Father Christos’ Message
Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ,
We wish you a blessed New Year,
A new year has dawned upon all creation. Is it by accident that the God of the
Christians has been revealed to us in three Persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit?
Each Person God; not three Gods but One God, in three Persons. Why not just one
God, but one time appearing as the son and another time as the spirit and perhaps
other times the same God appearing with different names? Leaving aside the
dogmatic implications (heresy) of this last statement which the world loves to teach
in our days let us see why our God who is a Great God like no other god and does
great and wondrous things has revealed Himself to us in three Persons. First and
above all things to teach us that love can only be true and useful when it is directed
towards another person. Love that is directed towards self only is false, selfish,
inactive, produces no response, does no good to society, expresses pride, and falls
short of the Gospel message. Basically, love directed to me is sinful. The second
teaching we receive from our Triadic God is communion of Persons. There is perfect
communion among the three Persons of the Holy Trinity. Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit ' Who desire to sit at the same table'. There is nothing that One Person would
do without the Other Two having knowledge of it. We know that most of the
problems in the world are due to miscommunication or rather no communication at
all. Divorces have their beginning and end with the issue of no vital communication
between husband and wife; each person remains in its own corner away from the
'common table'. Going forward let us learn the third lesson which is unity. The three
Persons of the Holy Trinity are united in mind, action, purpose, and will. What a
powerful lesson when we hear in the Divine Liturgy, "Let us love one another that
with one mind we may confess....." "The Triadic God of one essence and
undivided". The Lord Jesus Christ prayed in Gethsemane for His disciples to remain
united. Unity is a very vital part of Christian mission, vision, and life. No country,
city, community, or family can survive the attacks of the evil one being separated
from each other. There is power in unity. "United we stand, separated we fall" is a
classic reminder.
And now let me mention the last lesson that we ought to learn from our Triadic
God. Also I would like to tell you what prompted me to write this message. An
older Parishioner gave me the following saying: This is a story about four men
named "EVERYBODY, SOMEBODY, ANYBODY, and NOBODY.
THERE WAS AN IMPORTANT JOB TO BE DONE, AND EVERYBODY
WAS ASKED TO DO IT. EVERYBODY WAS SURE THAT SOMEBODY
WOULD DO IT...ANYBODY COULD HAVE DONE IT, BUT NOBODY
DID IT. SOMEBODY GOT ANGRY ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE IT WAS
EVERYBODY'S JOB. EVERYBODY THOUGHT THAT ANYBODY
COULD DO IT AND NOBODY REALIZED THAT EVERYBODY
WOULD NOT DO IT. IT ENDED UP THAT EVERYBODY BLAMED
SOMEBODY WHEN ACTUALLY NOBODY BLAMED ANYBODY".
The 'final' lesson is the following. The three Persons of the Holy Trinity share in
the ministry of Love, Unity, and Communion. The love of God the Father is the
source for all that was created; logical and illogical beings. The Son took it upon
Himself to come down from heaven and took flesh from the Virgin Mary in order
to unite mankind to God the Father upon the Cross. And the Holy Spirit is
communicating all divine knowledge to the Church and by sanctifying the
elements used in the Sacraments creates real communion between the baptized
and their Lord Jesus Christ. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit share the 'responsibilities'
in the ministry of salvation. In the same manner we the members of His Body, the
Church, OUGHT TO SHARE THE RESPONSIBILITIES of keeping,
proclaiming, and growing the numbers of the faithful added by the Lord. We need
your hands and feet. We need your minds and hearts. We need your time, talents
and money. We want you to be here, involved and active in any way possible.
Together, with love, in unity and communion much more can be accomplished. A
few hands cannot do it all. We desire good stewards to be involved in the various
ministries of the Parish; Parish Council, Youth Ministries, Philanthropy........... We
cannot stand idle, for the Kingdom of Heaven is taken by force, by action, by
power. Love is the virtue of power; Unity is the result of action; True Communion
is accomplished by forcing ourselves to share our everything with others.
