January 2015 - Saint Athanasius the Great
January 2015 Athanasios & Cyril, Patriarchs of Alexandria In the half-century after the First Ecumenical Council held in Nicea in 325, if there was one man whom the Arians feared and hated more intensely than any other, as being able to lay bare the whole error of their teaching, and to marshal, even from exile or hiding, the beleaguered forces of the Orthodox, it was Saint Athanasios the Great. This blazing lamp of Orthodoxy, which imperial power and heretics' plots could not quench when he shone upon the lampstand, nor find when he was hid by the people and monks of Egypt, was born in Alexandria about the year 296. He received an excellent training in Greek letters and especially in the sacred Scriptures, of which he shows an exceptional knowledge in his writings. Even as a young man he had a remarkable depth of theological understanding; he was only about twenty years old when he wrote his treatise "On the Incarnation." Saint Alexander, the Archbishop of Alexandria, brought him up in piety, ordained him his deacon, and after deposing Arius for his blasphemy against the Divinity of the Son of God, took Athanasios to the First Council in Nicea in 325. Saint Athanasios was to spend the remainder of his life laboring in defense of this Holy Council. In 326, before his death, Alexander appointed Athanasios his successor. In 325, Arius had been condemned by the Council of Nicea; yet through his hypocritical confession of Orthodox belief, Saint Constantine the Great was persuaded by Arius's supporters that he should be received back into the communion of the Church. But Athanasios, knowing well the perverseness of his mind, and the disease of heresy lurking in his heart, refused communion with Arius. The heresiarch's followers then began framing false charges against Athanasios. Finally Saint Constantine the Great, misled by grave charges of the Saint's misconduct (which were completely false), had him exiled to Tiberius (Treves) in Gaul in 336. When Saint Constantine was Credit: http://www.goarch.org/chapel/saints_view?contentid=391 succeeded by his three sons Constantine II, Constans, and Constantius, in 337, Saint Athanasios returned to Alexandria in triumph. But his enemies found an ally in Constantius, Emperor of the East, and he spent a second exile in Rome. It was ended when Constans prevailed with threats upon his brother Constantius to restore Athanasios (see also Nov. 6). For ten years Saint Athanasios strengthened Orthodoxy throughout Egypt, visiting the whole country and encouraging all: clergy, monastics, and lay folk, being loved continued on inside cover 4 Appleton Street ■ Arlington, MA 02476 ■ church 781.646.0705 Fr.

After Constans's death in 350, Constantius became sole Emperor, and Athanasios was again in danger. On the evening of February 8, 356, General Syrianus with more than five thousand soldiers surrounded the church in which Athanasios was serving, and broke open the doors. Athanasios's clergy begged him to leave, but the good shepherd commanded that all the flock should withdraw first; and only when he was assured of their safety, he also, protected by divine grace, passed through the midst of the soldiers and disappeared into the deserts of Egypt, where for some six years he eluded the soldiers and spies sent after him. When Julian the Apostate succeeded Constantius in 361, Athanasios returned again, but only for a few months. Because Athanasios had converted many pagans, and the priests of the idols in Egypt wrote to Julian that if Athanasios remained, idolatry would perish in Egypt, the heathen Emperor ordered not Athanasios's exile, but his death. Athanasios took a ship up the Nile. When he learned that his imperial pursuers were following him, he had his men turn back, and as his boat passed that of his pursuers, they asked him if he had seen Athanasios. "He is not far," he answered. After returning to Alexandria for a while, he fled again to the Thebaid until Julian's death in 363. Saint Athanasios suffered his fifth and last exile under Valens in 365, which only lasted four months because Valens, fearing a sedition among the Egyptians for their beloved Archbishop, revoked his edict in February, 366. The great Athanasios passed the remaining seven years of his life in peace. Of his fifty-seven years as Patriarch, he had spent some seventeen in exiles. Shining from the height of his throne like a radiant evening star, and enlightening the Orthodox with the brilliance of his words for yet a little while, this much-suffering champion inclined toward the sunset of his life, and in the year 373 took his rest from his lengthy sufferings, but not before another luminary of the truth -- Basil the Great -- had risen in the East, being consecrated Archbishop of Caesarea in 370. Besides all of his other achievements, Saint Athanasios wrote the life of Saint Anthony the Great, with whom he spent time in his youth; ordained Saint Frumentius first Bishop of Ethiopia; and in his Paschal Encyclical for the year 367 set forth the books of the Old and New Testaments accepted by the Church as canonical. Saint Gregory the Theologian, in his "Oration On the Great Athanasios", said that he was "Angelic in appearance, more angelic in mind; ... rebuking with the tenderness of a father, praising with the dignity of a ruler ... Everything was harmonious, as an air upon a single lyre, and in the same key; his life, his teaching, his struggles, his dangers, his return, and his