We believe that the sole ray of hope and optimism concerning the doubtful quality of life of young people today can come only from heaven, from God.

But how did this feast day come to be established on the 1st of October? The historical event behind it is particularly interesting. At the south side of the St. Mary ...

This is also what the Lord did with His disciples: first He cured ordinary ailments, then He expelled demons from people’s souls, then he opened the eyes of the blind, then He restored to health those we were close to death and, finally, He raised the dead, as in the case of Jairus’ daughter and the son of the widow of Nain, as described in today’s Gospel reading. According to Theofanis Keramevs, the Lord ...