Come and give of yourself to the ministries of your community,
Father Christos
Αγαπητοί Αδελφοί και Αδελφές εν Κυρίω Ιησούν Χριστόν,
Σας ευχόμαστε ένα ευλογημένο Νέο Έτος ,
Ένα νέο έτος έχει ξημερώσει επάνω σε όλη την δημιουργία. Είναι
τυχαίο ότι ο Θεός των Χριστιανών έχει αποκαλυφθεί σε μας σε τρία πρόσωπα•
Πατέρα, Υιό και Άγιο Πνεύμα; Κάθε πρόσωπο του Θεού• όχι τρεις Θεοί, αλλά
Ένας Θεός σε τρία Πρόσωπα. Γιατί δεν είναι μόνο ένας Θεός, αλλά μία φορά
εμφανίζεται ως υιός και άλλη φορά, όπως ως πνεύμα και ίσως και άλλες φορές ο
ίδιος ο Θεός που εμφανίζεται με διαφορετικά ονόματα. Αφήνοντας στην άκρη
τις δογματικές συνέπειες (αίρεση) του τελευταίου ισχυρισμού που ο κόσμος
αγαπά να διδάσκη στις μέρες μας, ας δούμε γιατί ο Θεός μας, που είναι ένας
Μεγάλος Θεός που δεν μοιάζει με κανέναν άλλον θεό και κάνει μεγάλα και
θαυμάσια πράγματα έχει αποκαλυφθεί σε μας σε τρία Πρόσωπα. Πρώτο και
πάνω απ 'όλα τα πράγματα να μας διδάξη ότι η αγάπη μπορεί να είναι αληθινή
και χρήσιμη μόνο όταν απευθύνεται προς ένα άλλο πρόσωπο. Αγάπη που
απευθύνεται προς τον εμάς μόνο είναι λάθος, εγωιστικό, αδρανές, δεν παράγει
καμία απάντηση, δεν κάνει κανένα καλό στην κοινωνία, εκφράζει υπερηφάνεια,
και υπολείπεται του μηνύματος του Ευαγγελίου . Βασικά, η αγάπη απευθύνεται
σε μένα είναι αμαρτωλή. Η δεύτερη διδασκαλία που λαμβάνουμε από Τριαδικό
Θεό μας είναι η σχέση των Προσώπων. Υπάρχει τέλεια πνευματική ένωση
μεταξύ των τριών Προσώπων της Αγίας Τριάδος. Πατρός, του Υιού και του
Αγίου Πνεύματος» που επιθυμούν να καθίσουν στο ίδιο τραπέζι». Δεν υπάρχει
τίποτα που το Ένα Πρόσωπο θα κάνη χωρίς τα άλλα Δύο να το γνωρίζουν.
Γνωρίζουμε ότι τα περισσότερα των προβλημάτων στον κόσμο οφείλονται σε
κακή επικοινωνία ή μάλλον στην παντελή έλλειψη επικοινωνίας. Διαζύγια
αρχίζουν και τελειώνουν λόγω ελλείψεως της απαραίτητης επικοινωνίας μεταξύ
των συζύγων• κάθε άτομο παραμένει στη γωνία του μακριά από το «κοινό
τραπέζι». Συνεχίζοντας, ας μάθουμε το τρίτο μάθημα που είναι η ενότητα. Τα
τρία Πρόσωπα της Αγίας Τριάδος είναι ενωμένα στην σκέψη, ενέργεια, σκοπό
και θέληση. Πόσο δυνατό μάθημα παίρνουμε, όταν ακούμε στη Θεία
Λειτουργία, “Αγαπάτε αλλήλους ίνα εν ομονοία ομολογήσομων". «Ο Τριαδικός
Θεός, ομοούσιος και αδιαίρετος". Ο Κύριος Ιησούς Χριστός προσευχήθηκε στη
Γεθσημανή για τους μαθητές Του να παραμείνουν ενωμένοι. Η ενότητα είναι ένα
πολύ σημαντικό μέρος της Χριστιανικής ιεραποστολής, το όραμα, και η ζωή.
Καμία χώρα, πόλη, κοινότητα ή οικογένεια μπορεί να επιβιώση τις επιθέσεις του
πονηρού όταν απομονωθεί. Υπάρχει δύναμη στην ενότητα. "Ισχύς εν τη ενώσει”
είναι η κλασική υπενθύμιση.
