MARCH 20TH THE SUNDAY OF
ORTHODOXY (BRING YOUR ICON TO
CHURCH DAY)
The Sunday of Orthodoxy celebrates the
establishment of Orthodoxy anew, the
triumph of the true doctrine over
heresy, when the icon of the Mother of
God was venerated in the presence of
Patriarch Methodis by Empress Theodora
and her son proclaiming:
“If anyone does not offer relative
worship to the Hoy Icons, not adorning
them as they were gods, but venerating
them out of love as images of the
archetype, let him be anathema.”
To commemorate this triumph, we invite
everyone to bring their icons to church,
have it blessed and proceed to walk
around our church processional in
remembrance of the rightful veneration
of icons to the church.
We would like to inform you that
the children of the Greek School,
with the help of their teacher
Mrs. Alexandra, will be presenting
a beautiful program for the March
25 Greek Independence Day
Celebration on Sunday, March
27th,
after
church
services
downstairs in our church hall.
Please come to this performance
and make them proud and happy
on this day.

Message from Father Angelo
Great Lent is a period of time when the people are more conscious of their spiritual character. The passages of the Gospels and the Epistles, the
hymnology and prayers, the spirit of the Church – all endeavor to help the Christian cleanse himself spiritually through repentance. “Repent” is the
first word Jesus Christ spoke in His proclamation to the people, as the epitome of His Gospel. Repentance is the main motivation of the Christian
which acts to free him from sin. One’s recognition of his sin, his contrition over it and lastly his decision to make an about-face change of his
attitude are the steps of repentance. For one can learn to recognize iniquities from the Bible and the teachings of the Church. During the period of
Lent the Christian is called to self-examination and self-control by the radiance of the Event of the Resurrection of Christ. This is why the Church
designated such a period of time be observed before this great feast day.
Fasting in its religious setting is abstinence from food, always in relation to a religious event or feast. Fasting in itself has no meaning in the
Christian Church, but has a role in the attainment of Christian virtues. It is not to be accepted as a mere custom without a spiritual purpose. Fasting
is understood as a means of temperance and sobriety, especially in relation to prayer, devotion and purity. It is also understood to be related to
giving alms to the poor. The roots of fasting in the Christian Church are to be found in the Old Testament and the Jewish religion, both for certain
days and certain foods. As a general rule, fasting precedes a religious feast. Many verses in the Old Testament refer to this.
In continuation of the practice of fasting, the Christian Church determined the period of Lent to depend upon the great Feast of Easter, as set forth
by the First Ecumenical Synod in 325. The Church determined the day on which the Resurrection of Christ would be celebrated, according to the
conditions that existed at the time of this Event. Thus, the Synod set forth that the great Feast of Easter would be celebrated on the first Sunday,
after the full moon, after the Spring Equinox (March 21), and always after the Jewish Passover. Thus, this great Feast is a moveable date in the
calendar. Therefore, Great Lent, which depends upon the date of Easter, also is moveable, each year being celebrated on a different date,
(Sunday), depending on the above conditions.
The four weeks which precede Great Lent are considered preparatory, a forerunner to Lent. These four weeks, along with the eight weeks of Lent,
are characterized by the Church as Triodion, meaning “thrice-hymns”, a name which has no bearing on the substance of Lent itself.
Spiritual love in the Lord Jesus Christ
Father Angelo J. Michaels, Protopresbyter
Η Ανακοίνωση του Πρωτοπρεσβυτέρου
Η Μεγάλη Σαρακοστή είναι μια περίοδος όταν οι άνθρωποι έχουν συναίσθηση του πνευματικού τους χαρακτήρα. Το Ευαγγέλιο, οι Επιστολές, η υμνολογία και οι
προσευχές προσπαθούν να βοηθήσουν τους ανθρώπους να καθαρίσουν τον εαυτό του πνευματικά μέσω της μετάνοιας. "Μετανοείτε" είναι η πρώτη λέξη του
Ιησού Χριστού στη διακήρυξή του προς το λαό, ως η επιτομή του Ευαγγελίου Του. Η μετάνοια είναι το κύριο κίνητρο μας, η οποία ενεργεί για να μας ελευθερώσει
από την αμαρτία. Η αναγνώριση και η συντριβή της αμαρτίας μαζί με την απόφαση για την αλλαγή, είναι τα στάδια της μετάνοιας. Κατά την περίοδο της
Σαρακοστής, Ο Χριστός μας καλεί στην αυτοεξέταση και στον αυτο-έλεγχο από την ακτινοβολία της Αναστάσεως του Χριστού. Αυτός είναι ο λόγος που η Εκκλησία
έχει οριστεί να παρατηρηθεί ένα τέτοιο χρονικό διάστημα πριν από αυτή τη μεγάλη γιορτή.
Η νηστεία στην θρησκεία είναι η αποχή από το φαγητό, πάντα σε σχέση με μια θρησκευτική εκδήλωση ή γιορτή. Η νηστεία από μόνη της δεν έχει κανένα νόημα
στην Χριστιανική Εκκλησία, αλλά έχει ένα ρόλο στην επίτευξη των χριστιανικών αρετών. Αυτό δεν πρέπει να δεχτεί ως ένα έθιμο χωρίς πνευματικό σκοπό. Η
νηστεία είναι ένα μέσο εγκράτειας και νηφαλιότητα, κυρίως σε σχέση με την προσευχή, την αφοσίωση και την καθαρότητα. Επίσης σχετίζεται με ελεημοσύνη στους
φτωχούς. Οι ρίζες της νηστείας στη χριστιανική Εκκλησία βρίσκονται στην Παλαιά Διαθήκη και την Εβραϊκή θρησκεία, για ορισμένες ημέρες και ορισμένα τρόφιμα.
Κατά γενικό κανόνα, η νηστεία προηγείται μια θρησκευτική γιορτή. Πολλοί στίχοι της Παλαιάς Διαθήκης αναφέρονται σε αυτό.
H Χριστιανική Εκκλησία καθόρισε την περίοδο της Σαρακοστής να εξαρτάται από τη μεγάλη γιορτή του Πάσχα, όπως ορίζεται από την Πρώτη Οικουμενική Σύνοδο
το 325. Επίσης καθορήστηκε η ημέρα κατά την οποία θα εορτάζεται η Ανάσταση του Χριστού , σύμφωνα με τις συνθήκες που υπήρχαν κατά τη διάρκεια αυτού του
γεγονότος. Έτσι, η Σύνοδος ορίζεται ότι η μεγάλη γιορτή του Πάσχα θα εορτάζεται την πρώτη Κυριακή μετά την πανσέληνο, μετά την Εαρινή Ισημερία, και πάντα
μετά το Πάσχα των Εβραίων. Έτσι, αυτή η μεγάλη γιορτή είναι κινητή ημερομηνία στο ημερολόγιο. Ως εκ τούτου, η Μεγάλη Σαρακοστή, η οποία εξαρτάται από την
ημερομηνία του Πάσχα, επίσης, είναι κινητή, κάθε χρόνο γιορτάζεται σε διαφορετική ημερομηνία,, ανάλογα με τις παραπάνω προϋποθέσεις.

