SUNDAY OF ORTHODOXY On this day, the first Lord’s Day of Lent, we make commemoration of the restoration of the holy and venerable icons Ἀπολυτίκιa Dismissal Hymns Τὸν συνάναρχον Λόγον Πατρὶ καὶ Πνεύματι, τὸν ἐκ Παρθένου τεχθέντα εἰς σωτηρίαν ἡμῶν, ἀνυμνήσωμεν πιστοὶ καὶ προσκυνήσωμεν· ὅτι ηὐδόκησε σαρκί, ἀνελθεῖν ἐν τῷ σταυρῷ, καὶ θάνατον ὑπομεῖναι, καὶ ἐγεῖραι τοὺς τεθνεῶτας, ἐν τῇ ἐνδόξῳ Ἀναστάσει αὐτοῦ. The Co-Eternal Logos with Father and Spirit, * who from the Virgin was born for the salvation of us, * let us sing a hymn of praise and worship. * For He suffered in the flesh, * being raised upon the Cross and death He endured; * and raising the dead, * in the glory of His Resurrection. Ἦχος βʹ. Mode 2. Ἦχος πλ. α΄. Τὴν ἄχραντον εἰκόνα σου προσκυνοῦμεν Ἀγαθέ, αἰτούμενοι συγχώρησιν τῶν πταισμάτων ἡμῶν, Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός· βουλήσει γὰρ ηὐδόκησας σαρκὶ ἀνελθεῖν ἐν τῷ Σταυρῷ, ἵνα ρύσῃ οὓς ἔπλασας ἐκ τῆς δουλείας τοῦ ἐχθροῦ· ὅθεν εὐχαρίστως βοῶμέν σοι· Χαρᾶς ἐπλήρωσας τὰ πάντα ὁ Σωτὴρ ἡμῶν, παραγενόμενος εἰς τὸ σῶσαι τὸν κόσμον. Ἦχος δ΄. Σήμερον τῆς σωτηρίας ἡμῶν τὸ κεφάλαιον, καὶ τοῦ ἀπ’ αἰῶνος μυστηρίου ἡ φανέρωσις· ὁ Υἷός του Θεοῦ, υἱὸς τῆς Παρθένου γίνεται, καὶ Γαβριὴλ τὴν χάριν εὐαγγελίζεται. Διὸ καὶ ἡμεῖς σὺν αὐτῷ, τῇ Θεοτόκῳ βοήσωμεν· Χαῖρε Κεχαριτωμένη, ὁ Κύριος μετά σοῦ. Mode pl. 1. We venerate Your immaculate image, O good Lord, entreating for forgiveness of our offences, O Christ our God. By Your own choice you were well-pleased to ascend the Cross in the flesh, to deliver those whom you had fashioned from their slavery to the foe. Therefore with thanksgiving we cry to you: You have filled all things with joy, O our Savior, by coming to save the world. Mode 4. Today is the summary of our salvation, and the revelation of the age-old mystery. For the Son of God becomes the Son of the Virgin, and Gabriel announces the good news of grace. Therefore, let us join him, and cry aloud to the Theotokos: “Rejoice, Maiden full of grace! The Lord is with you.ʺ SUNDAY • 1 MARCH 2015 3 Κοντάκιον Ἦχος πλ. δ΄.

O Champion General, I your City now inscribe to you * triumphant anthems as the tokens of my gratitude, * being rescued from the terrors, O Theotokos. * Inasmuch as you have power unassailable, * from all kinds of perils free me so that unto you * I may cry aloud: Rejoice, O Bride unwedded. Ἀπόστολος Epistle Ἀ Ἑβρ. ια΄ 24-26, 32-40 δελφοί, πίστει Μωϋσῆς μέγας γενόμενος ἠρνήσατο λέγεσθαι υἱὸς θυγατρὸς Φαραώ, μᾶλλον ἑλόμενος συγκακουχεῖσθαι τῷ λαῷ τοῦ θεοῦ ἢ πρόσκαιρον ἔχειν ἁμαρτίας ἀπόλαυσιν, μείζονα πλοῦτον ἡγησάμενος τῶν Αἰγύπτου θησαυρῶν τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἀπέβλεπεν γὰρ εἰς τὴν μισθαποδοσίαν. Καὶ τί ἔτι λέγω; ἐπιλείψει με γὰρ διηγούμενον ὁ χρόνος περὶ Γεδεών, Βαράκ, Σαμψών, Ἰεφθάε, Δαυίδ τε καὶ Σαμουὴλ καὶ τῶν προφητῶν, οἳ διὰ πίστεως κατηγωνίσαντο βασιλείας, εἰργάσαντο δικαιοσύνην, ἐπέτυχον ἐπαγγελιῶν, ἔφραξαν στόματα λεόντων, ἔσβεσαν δύναμιν πυρός, ἔφυγον στόματα μαχαίρης, ἐδυναμώθησαν ἀπὸ ἀσθενείας, ἐγενήθησαν ἰσχυροὶ ἐν πολέμῳ, παρεμβολὰς ἔκλιναν ἀλλοτρίων· ἔλαβον γυναῖκες ἐξ ἀναστάσεως τοὺς νεκροὺς αὐτῶν· ἄλλοι δὲ ἐτυμπανίσθησαν, οὐ προσδεξάμενοι τὴν ἀπολύτρωσιν, ἵνα κρείττονος ἀναστάσεως τύχωσιν· ἕτεροι δὲ ἐμπαιγμῶν καὶ μαστίγων πεῖραν ἔλαβον, ἔτι δὲ δεσμῶν καὶ φυλακῆς· ἐλιθάσθησαν, ἐπρίσθησαν, ἐν φόνῳ μαχαίρης ἀπέθανον, περιῆλθον ἐν μηλωταῖς, ἐν αἰγείοις δέρμασιν, ὑστερούμενοι, θλιβόμενοι, κακουχούμενοι, ὧν οὐκ ἦν ἄξιος ὁ κόσμος, ἐπὶ ἐρημίαις πλανώμενοι καὶ ὄρεσιν καὶ σπηλαίοις καὶ ταῖς ὀπαῖς τῆς γῆς. Καὶ οὗτοι πάντες μαρτυρηθέντες διὰ τῆς πίστεως οὐκ ἐκομίσαντο τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν, τοῦ θεοῦ περὶ ἡμῶν κρεῖττόν τι προβλεψαμένου, ἵνα μὴ χωρὶς ἡμῶν τελειωθῶσιν. B Hebrews 