Και τώρα επιτρέψτε μου να αναφέρω ότι το τελευταίο μάθημα που
οφείλουμε να μάθουμε από Τριαδικό μας Θεό. Επίσης, επιτρέψετε με να σας πω
τι με ώθησε να γράψω αυτό το μήνυμα. Ένας ηλικιωμένος ενορίτης μου έδωσε
το ακόλουθο ρητό: . . Αυτή είναι μια ιστορία για τέσσερις άνδρες που
ονομάζονται «ΟΛΟΙ, ΚΑΠΟΙΟΣ, ΟΠΟΙΟΣΔΗΠΟΤΕ, και ΟΥΔΕΙΣ. ΥΠΗΡΧΕ
ΕΝΑ ΣΗΜΑΝΤΙΚΟ ΕΡΓΟ ΝΑ ΓΙΝΕΙ, ΚΑΙ ΖΗΤΗΘΗΚΕ ΑΠΌ ΟΛΟΥΣ ΝΑ
ΤΟ ΚΑΝΟΥΝ. ΟΛΟΙ ΗΤΑΝ ΒΕΒΑΙΟΙ ΟΤΙ ΚΑΠΟΙΟΣ ΘΑ ΤΟ ΕΚΑΝΕ,
ΑΛΛΑ ΚΑΝΕΙΣ ΔΕΝ ΤΟ ΕΚΑΝΕ. ΚΑΠΟΙΟΣ ΕΘΥΜΩΣΕ ΓΙ’ ΑΥΤΟ ΓΙΑΤΙ
ΗΤΑΝ ΕΡΓΑΣΙΑ ΟΛΩΝ. ΟΛΟΙ ΕΝΟΜΙΖΑΝ ΟΤΙ ΚΑΠΟΙΟΣ ΘΑ ΤΟ ΕΚΑΝΕ
ΚΑΙ ΟΥΔΕΙΣ ΑΝΤΙΛΗΦΘΗΚΕ ΟΤΙ ΔΕΝ ΘΑ ΤΟ ΕΚΑΝΕ. ΣΤΟ ΤΕΛΟΣ
ΟΛΟΙ ΘΕΩΡΗΣΑΝ ΥΠΕΥΘΥΝΟ ΟΛΟΥΣ ΕΝΩ ΣΤΗΝ ΠΡΑΓΜΑΤΙΚΟΤΗΑΤ
ΚΑΝΕΙΣ ΔΕΝ ΘΕΩΡΗΣΕ ΚΑΝΕΝΑΝ ΥΠΕΥΘΥΝΟΝ".
Το «τελικό» μάθημα είναι το ακόλουθο. Τα τρία πρόσωπα της Αγίας
Τριάδος μοιράζονται την Αγάπη, Ενότητα και Κοινωνικότητα . Η αγάπη του
Θεού Πατέρα είναι η πηγή για όλα που δημιουργήθηκαν• Λογικό και παράλογο
όντα . Ο Υιός ανέλαβε να κατέβη από τα ουράνια και ενσαρκώθηκε από την
Παρθένο Μαρία , προκειμένου να ενώση την ανθρωπότητα με τον Θεόν Πατέρα
επάνω στον Σταυρόν. Και το Άγιο Πνεύμα μεταφέρει όλη την θείαν γνώση στην
Εκκλησία και καθαγιάζοντας τα στοιχεία που χρησιμοποιούνται στα Μυστήρια
επιτυγχάνει πραγματική κοινωνία μεταξύ των βαπτιζομένων και του Κυρίου
Ιησού Χριστού. Πατήρ, Υιός και Άγιο Πνεύμα μοιράζονται τις «ευθύνες» στο
τμήμα της σωτηρίας. Με τον ίδιο τρόπο που τα μέλη του Σώματός Του, της
Εκκλησίας, ΟΦΕΙΛΟΥΜΕ ΝΑ ΜΟΙΡΑΣΟΥΜΕ ΤΗΝ ΕΥΘΥΝΗ της συνεχούς,
διακηρύξεως , και αυξήσεως του αριθμού των πιστών που προσετέθηκαν από
τον Κύριο. Χρειαζόμαστε τα χέρια και τα πόδια σας. Χρειαζόμαστε τα μυαλά
και τις καρδιές σας . Χρειαζόμαστε χρόνο, ταλέντα και τα χρήματα σας,.
Θέλουμε να είστε εδώ, και να συμμετέχετε και δραστηριοποιείσθε με κάθε
δυνατό τρόπο. Μαζί, με αγάπη, με ενότητα και την κοινωνία μπορούμε να
επιτύχουμε πολύ περισσότερα. Λίγα χέρια δεν μπορούν να τα κάνουν όλα.
