The theological significance of the Nativity Apart from being a historical event, the Birth of Christ is the ‘great mystery of godliness’ (I Tim. 3, 16). What exactly is this mystery? The fact that ‘God appeared in the flesh’ (I Tim. 3, 16), that He became a human person. ‘The mystery hidden for long ages past, but now revealed’ (16, 25). Essentially, this is the mystery of our salvation, which is performed and wrought by the Son of God Himself, Who became human precisely to save the whole of our race from ‘servitude to the enemy’. Through His coming into the world, the Son of God unites with us and saves us: on the one hand, human nature is united to ...
The bioethic work of medical philosopher Hippocrates as the father of medical science and health sciences in Ancient Greece during the 5th century BC is considered very important and topical in today’s reality.

In this distant but like fairy-tale environment and under the shadow of the historic plane tree, the medical philosopher spent the summer hours writing his books and teaching his disciples. This man of wisdom was destined to become the pride of the island, and afterwards of the ...
An Encyclical for New Year’s Day Let us sit and talk for a moment. Let us discuss our sorrows and our troubles. Let us reminisce about the days of old, as well as the most recent past. If we could go back 200 years, we would come across the so-called Old Man of the Morea, the Greek General Theodoros Kolokotronis. Let us pay careful attention to what he would tell us. Can you hear him? This is what he would say: “God has signed in favour of Greece’s freedom and He does not take back His signature.” A handful of brave young men took an oath: freedom or death. For the Holy Faith of Christ. For the freedom of the homeland. For the ...