11:24–26, 32–40 rethren, by faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, received promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched raging fire, escaped the edge of the sword, won strength out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign enemies to flight. Women received their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, that they might rise again to a better life. Others suffered mocking and scourging, and even chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword; they went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, ill-treated — of whom the world was not worthy — wandering over deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. And all these, though well attested by their faith, did not receive what was promised, since God had foreseen something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

Ἦν δὲ ὁ Φίλιππος ἀπὸ Βηθσαϊδά, ἐκ τῆς πόλεως Ἀνδρέου καὶ Πέτρου. Εὑρίσκει Φίλιππος τὸν Ναθαναὴλ καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ, ὃν ἔγραψεν Μωϋσῆς ἐν τῷ νόμῳ καὶ οἱ προφῆται εὑρήκαμεν, Ἰησοῦν υἱὸν τοῦ Ἰωσὴφ τὸν ἀπὸ Ναζαρέτ. Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ναθαναήλ, Ἐκ Ναζαρὲτ δύναταί τι ἀγαθὸν εἶναι; λέγει αὐτῷ Φίλιππος, Ἔρχου καὶ ἴδε. Εἶδεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τὸν Ναθαναὴλ ἐρχόμενον πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ λέγει περὶ αὐτοῦ, Ἴδε ἀληθῶς Ἰσραηλίτης ἐν ᾧ δόλος οὐκ ἔστιν. Λέγει αὐτῷ Ναθαναήλ, Πόθεν με γινώσκεις; ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Πρὸ τοῦ σε Φίλιππον φωνῆσαι ὄντα ὑπὸ τὴν συκῆν εἶδόν σε. Ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ Ναθαναήλ, Ῥαββί, σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ, σὺ βασιλεὺς εἶ τοῦ Ἰσραήλ. Ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Ὅτι εἶπόν σοι ὅτι εἶδόν σε ὑποκάτω τῆς συκῆς πιστεύεις; μείζω τούτων ὄψῃ. Καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ, Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ὄψεσθε τὸν οὐρανὸν ἀνεῳγότα καὶ τοὺς ἀγγέλους τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀναβαίνοντας καὶ καταβαίνοντας ἐπὶ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου. G A t that time, Jesus decided to go to Galilee. And he found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.” Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael, and he said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!” Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the son of God! You are the King of Israel!” Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You shall see greater things than these.” And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.” od created man out of visible and invisible nature with his own hands according to the image and likeness, forming the body from the earth and through his own breathing upon it giving it a rational and intellectual soul, which we call the divine image. That which is “according to the image” is manifest in the intellect and free will. That which is “according to the likeness” is manifest in such likeness in virtue as is possible. St. John of Damascus “Let my prayer rise as incense before You . . . And the lifting up of my hands, as an evening sacrifice.” Let my prayer rise as incense before You Lenten Pre-Sanctified Liturgies Inter-parish prayer and fellowship on the following dates: Wednesday, March 4, 2015 Annunciation Cathedral Chapel, 162 Goddard Ave. Brookline, MA—6 pm Wednesday, March 18, 2015 Taxiarchae/Archangels Church, 25 Bigelow Ave., Watertown, MA—6 pm Wednesday, April 1, 2015 St. Catherine Church, 119 Common Street, Braintree, MA—6 pm Please note: Wednesdays—February 25, March 11, and March 25— services will be held at home parishes.