Θέλουμε καλούς επιστάτες στις διάφορες λειτουργίες της Ενορίας• Ενοριακό
Συμβούλιο, Δραστηριότητες Νεολαίας, Φιλανθρωπία ........... Δεν μπορεί να
είμεθα αδρανείς, γιατί η Βασιλεία των Ουρανών κατακτάται με τη δύναμη, με
την δράση , και την ισχύ. Η αγάπη είναι η αρετή της ισχύος• Ενότητα είναι το
αποτέλεσμα της δράσεως• Αληθινή Κοινωνίκότητα
επιτυγχάνεται
αναγκάζοντας τον εαυτό μας να μοιράζεται τα πάντα με τους άλλους .
Ελάτε και δώστε τον εαυτό σας στις δραστηριότητες της κοινότητάς σας,
Πατήρ Χρήστος
Father Nick’s Message
Dear Parents & Youth of Holy Trinity:
Αγαπητοί Γονείς και Νεολαία της Αγίας Τριάδος:
It is so hard to believe that we are well into the
2014 New Year! It feels as if we just celebrated
Christmas and New Years, the cutting of the
Vasilopita and the celebration of Holy Theophany.
And yet, at the end of February, we will be
entering into the period of Great Lent. Where
does the time go?
Είναι δύσκολο να πιστέψουμε ότι είμαστε για τα καλά
στο 2014! Είναι σαν μόλις να εορτάσαμε τα
Χριστούγεννα και το Νέο Έτος, το κόψιμο της
Βασιλόπιτας και τον εορτασμό των Αγίων Θεοφανείων.
Και όμως, στο τέλος του Φεβρουρίου θα εισέλθουμε
στην περίοδο της Μεγάλης Σαρακοστής. Που πήγε ο
χρόνος;
Την σήμερον ημέραν, ο χρόνος είναι ένα πολύτιμο
αγαθό. Δεν φαίνεται να έχουμε ποτέ αρκετό από αυτό!
Μερικοί από εμάς επιθυμούν να είχαμε περισσότερες
ώρες την ημέρα για να συμπληρώσουμε το πυρετώδες
δίλημμα του προγραμματισμού μας. Τα παιδιά εχουν
τόσες πολλές διαφορετικές δραστηριότητες και είναι
συντετριμμένα απο τηνέλλειψη «χρόνου». Τότε έρχεται
η υπέρτατη ερώτηση, «πως μπορώ να διαθέσω τον χρόνο
μου για να επιτύχω αυτά που πρέπει να κάνω;» Με άλλα
λόγια τι θα πρέπει να κάνω;
Πιστεύω ότι επάνω από όλα, πρέπει να κατανείμουμε τις
προτεραιότητες μας σε δύο κατηγορίες; Η πρώτη τι
χρειάζεται να κάνω και η δεύτερη τι θέλω να κάνω.
Όλοι μας θέλουμε να κάνουμε όσα περισσότερα
μπορούμε αλλά αντιλαμβανώμαστε ότι απλώς δεν
μπορούμε. Η προτεραιότητα είναι ένας καλός τρόπος να
μεταβάλλουμε ένα πυρετώδες προγραμματισμό σε έναν
κατορθωτό, αλλά πρέπει επίσης ν’ αναγνωρίσουμε ότι
μερικές δραστηριότητες στην ζωή μας απαιτούν
περισσότερο την προσοχή μας και πρέπει να
τοποθετηθούν σαν ιδιαίτερες προτεραιότητες στην
«πρέπει να κάνω» λίστα.
Κατά την διάρκεια του Φεβρουαρίου, θέλω όλοι οι γονείς
και νεολαία μας να αρχίσουν να βάζουν
«προτεραιότητα» στην ζωή τους και να να
προετοιμασθούν για την επερχόμενη Μεγάλη
Σαρακοστή. Εάν θυμηθουμε να βάλουμε τον Χριστό και
την Εκκλησία Του πρώτα στις προτεραιότητές μας, τότε
θα αρχίσουμε να βλέπουμε ότι κάθε άλλο θα πάρη την
θέση του και θα γίνη περισσότερο διαχειρίσιμο.
