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.

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.
