Saint Demetrios suffered in Thessalonica during the
reign of Galerius Maximian (c. 306). He belonged to one of
the most distinguished families of the province of Macedonia
and was widely admired not only because of his noble
ancestry and grace of bearing, but also for virtue, wisdom and
goodness of heart surpassing that of his elders.
The military expertise of Saint Demetrios led Galerius,
as Caesar of the Eastern Empire, to appoint him commander
of the Roman forces in Thessaly and Proconsul for Hellas.
But for all this, Demetrios remained ever aware of the
underlying realities of life. Since faith in Christ had touched
his heart, all the glory of this world meant nothing to him, and
there was nothing he preferred to teaching and preaching the
word of God.
Despite the persecution directed against Christians by the
Emperor, Saint Demetrios brought a large number of pagans
to the faith. His words convinced them because they saw in
the righteousness, peace and brotherly love that marked his
life an illustration of the truth of which he spoke.
The Emperor Maximian had just won a series of brilliant
victories over the Scythians and was on his way back to Rome
when he halted at Thessalonica to receive the acclamations of
the populace and to offer sacrifices in thanksgiving to the
idols. A number of pagans, envious of the success of the
Saint, took advantage of the Emperor's presence in the city to
denounce Demetrios as a Christian. Maximian's astonishment
gave way to violent indignation when he was told that
Demetrios' was making use of his official position to spread
the faith. Demetrios was summoned and confined in a cell,
located in the basement of nearby baths.
Maximian arranged for games and gladiatorial combats
to take place in the amphitheater of the city. He had brought
with him a man of gigantic stature and Herculean strength
called Lyaios, a Vandal by origin. Such was this man's
strength and skill in single combat that no one could
withstand him. There was in the city a young Christian called
Nestor, who observing the empty pride of the Emperor in the
victories of his champion, made up his mind to show him that
real power belongs to Christ alone. He ran to the baths where
Demetrios was imprisoned and asked for the protection of his
prayer in going to confront the giant. The Martyr made the
sign of the Cross on the brow and the heart of the boy, and
sent him like David before Goliath. He reached the
amphitheater just as the heralds were crying out on all sides
for any who would stand against Lyaios. Advancing towards
the Emperor, Nestor threw his tunic to the ground and
shouted, "God of Demetrios, help me!" In the first encounter,
at the very moment the giant rushed upon him, Nestor slipped
aside and stabbed him to the heart with his dagger. There was
uproar and amazement at the marvel, and people asked
Saint Demetrios
themselves how a mere child, relying neither on strength nor
weapons, could so suddenly have brought down the barbarian.
Rather than yield to the sign of the sovereign power of
God, the Emperor flew into a rage and ordered the immediate
arrest of Nestor and his beheading outside the city. He had
heard Nestor calling upon the God of Demetrios and,
supposing the Saint had used some kind of witchcraft,
Maximian ordered his soldiers to go and thrust Demetrios
through with their lances, without trial, in the depths of his
prison cell. There were some Christians, including Demetrios'
servant Lupus, present at his martyrdom, and when the
soldiers had gone, they reverently buried the Saint's body.
It was God's will that the grace with which He filled Saint
Demetrios should remain active even after his death. This is
why He caused to flow from his body a myron with a
delightful scent, which had the property of healing all who
took it as an unction, with faith in the intercession of the
Saint. Time and again, during sixteen hundred years, Saint
Demetrios has given proof of his benevolent care for the city
of Thessalonica and its inhabitants. He has defended them
from the attacks of barbarians, he has preserved them from
plague and famine, healed the sick and comforted the
afflicted.

PHILOPTOCHOS BID N BUY NEWS & WISH LIST
Dear Parishioners,
Philoptochos’ annual Bid N Buy will be held Saturday, November 1,
2014.
We are starting to collect donations because we need extra time this
year to make the baskets due to the unavailability of some of our
members. If anyone, is creative and can help please let me know.
Remember, our wish list is not set in stone. We will accept anything
even if it is not on the list. We only ask that it be new and in its original
packaging. If you do not have time or do not know what to donate, we
can do the shopping for you with a cash donation. Since our event is
being held in November, hopefully it will give everyone a little more
time to help us with the donations.
If you have any questions, I am usually at church or you may contact
me at [email protected]
Thank you for your help,
Elaine Thanasoulis

Plateia Night
One or two hours per week of Greek School is not enough. Add to the task of learning the language the fact
that there are games, songs, dances and foods which round-out the Greek experience we would like the kids
exposed to, and it seems impossible to make any meaningful progress. So, this year, starting Thursday, October 16th, we will have a Plateia Night ('a night in village square'), where many of these things are learned by
young visitors to Greece.
It is open to all students and their parents, and will feature a variety of activities, with the goal of giving the
kids a venue to use some of the Greek they are learning. We will do songs,
games, cartoons, dances, and may even have some Greek sweets. Ask the
children what they have enjoyed the most over the last few years of Greek
School, and your answer will likely include some of the extra-curricular
things.
Please see the monthly Herald and weekly newsletter for the upcoming
Plateia Nights.
MODERN GREEK
Many people have lamented missed opportunities to learn the Greek language. Others often want to learn, but
have no recourse but to use little more than Rosetta Stone. Still others have children learning the language,
and would like to keep pace with them. This course is designed for anyone and everyone in those categories;
specifically those with little or no experience with Greek.
We will be starting from 'alpha;' a total beginner's course. Our objective is to be increasingly able to speak,
write and read.
There is currently no textbook required. Please see the monthly Herald and weekly newsletter for the upcoming
days that this class is offered.
BIBLICAL GREEK
Have you ever looked at the Liturgy books in church, and wondered what was written on the Greek pages on the
left? Or tried listening to the choir, chanters or gospel, only to tune out the Greek parts? Most of us have and do.
To better understand the Greek used in church and the Bible, there will be a Biblical Greek class offered at
church. The goal of the class is to focus on the language used, and not the content/message (we have Bible Study
for that).
Koine /kee NEE/. This form of Greek is not only the language of the New Testament, the Church Fathers and
most of the Divine, it was widely spoken by Greeks and non-Greeks alike throughout the Greek and Roman
worlds; the lingua franca of its day.
The hope is to demystify this Greek, and to make more accessible both the language and , through it, the church
experience. The class will be taught under the assumption that students know little to nothing of Greek (though
all are welcome).
Please see the monthly Herald and weekly newsletter for the upcoming days that this class is offered.