Ο Κύριός μας λέει «Επειδή τι θέλει ωφελήσει τον
άνθρωπον, εάν κερδίση τον κόσμον ολον και ζημιωθή
την ψυχήν αυτού;» κατά Μάρκον 8:36. Αυτή είναι η
ερώτηση που πρέπει να απαντηθή από όλους σας. Η
Εκκλησία δεν μας λέει ότι πρέπει να εγκαταλείψουμε
όλα τα άλλα που κάνουμε στην ζωή μας, αλλά
υπογραμμίζει ότι πρέπει να βάλουμε τον ΘΕΟ πρώτα
από όλα τα άλλα. Όταν αρχίζουμε να αναγνωρίζουμε
την ολική μας εξάρτηση από τον Θεό και δώσουμε όλη
μας την δύναμη, προσπάθεια και ΧΡΟΝΟ σε έναν
χαρούμενο τρόπο, ο χρόνος μας τότε είναι εύκολα
διαχειρίσιμος στις «ανάγκες» μας έναντι των «θέλω»
μας. Είθε ο Θεός να ευλογή όλους και τον καθένα σας
χωριστά με την δύναμη και ικανότητα να γίνουμε καλοί
οικονόμοι του χρόνου μας.
Παραμένω στην Υπηρεσία του Χριστού,
Πατέρας Νικόλαος
In today's day and age, time is a valuable
commodity. We never seem to have enough of
it! Some of us wish that we had more hours in
the day in order to complete our hectic
scheduling dilemma. Children are involved with
so many different activities and are too,
overwhelmed with lack of "time". So then comes
the ultimate question' "How can I appropriate my
time so that I can accomplish what I need to do?"
I other words, what should I do?
I believe that first and foremost, we must
prioritize our schedules into two categories: the
first is what I need to do and the second is: what
I want to do. All of us want to do as many things
possible but also realize that we just can't.
Prioritizing is a good way to turn hectic into
obtainable, but, we also need to know that
certain activities within our lives require our
attention and need to be placed as a priority on
the "need to do" list.
During the month of February, I want all of our
parents and youth to start "prioritizing" their lives
and prepare for the coming of the Great Lenten
Period. If we remember to place Christ and His
Church first in our priorities, then we will begin
to see that everything else will fall into place and
become more manageable.
Our Lord tells us, "for what does it profit a
man to gain the whole world (earthly
wants) but loose his soul?"(eternal needs)
Mark 8:36 This is a question that must be
answered by all of you alone. The Church does
not tell us that we must quit everything else that
we do in our lives, but SHE does stress putting
GOD first before all else. When we begin to
acknowledge our total dependency on God and
give our strengths, efforts and TIME in a joyful
fashion, our time then becomes properly adjusted
to our "needs" versus our "wants". May God bless
each and every one of you with the strength and
ability to become good stewards of our time.
In Christ's Service, I remain,
Father Nick

Saturday February 8th at twelve noon at the Hellenic Community Center of our church. We have
planned a delicious luncheon and a fun afternoon with wonderful prizes and fellowship.

unfortunate and battered women of the Hope House.
If you can not attend please make a contribution. Knowing that you have helped someone in need
warms your heart. We do hope you can be with us and we look forward to seeing you on Saturday,
February 8.

contributed, thank you.
On February 2nd our Philoptochos is pleased to join our Sunday school in celebrating God Parents Day.
Philoptochos invites the congregation to attend a luncheon after church. The proceeds from this
luncheon will be donated to an orthodox orphanage in Guatemala. If you can not attend, please make a
contribution toward this very worthy cause. There are 200 orphans there that need our help. Please
give what you can and may God bless you and your family.
The cost for the luncheon is $15 for adults $7 for children. Please make checks payable to
Philoptochos.

40-Day Blessings of Mother & Child
The Rite of Churching
Together with being baptized and chrismated, the new-born child is also "churched." The rite of churching imitates the
offering of male children to the temple according to the law of the Old Testament, particularly the offering of Christ on
the fortieth day after his birth (Luke 2:22). Because of this fact, baptism in the Orthodox tradition came to be prescribed
for the fortieth day or thereabouts. In the New Testament Church both male and female children are formally presented to
God in the Church with special prayers at this time.
Also at this time, once more in imitation of Old Testament practice, the mother of the new-born child is also "churched."