conduct after his return ... he treated so mildly and gently those who had injured him, that even they themselves, if I may say so, did not find his restoration distasteful." Saint Cyril was also from Alexandria, born about the year 376. He was the nephew of Theophilus, Patriarch of Alexandria, who also instructed the Saint in his youth. Having first spent much time with the monks in Nitria, he later became the successor to his uncle's throne in 412. In 429, when Cyril heard tidings of the teachings of the new Patriarch of Constantinople, Nestorius, he began attempting through private letters to bring Nestorius to renounce his heretical teaching about the Incarnation. When the heresiarch did not repent, Saint Cyril, together with Pope Celestine of Rome, led the Orthodox opposition to his error. Saint Cyril presided over the Third Ecumenical Council of the 200 Holy Fathers in the year 431, who gathered in Ephesus under Saint Theodosius the Younger. At this Council, by his most wise words, he put to shame and convicted the impious doctrine of Nestorius, who, although he was in town, refused to appear before Cyril. Saint Cyril, besides overthrowing the error of Nestorius, has left to the Church full commentaries on the Gospels of Luke and John. Having shepherded the Church of Christ for thirty-two years, he reposed in 444. 2 Happy New Year, Χρόνια Πολλά και Καλή Χρονιά! As we enter 2015, I would like to thank all our parishioners, families and friends for your awesome support of the St. Athanasius Parish in 2014. Your continuous participation, unwavering love and great generosity made our 50th year as a parish a tremendous success. The year was filled with fellowship and cooperation in commemoration of our past 50 years, and with it came a stronger stewardship and financial base which will enable us to focus on our ministries, our community, and on capital projects (including Iconography and the Community Center) in 2015. 2015 Parish Council Elections Under the direction of the Election Committee consisting of Nick Darris, Costa Kapetanakis, George Makredes and Vassilios Tsiaras, elections for the 2015 Parish Council were held on Sunday, December 7. Our newly elected members include David Bowling, George Katsarakes, Peter Ladas, Vassilios Pantazopoulos and Mark Ypsilantis. Parishioners re-elected to serve another term include S. Nicholas Kriketos, Charlie Pappas, Eleanor Profis and Maria Tsaousidis. All elected will serve a 2 year term on the Parish Council. Ongoing members with 1 year remaining on their term include Thanasi Arvanitis, Stefanos Bouboulis, Dean Ioakimidis, John Ioakimidis, Bill Karras, Nikitas Splagounias, Ted Speros and Paul Tsitsopoulos. Fr. Kastanas will administer the Parish Council Affirmation of Office on Sunday, January 4th after Divine Liturgy. 2015 officer elections will also occur on Sunday. Thank you to all who give their time and talents to serve on the Parish Council and most especially to our outgoing members Fotini Gavrielidis, Vivian Karafotias, Dimitri Pagounes, George Pantazopoulos and Paul Skambas. Your dedication and leadership to our community is invaluable and greatly appreciated. Paying Down the Mortgage Many thanks to our Parishioners who gave generously towards a second tray passed after Liturgy on Sunday, December 21st. Your generosity raised $1,115 which was applied as an extra payment towards our mortgage principal. As you may know, we refinanced our mortgage in August, achieving an interest rate of 4.4% along with the ability to pay off the mortgage ahead of our 25 year term without any penalty. While our new monthly mortgage payment is $22,151, we continue to pay at our previous mortgage rate of approximately $26,000 each month, applying an extra $4,000 towards the principal. Our approved 2015 budget includes this extra monthly payment and we will strive to pay that amount as long as we are financially able to do so. Paying at this rate will allow us to pay off our mortgage in approximately 18.5 years! To help us achieve this goal, we will continue the practice of passing a second tray specifically for the mortgage at least once each month going forward. Church Elevator Renovation More good news … our elevator overhaul was completed in December! This challenging, unplanned project took much longer than expected and we apologize for any hardship caused during the months the elevator was out of order. The new electronics system will give us a more reliable elevator with easier future maintenance & service. Celebrating our Parish January 18 is a special day for our Parish; it is the feast of our patron saint, St. Athanasius the Great. Please join us as we celebrate with Great Vespers on Saturday evening, January 17th, and Divine Liturgy on Sunday, January 18th. Our Parish-wide celebration will culminate with a luncheon following Divine Liturgy. See the calendar for details. Lastly, we want to grow participation in various teams and committees during 2015, including Stewardship & Welcoming, Greek School, Community Outreach, Greek Festival, Parish Communications, Iconography, Building, and Technology. Please consider volunteering to help meet the needs of your Parish and our community. Faithfully, Apostolos Paul Tsitsopoulos, Parish Council President 3 News and Announcements Parish Visit to Hellenic Nursing Home On Saturday, December 13, 2014, for the 24th year in a row, all the ministries of our St. Athanasius Parish visited with the guests of the Hellenic Nursing Home in Canton, MA.