Zetes rayer is, indeed, a great good, beneficial, and preserves our souls. But prayer is great when we act in line with our prayers and do not undermine by our behavior the very thing for which we pray. And you, too, therefore, when you go to the priest, and he says to you, “The Lord will have mercy on you, my child,” do not trust in the word only but add works to your trust. Mercy is an excellent thing! Why, then, haven’t you shown it to another?

Το «Ωρολόγιο» της Εκκλησίας γράφει: Για εκατό και πλέον χρόνια διαταράχθηκε η Εκκλησία με διωγμούς από κακοδόξους εικονομάχους. Πρώτος υπήρξε ο αυτοκράτορας Λέων ο Ίσαυρος και τελευταίος ο Θεόφιλος, άνδρας της Αγίας Θεοδώρας, η οποία μετά το θάνατο του συζύγου της ανέλαβε την εξουσία και στερέωσε πάλι την Ορθοδοξία μαζί με τον Πατριάρχη Μεθόδιο. Η Βασίλισσα Θεοδώρα διακήρυξε δημόσια ότι ασπαζόμεθα τις Εικόνες, όχι λατρευτικά, ούτε ως Θεούς, αλλά ως εικόνες των αρχετύπων. Την πρώτη Κυριακή των νηστειών το έτος 843, η Θεοδώρα μαζί με το γιό της αυτοκράτορα Μιχαήλ, λιτάνευσαν και ανεστήλωσαν τις άγιες εικόνες μαζί με τον κλήρο και το λαό. Από τότε 1 Μαρτίου εορτάζουμε κάθε χρόνο την ανάμνηση αυτού του γεγονότος γιατί καθορίσθηκε οριστικά ότι δεν λατρεύουμε τις Εικόνες, αλλά τιμούμε και δοξάζουμε όλους τους Αγίους που εικονίζουν και λατρεύουμε μόνο τον εν Τριάδι Θεό. Τον Πατέρα, τον Υιό και το Άγιο Πνεύμα και κανένα άλλο είτε Άγιο είτε Άγγελο. DONATIONS / Δωρεές In memory of Anthony Andreadis (Eις μνήμη του Αντωνίου Ανδρεάδη): Mrs. Fotene Andreadis, Mr. & Mrs. James N. Andreadis, Mr. & Mrs. Theodore Andreadis & Family, Dr. Marica Arvanites, Mr. & Mrs. Robert Badavas, Mr. & Mrs. George Delyani, Mrs. Simone Dodge, Mrs. Acrive Geanakakis, Mr. & Mrs. David Geanakakis, Mr. Charles Georgenes, Mr. & Mrs. John Georgountzos, Mr. & Mrs. Vassilios Georgountzos & Family, Miss Pauline Karistianos, Mr. & Mrs. James Kaselis, Mrs. William F. Manley, Mr. & Mrs. James Lemonias, Mrs. Anastasia Moragianni-Angelopoulou, Mr. & Mrs. Nickolas Orphanos, Mr. & Mrs. George Papadopoulos, Mr. & Mars. Peter Salidas, Mrs. Antoinette Stamatos, Mr. & Mrs. Ross Triant, Mr. & Mrs. William Triant, Miss Vasilika Tsucalas. In memory of Anna Maratos (Εις μνήμη της Άννης Μαράτου): Mr. John Debairos The Synodikon A s the Prophets beheld; as the Apostles taught; as the Church received; as the Teachers dogmatized; as the Universe has agreed; as Grace has shone forth; as Truth has been proven; as falsehood has been disproven; as Wisdom has been presented; as Christ has rewarded. This is what we believe; this is what we declare; this is what we preach, Christ our true God, and we honor His Saints in words, in thought, in sacrifices, in Churches and in Icons. Christ, we worship as God and Master, and His Saints we honor as true servants of our same Lord, and accordingly we grant them veneration. This is the Faith of the Apostles! This is the Faith of the Fathers! This is the Faith of the Orthodox! This is the Faith which has established the Universe! Therefore, with brotherly and filial love, we praise these preachers of piety, for the glory and honor of their own pious struggle for the Faith, and we say: “Eternal be the memory of the defenders of Orthodoxy; pious Sovereigns, holy Patriarchs, Hierarchs, Teachers, Martyrs, and Confessors.” Eternal be their memory (3). Let their deeds and struggles of pious faith, even to death, tutor and strengthen you. Entreat God that we may imitate their devout life until our own end, beseeching Him that we may be made worthy of all our askings, by the grace and compassion of the Great and First Hierarch, Christ our true God; by the intercessions of our most glorious Lady Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary, of the godly Angels, and of all the Saints. Amen. 14 ANNUNCIATION GREEK ORTHODOX CATHEDRAL OF NEW ENGLAND Announcements WELCOME TO ALL VISITORS: For those visiting an Orthodox Church for the first time, please be aware that Holy Communion is a sign of unity of faith which is only offered to Baptized or Chrismated Orthodox Christians.