Here we have the specific example of the purification ritual of Jesus' mother Mary (Luke 2:22). In the Orthodox tradition
the churching of the mother is her re-entry into the Assembly of God's people after her participation with God in the holy
act of birth and after her separation from the Liturgy during her confinement. Thus, the mother is blessed to enter once
more into communion with the mystery of Christ's Body and Blood in the Divine Liturgy of the Church from which she
has been necessarily absent.
The new mother should be churched before the baptism of her infant so that she can be present at the sacramental
entrance of her child into the Kingdom of Christ. The official service book indicates that this should be done.
SUNDAY SCHOOL NEWSLETTER
The students and staff of the Holy Trinity Sunday School wish all of you a healthy, happy and
prosperous New Year. As February moves in, we are focusing on two important events/programs:
The first is Godparents’ Sunday, which will take place on Sunday, February 2, 2014. Children
should plan to invite their Godparents to attend Church with them on this day. If a Godparent is not
available, the child may invite a “Special Person” close to them to stand in for the Godparent(s).
During the Divine Liturgy, the community will participate in the Reconfirmation Service. In addition,
Godparents are invited to take Holy Communion with their Godchildren. Godparents and Special
Persons are also invited to attend Sunday School with their Godchildren. After Divine Liturgy and
Sunday School, the Ladies of the Philoptochos and the Sunday School will be hosting a Community
Fundraiser Luncheon where proceeds will benefit Hogar Rafael Ayau, Orthodox Orphanage.
We hope you can all join us on this special day!
The second program is the Holy Trinity Junior Oratorical Festival that will take place on Sunday,
March 30, 2014 after Church in the Community Center. This event will present our Sunday School
Students. It offers them the experience and preparation for the Saint John Chrysostom Oratorical
Festival when they are older. Come and watch your children, they are adorable!

GREAT LENT OF EASTER AND RESURRECTION
Our Lenten season will begin on Monday, March 3. As we enter into this season of self-denial and renewal, we also think about the
Lily—the flower that we most associate with Easter. By the Saturday evening, Resurrection Service, lilies are beautifying our entire
Church with their royal display and fragrance.
Flowers are seen in wreaths for special services: the icon of the Theotokos is adorned for five Friday evening services of the
Salutations, beginning March 7. On April 13, Palm Sunday evening, a wreath will surround the icon of our Lord (wreath of the
Nymphios). Along with flowers on Holy Thursday evening, a wreath of red carnations will adorn the Holy Cross. The lilies will be
placed for the Resurrection Service on April 19 and for Holy Pascha on April 20.
If interested, please make a selection from the following:
Wreaths (5) for the Theotokos at the Service of Salutations: ($40 each):
March 7
March 14
March 21
March 28
April 4
Daffodils for the Veneration of the Cross ($100): March 23
Wreath for Palm Sunday Evening ($40): April 13
Wreath for Holy Cross ($60): Holy Thursday, April 18
Purple mums at base of Cross ($30): Holy Thursday, April 18
Arrangements (2) at Altar Doors ($100): Holy Saturday Resurrection Service,
April 19 and Holy Pascha, April 20
Lilies ($20 each

Our efforts are supported totally by donations from the parishioners. If you wish to share your memorable
events with our Church Community by donating for the purchase of flowers on your special day, please advise

January 12th at the Emmanuel Dining Room East
Through the very generous donation by Mr. Steven Frangia, we began the new year 2014 well by
serving 160 men, women and children a warm luncheon meal on Sunday, January 12th. Steve’s
charitable offering was graciously made in memory of his late wife Diane. We thank him very much for
his thoughtfulness and kind gesture! Tina Ganiaris and Jamie King worked the kitchen that day. A new
sponsor will donate the meal and host the day on Wednesday, February 12th.
All are welcome to join us to help serve from noon to 1 p.m.
Various groups and individuals generously donate the food and host the luncheon meal on the 12th of
every month throughout the year. New sponsors are needed to fill a few months, so if you would like
to become a part of this worthy service project with your family, friends or church organization,
please contact Nikkie Tsakataras at 655-2252 or Tina Ganiaris at 764-2183 for more information.
A very Happy and Healthy New Year to all!
Holy Trinity Food Pantry
Two recent headlines in the January 5th Sunday edition of the News Journal on hunger:
1. If We All Help ~ No Delawarean Has To Go Hungry
2. Solving Delaware’s Riddle of Hunger
On January 5th, the first Sunday of the New Year, Hunger took over the headlines as the most critical
problem facing the citizens of Delaware. Some facts from these articles:
1. About 13.2% of Delawareans, (about 120,000 of our neighbors) say they regularly suffer food
insecurity - not knowing where there next meal is coming from.