News and Announcements Sunday Catechetical School A Happy and Blessed New Year to all from the Catechetical Sunday School. Teachers and students alike had a very busy end to the year. The December Advent season is always filled with meaningful social action activities as we await the birth of Christ. This year, the children visited the Hellenic Nursing Home (HNH) and collected toys for the Home for Little Wanderers. As it happens every time, the visit to HNH left us with many sweet memories, touching moments, and the desire to visit again soon. Enjoy some of these memories from the picture collage included elsewhere in this bulletin. The toy drive (coordinated by our first and second grade teachers Eleni & Marianna Terzakis, Tina Bowling and Martha Pavlakis-Bowling and students) was a tremendous success! Thank you to all who brought in toys for our toy-box or purchased toys online. Our 8th grade students also coordinate a successful sock drive under the direction of their teacher, Nick Pantazopoulos. With the help of the St. Athanasius PTO we organized the annual Family Communion Breakfast. Young and old enjoyed the great tasting pancakes that dads (and this year also moms) cooked, the rich program of our young Greek School students, and the traditional visit by none other than the St. Athanasius Santa himself! A big thank you to the PTO that helped out in many ways to make this beloved event a success. On Sunday December 21st, the Sunday School children chanted the early Liturgy hymns under the direction of our music teacher Mrs. Alexis Mitchell and at the end of the Liturgy they presented the annual St. Athanasius Children's Christmas Pageant. Many people contributed much time and talent for the success of these events. We are especially thankful to all the students that took part in the pageant, as well as to our talented soloist Sophia Kyrou who so much enriched our program with their beautiful voices and the parents that committed their time for the required practices. A BIG thank you to our teachers and pageant directors Cassandra Chamallas and Spyridoula Kazis-Moustakas. 7 News and Announcements In closing, as we start 2015 filled with hope, promises and new year’s resolutions, let’s briefly reflect on the Gospel story we read on New Year’s Day. In this story Jesus is 12 years old, about the same age as some of my 5th grade students. He is finally old enough to participate in the Liturgical life of the Hebrews, and so He accompanies His family to Jerusalem for Passover. As you probably remember, after the visit is over the family departs to return to Nazareth thinking that Jesus is in the company of other family members. After a day’s journey they discover that Jesus is not with them. Joseph and Mary return to Jerusalem and after a 3 day search they find Jesus in the temple. There, the Gospel tells us, Jesus was “sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.” Did you ever ponder the significance of this simple sentence? Jesus, as God Himself, knew everything and was filled with all of the wisdom any person would ever achieve. Why does then Jesus pays this special attention to the teachers of God’s Law? I tend to believe that Jesus was setting an example for every young person to follow. A shining example of how to listen attentively, ask serious questions, be in holy places and close to people that teach God’s law. Let’s make a resolution to help our children and students follow Christ’s example by attending with them the Divine Liturgy every Sunday and participating in the Catechetical Sunday School activities. This way each child will keep on learning and “increasing in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and man” as Christ did! Our next staff meeting is scheduled for Sunday, January 11th immediately following the end of classes. 8 News and Announcements Sunday School Christmas Pageant Greek School Christmas Pageant 9 News and Announcements Philoptochos Happy New Year St. Barbara's Philoptochos celebrated this holiday season with 27 in attendance at Biagio's Restaurant, on Sunday, December 7.

They discussed the changes in the weather and the clothes they wear to keep warm. Some activities included making a pair of mittens, drawing in the snow and counting snowflakes. The final two weeks of December were devoted to the preparation of Christmas and practicing for our holiday celebration. We read many Christmas books and decorated our Christmas tree using ornaments that depict the story of Christmas. The students made collages using cut out Christmas decorations. All the children collaborated on our forest of Christmas trees class project that is currently displayed in the James Bouboulis Hall. Lastly, the children rolled out cookie dough, decorated and baked Christmas cookies that they took home to enjoy with their family. On Friday, December 19th, The Little Halos extended their warm wishes to their families by acting out the nativity scene, reciting their poem, and singing Christmas carols. The celebration was topped off with a special visit from Santa Claus who gave all the children their gifts. Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

It’s the sure footedness that comes with having proved you can meet life. — Ann Lander There is a vast difference between success at twenty-five and success at sixty. At sixty, nobody envies you. Instead, everybody rejoices generously, sincerely, in your good fortune." ~ Marie Dressler You have to dream before your dreams can come true. — A. P. J. Abdul Kalam Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures." ~ Jackson Brown Colors are the smiles of nature. — Leigh Hunt Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much. — Helen Keller Be brave enough to live creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You can't get there by bus, only by hard work, risking, and by not quite knowing what you're doing. What you'll discover will be wonderful: yourself. — Alan Alda Mindfulness is simply being aware of what is happening right now without wishing it were different; enjoying the pleasant without holding on when it changes (which it will); being with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way (which it won’t). — James Baraz "How we think shows through in how we act. Attitudes are mirrors of the mind. They reflect thinking." ~ David Joseph Schwartz Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny. — Lao-Tze Be nice to people on your way up because you'll meet them on your way down. — Wilson Mizner The man who walks with God always gets to his destination. If you have a pulse you have a purpose. (Author unknown) u January 2015 24
