With the handing-back of the great feast, yesterday saw the completion of forty days after Easter, and today our Holy Church celebrates the joyous event of Our Lord Jesus Christ’s glorious Ascension into heaven. In other words, we celebrate His return to the right hand of our God and Father. Therefore today is one of the twelve feasts of the Lord. It was for the good of the disciples that the Lord ascended, because otherwise the Spirit would not have descended upon them, since He is the Spirit of the Word and dwells in ...

Romiosyni isn’t an intellectual ideology, nor it is merely a reference to the past. It’s an authentic and true experience, which many people still live today, since they’re in tune with aparticular attitude to life. This is a way of life radically different from the Frankish model and was lived not only in monasteries and places where ascetics dwelt, but also in the social milieu. The representatives and spokesmen for this way of life were the confessors of the faith, the holy Fathers who lived with the people and who have left us their writing as a legacy; the martyrs who bore witness and suffered death for the glory of God; the holy ascetics who strove against the passions and ...

‘God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.’ The Ascension is the last event in Christ’s earthly life. Of course, Pentecost is the fulfilment of God’s dispensation, which is why is called ‘the last feast’. God the Father was well pleased to see man as he had conceived him before the foundation of the world and sent the Holy Spirit to the world to seal man’s reconciliation with God.