2. Too many Delawareans have to decide whether to heat their homes, buy food, or buy medicine.
3. About 42% of Delawareans who receive food benefits are children, and
4. 156,000 Delawareans receive food assistance through SNAP (formerly known as food stamps).
Congress is not helping matters, as they have not renewed the long-term Unemployment Act, as of this
writing. It is being stalled in the Senate. It seems that there are no advocates in the Senate in regards to
the “working poor”.
But as long as there are citizens who care and get involved, all is not lost. Here at Holy Trinity, we have
answered the call. Our Food Bins, one placed outside the church office and one in the Narthex, are
being filled and the food collected is being delivered by Steve Nicholas to the Sunday Breakfast
Mission, St. Stephens, and Richardson Park Community Action Programs, and with Tina Ganiaris
King, who delivered food to the Claymont Community Center Food Closet. 21 bags were delivered this
month so far.
Always needed are:
Canned soups, fish, vegetables, meat, (any canned item), cereals, rice, sugar,
flour, peanut butter, jelly, macaroni & cheese, coffee, tea, pasta, pasta sauces,
baby food, - any food that will not spoil.
FYI – Ford Motor Company, Hess Trucks, and Dunkin’ Doughnuts have joined many corporations
who have given their TV-ad time to the War against Hunger.
Hunger has become a nation-wide movement and we at Holy Trinity are part of this world-wide cause.
Don’t FORGET – a can every Sunday will fill our bins and more food will be on the tables of a very
needy person.
WE CAN DO IT~ ~ ~ THANK YOU!

GOYA NEWS
Hi All,
As I'm sure you all know, our GOYA basketball tournament is right around the
corner! We are hosting 9 other churches, making it our biggest tournament ever! The
tournament requires a lot of participation, help, funding, and volunteering. Due to
the fact that this is a very large event and we expect to have over 500 people
attending our church on February 15th & 16th, the GOYA needs as a lot of support
from the community.
If you would like, you can purchase ads for the Ad-book on the balcony during coffee
hour (the ad-book form is also attached in the bulletin). Help support your children,
grandchildren, nieces, or nephews by purchasing an ad! In addition, we are raffling
an IPAD MINI and BEATS by DR. DRE (tickets are on sale during coffee hour). The
winners of the raffle will be announced Sunday, February 16th during the
tournament.
Donations for Saturday's lunch, Saturday's dinner, and Sunday's brunch are still
needed. Our raised funds help enable our parish to ensure the youth's activities.
Please support the youth, the church's future. Without your support we will not
prosper. We need YOUR help!
The GOYA is truly thankful for the effort, monetary donations, and volunteering from
the community! If you would like to know how you can help, feel free to contact the
GOYA advisors: Foula Karavasilis (302.383.3139) or Maria Kotanidis
(302.367.8132).
Thank You,

Ανατολική Ρωμαϊκή Αυτοκρατορία
Ο όρος Βυζαντινή Αυτοκρατορία ή Βυζάντιο
αναφέρεται
στήν
Ανατολική
Ρωμαϊκή
Αυτοκρατορία. Ο όρος Βυζαντινή Αυτοκρατορία
επινοήθηκε από τον Γερμανό ιστορικό Ιερώνυμο
Γούλφ το 1557, έναν μόλις αιώνα μετά την "Άλωση
της Κωνσταντινούπολης", ο οποίος στο έργο του
Corpus Historiae Byzantinae εισηγήθηκε ένα
σύστημα Βυζαντινής ιστοριογραφίας με σκοπό το
διαχωρισμό αρχαίας Ρωμαϊκής από τη μεσαιωνική
Ελληνική ιστορία.. Η επικράτηση του όρου όμως δεν
έλαβε τόπο έως τον 17ο αιώνα όταν Γάλλοι λόγιοι
τον εκλαϊκευσαν.
