Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, Metropolis of New Jersey 7004 Ridge Avenue & Mill Road, Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey Holy Trinity Herald November 2014 Nektarios the Wonderworker Bishop of Pentapolis Saint Nectarius was born in Selyvria of Thrace on October 1, 1846. After putting himself through school in Constantinople with much hard labour, he became a monk on Chios in 1876, receiving the monastic name of Lazarus; because of his virtue, a year later he was ordained deacon, receiving the new name of Nectarius. Under the patronage of Patriarch Sophronius of Alexandria, Nectarius went to Athens to study in 1882; completing his theological studies in 1885, he went to Alexandria, where Patriarch Sophronius ordained him priest on March 23, 1886 in the Cathedral of Saint Sabbas, and in August of the same year, in the Church of Saint Nicholas in Cairo, made him Archimandrite. Archimandrite Nectarius showed much zeal both for preaching the word of God, and for the beauty of God's house. He greatly beautified the Church of Saint Nicholas in Cairo, and years later, when Nectarius was in Athens, Saint Nicholas appeared to him in a dream, embracing him and telling him he was going to exalt him very high. On January 15, 1889, in the same Church of Saint Nicholas, Nectarius was consecrated Metropolitan of the Pentapolis in eastern Libya, which was under the jurisdiction of Alexandria. Although Nectarius' swift ascent through the degrees of ecclesiastical office did not affect his modesty and childlike innocence, it aroused the envy of lesser men, who convinced the elderly Sophronius that Nectarius had it in his heart to become Patriarch. Since the people loved Nectarius, the Patriarch was troubled by the slanders. On May 3, 1890, Sophronius relieved Metropolitan Nectarius of his duties; in July of the same year, he commanded Nectarius to leave Egypt. Without seeking to avenge or even to defend himself, the innocent Metropolitan left for Athens, where he found that accusations of immorality had arrived before him. Because his good name had been soiled, he was unable to find a position worthy of a bishop, and in February of 1891 accepted the position of provincial preacher in Euboia; then, in 1894, he was appointed dean of the Rizarios Ecclesiastical School in Athens. Through his eloquent sermons his unwearying labours to educate fitting men for the priesthood, his generous alms deeds despite his own poverty, and the holiness, meekness, and fatherly love that were manifest in him, he became a shining light and a spiritual guide to many. At the request of certain pious women, in 1904 he began the building of his convent of the Holy Trinity on the island of Aegina while yet dean of the Rizarios School; finding later that his presence there was needed, he took up his residence on Aegina in 1908, where he spent the last years of his life, devoting himself to the direction of his convent and to very intense prayer; he was sometimes seen lifted above the ground while rapt in prayer. He became the protector of all Aegina, through his prayers delivering the island from drought, healing the sick, and casting out demons. Here also he endured wicked slanders with singular patience, forgiving his false accusers and not seeking to avenge himself. Although he had already worked wonders in life, an innumerable multitude of miracles have been wrought after his repose in 1920 through his holy relics, which for many years remained incorrupt. There is hardly a malady that has not been cured through his prayers; but Saint Nectarius is especially renowned for his healings of cancer for sufferers in all parts of the world.

Page 13 F.H. Rental Page 14 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, we will continue 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. November’s Plateia night will be on Thursday, November 20th from 6:00 to 7:00 pm. 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.