Οι τέσσερις εβδομάδες που προηγούνται την Μεγάλη Σαρακοστή θεωρούνται προπαρασκευαστικές, σαν ένας πρόδρομος για την Σαρακοστή. Αυτές οι τέσσερις
εβδομάδες μαζί με τις οκτώ εβδομάδες της Σαρακοστής, χαρακτηρίζονται από την Εκκλησία ως Τριώδιο, ένα όνομα το οποίο δεν έχει καμία σχέση με την ουσία της
Σαρακοστής η ίδια

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Despite all the positive changes we have made in the church over the
last 15 months, there are a few who still cannot bring themselves to be
happy our church is thriving. To those, I convey the sermon of St.
Paisios:
St. Paisios: Be the Bee and not the Fly
Be the Bee- Some people tell me that they are scandalized because
they see many things wrong in the Church. I tell them that if you ask a
fly, “Are there any flowers in this area?” it will say, “I don’t know about
flowers, but over there in that heap of rubbish you can find all the filth
you want.” And it will go on to list all the unclean things it has been to.
Now, if you ask a honeybee, “Have you seen any unclean things in this
area?” it will reply, “Unclean things? No, I have not seen any; the place
here is full of the most fragrant flowers.” And it will go on to name all
the flowers of the garden or the meadow.
You see, the fly only knows where the unclean things are, while the
honeybee knows where the beautiful iris or hyacinth is.
As I have come to understand, some people resemble the honeybee and
some resemble the fly. Those who resemble the fly seek to find evil in
every circumstance and are preoccupied with it; they see no good
anywhere. But those who resemble the honeybee only see the good in
everything they see. The stupid person thinks stupidly and takes
everything in the wrong way, whereas the person who has good
thoughts, no matter what he sees, no matter what you tell him,
maintains a positive and good thought.
St. Paisios of Mt. Athos, “Good and Evil Thoughts,” Spiritual Counsels
III: Spiritual Struggle.
So next time you hear someone speak ill of our church tell them to be a
BEE and Not a FLY.