Η γνώμη πολλών ειδικών, για την αλλαγή του
ονόματος της σε "Βυζαντινή Αυτοκρατορία",
μαρτυρεί μια υποβόσλουσα μακραίωνη έχθρα και
υποτίμηση, ίσως και σύμπλεγμα κατωτερότητος. Το
πρωτοφανές όνομα "Βυζάντιο", συσχετίζει τη Νέα
Ρώμη, την Κωνσταντινούπολη δηλαδή, απλώς με
μια αρχαία Ελληνική αποικία του 7ου π.Χ. αιώνα,
προκειμένου να αποσυνδέση το ανατολικό τμήμα από
την δυτική αυτοκρατορία, και να περιγράψει με τον
τρόπο αυτό, την άλλοτε κραταιά Αυτοκρατορία, που
αυτοπροσδιοριζόταν ως μοναδικός κληρονόμος της
αυτοκρατορικής Ρώμης. Παρά τις θετικές, αρχικές
προσπάθειες κάποιων δυτικών ιστοριογράφων, η
μακρά παράδοση αδιαφορίας, έλλειψης κατανόησης
και παρεξηγήσεων ανάμεσα στις δύο πλευρές,
οδήγησε σε μια νοοτροπία γκετοποίησης της
Βυζαντινής ιστοριογραφίας.
Η Ανατολική Ρωμαϊκή Αυτοκρατορία
ξεκίνησε με τα εγκαίνια της Κωνσταντινούπολης την
11ην Μαΐου του 330 μ.Χ. και τελείωσε με την τελική
της πτώση, την άλωση από τους Οθωμανούς
Τούρκους, την 29ην Μαΐου του 1453. Σ’ αυτούς
τους 11 αιώνες τα όριά της άλλαξαν πολλές φορές,
αλλά στη μεγαλύτερή της έκταση διοικούσε εδάφη
που περιελάμβαναν την Ιταλική χερσόνησο, τα
Βαλκάνια, τη Μικρά Ασία, Συρία και Παλαιστίνη,
την Αίγυπτο, τη σημερινή Τυνησία καθώς και μικρό
τμήμα της Ιβηρικής χερσονήσου.
Από την Ρωμαϊκή αυτοκρατορία που
κατελύθη το 476, γεννήθηκε το "Εκχριστιανισμένο
Ρωμαϊκό κράτος της Ανατολής" στο οποίο ο
Δυτικός κόσμος οφείλει την διατήρηση του
Ελληνικού και Ρωμαικού πολιτισμού του.
Χρησιμοποιώντας διάφορες πηγές θα προσπαθήσω
να περιγράψω στα επόμενα άρθρα μου την ιστορία
αυτής της μεγάλης αυτοκρατορίας.

Eastern Roman Empire
The term Byzantine Empire or Byzantium
referred in Eastern Roman Empire, a term few people
recognize today, even in Greece. The term Byzantine
Empire was coined by the German historian
Hieronymus Wolf in 1557, just only a century after the
"Fall of Constantinople", who in his work Corpus
Historiae Byzantinae recommended a system of
Byzantine historiography in order to separate the ancient
Roman from medieval Greek history. The prevalence of
the term did not take place until the 17th century when
French scholars made it popular.
The opinion of many experts, with whom I agree
even though I am not an expert, for the change of the
name to "Byzantine Empire" indicates a long
underlying hatred and degradation, perhaps due to an
inferiority complex of the west to that great Hellenistic
and Christian empire. By using the name "Byzantium",
they conveniently related the New
Rome,
Constantinople that is, with only the ancient Greek
colony Byzas of the 7th BC century, thus disconnecting
the eastern part of the Roman Empire. That once mighty
Empire identified themselves as the sole heir of imperial
Rome. Despite positive initial attempts by some Western
historiographers, the long tradition of indifference,
incomprehension and misunderstandings between the
two sides led to a culture of isolation and alienation of
the
Byzantine
historiography.
The Eastern Roman Empire began with the
foundation of Constantinople, know today by its Turkish
name Istanbul, which was originated from the Greek
words ES TIN POLIN, to the city, on 11th May 330
AD and ended with the final fall, the fall of thee Queen
City to the Ottoman Turks, on 29th May 1453. In these
11 centuries, her limits have been changed several times,
but its greatest extent ruled territories included the
Italian peninsula, the Balkans, Asia Minor, Syria,
Palestine, Egypt, modern Tunisia and small part of the
Iberian peninsula.
From the Roman empire, which was demised in
476 AD, the "Christianized Roman Empire of the East"
was born, to whom the West owes the preservation of
Greek and Roman civilization, its roots that is. Using
various sources I will try to present in the future the
history of this great empire.
