Christ is Risen.
This is what all the martyrs have died to proclaim.
This remains our Orthodox faith.
That is our joy and our peace.
Christos anesti ek nekron, thanato thanaton
patisas, kai tois en tois mnimasoi, zoin charisamenos.
“Christ has
risen from the dead, trampling down death through death, and to those in
the tombs he has given life.”
Parish
Focus
The patron saint of our parish is St. Nicholas of South Canaan,
Bishop of Zhicha, a man of whom it was said that he, in his earthly life, "had
seen the face of God". In our patronal icon, St. Nicholas holds in his hand a
scroll which reads,
"No man can know the true God except through the risen
Lord Jesus. Neither can any man know true man except through Him alone."
This statement summarizes the focus of our parish -- to
"know" what it means to be "true man" in the light of our Creator's love, and to
enter into communion with Him through the liturgical, ascetical, and interior
life of our Orthodox Christian Faith.