Parish Council
"SATURDAY
OF SOULS"
You are encouraged to submit the names of family and friends who have passed to Father Michaels, for the special
general memorial services conducted on four designated Saturdays called "Saturdays of the Souls." (Psiho sabbadon).
This year three of those Saturdays fall on: Pre-Great Lent then during Great Lent dates of: Saturday, March 5, 12 and
19.
Parishes are encouraged to offer this cycle of services (akolouthia) and ensure they have enough kollyva (boiled
wheat) to offer for the memorial of all those who have gone before us. This year we will be sending offering
envelopes for the return of names of the dead for whom you wish Father to say prayers. We ask respectfully, that
you return your names on the sheet enclosed along with a donation to the church to continue the services that occur
of these three Saturdays during Lent for your loved ones. There is no set amount. Please give as your heart dictates.
On April 9th at 10 AM Father Michaels, along with members of the Parish Council and GOYA, will visit Alpine Cemetery
in Perth Amboy to conduct a Memorial Service. Small icons of St. Demetrios will then be put on the graves of
parishioners of our church who have fallen asleep to honor their memories. All are invited to attend.
Fasting During the Great Lent NISTEIA
Orthodox Christians should practice fasting during the Great Lent. During these periods, certain foods are prohibited. These are,
in order of frequency of prohibition, meat (including poultry), dairy products, fish, olive oil and wine. Fruits, vegetables, grains
and shellfish are permitted throughout the year. Of course, the Orthodox Church never reduces the practice of fasting to a
legalistic observance of dietary rules. Fasting that is not accompanied by intensified prayer and acts of charity, inevitably
becomes a source of pride. The Church also recognizes that not everyone can fast to the same degree, and assumes that
individual Christians will observe the fast prescribed for them by their spiritual fathers.
This year our Church will encourage fasting when you can along with works of charity and daily prayers with your prayer rope
saying the Jesus prayer 10 minutes a day.
a) All Wednesdays and Fridays, except for those noted below;
b) The day before the Feast of Theophany (January 5);
c) Cheesefare Week (the last week before the Great Lent, during which meat and fish are prohibited, but dairy products are
permitted even on Wednesday and Friday);
d) Great Lent (from Clean Monday through the Friday before Lazarus Saturday, olive oil and wine are permitted on weekends)
Father Michaels to Retire
A retirement lunch is currently being planned for May 15 at the church-details to follow.

Father and Presbytera will continue to live in Woodbridge and will always be beloved members of our
church.

After almost 20 years here at St. Demetrios, and 35 years of faithful service to the Church, Father Angelo
Michaels has announced his retirement from full time service.
WALL OF LOVE
For a limited time, commemorative bricks will be available for a Meditation Garden at St. Demetrios Church. Bricks with the names of current family,
or those who have passed, will adorn the wall next to the new mosaic of Archangel Gabriel. Honor a beloved family member, or pay tribute to a
friend or mentor. The bricks are precision engraved to last a lifetime.
Since 1917, when St. Demetrios opened its doors, it has been a place of worship for the central New Jersey Orthodox faithful. This meditation garden
will overlook the water of the Raritan Bay surrounded by the history of our present and past loved ones. Their memories shall truly be eternal in this
most special area. Adorning the garden will be the mosaic of St. Gabriel.
Gabriel, One of Seven Archangels. The name Gabriel means God is Strong, God is powerful, God is mighty.
Gabriel, the Greatest of all Messengers
Gabriel was chosen as the special angel who had the sole privilege of carrying the message of the prophet who would go before the Lord to prepare
his way, “to prepare a people fit for the Lord” (Lk 1:17), John the Baptist. Gabriel’s most privileged duty was to announce the birth of Jesus (Lk 1:31),
the Son of the Most High, the one who would take the throne of David, who would rule over the house of Jacob, whose kingdom would never end,
the Son of God. No other angel has ever brought such an important announcement. Gabriel stands alone as the greatest of all angelic messengers.
The entrance portico has a limited number of premium bricks available in two sizes.
Support for the Meditation garden provides:
1).The first outdoor prayer location for parishioners to speak with God in a natural setting.
2). Preserve as a reminder those beloved members of our church that have gone to be with the Lord but forever in our memories.
3). Plans for landscaping in preservation of our Church Public appearance

PRAYER
ROPES
This Lenten season, take 10 minutes out, per day, for the next 40
days, until the Resurrection and say the Jesus prayer for 10 minutes
a day.
It will not be easy. It will take concentration, dedication and focus
that you may not be used to. That is one way the prayer rope will
help you by focusing your prayers knot by knot for 10 minutes on
your prayers asking our Lord Jesus Christ to have mercy upon us.
Think how much more meaningful the resurrection will be this year
AFTER you have fasted and Prayed to our Lord with sincerity and
humility during the time of His passion for us.
Prayer ropes will be on sale at the church off for $10 @piece. They are made by Greek Orthodox nuns from Greece. All proceeds will be donated to the monastery.
