Chapters will host
their parish coffee/refreshment hour following the Divine
Liturgy and raise funds for this cause.
Scholarship Awards
W

scholarships to our very deserving students. We are blessed
to have on our Philoptochos Board Barbara Manos who very
diligently conducts our scholarship awards, together with her
committee, for the high school scholarship recipients.
Three of our scholarships donated yearly by Paul Stappas
