SAINT HARALAMBOS OF MAGNESIA IN ASIA MINOR

Commemorated on the 10th of FEBRUARY

How He Saved the town of Filiatra in Greece: The miracle took place in the small Peloponnesian town of Filiatra in 1943, during the dark days of the occupation of Greece by the Germans. This miracle has moved and continues to move, to this today, not only the people of Filiatra but also the people of all Greece.

From the German Headquarters in Tripoli, orders were issued to Officer Kondau, in charge in Filiatra, to burn the town, because of a sabotage that the rebels had instigated. The Commandant was ordered to kill a certain number of notable Filiatrians, to take as prisoners the 1,500 other citizens, and to send them to Germany, after which it is was obvious they would never return.

Πανηγυρικά εορτάστηκε η μνήμη του Ιερομάρτυρα Αγίου Χαραλάμπους στο Βυζαντινό μοναστήρι της Ζωοδόχου πηγής στην Αρια Ναυπλίου, όπου ένα από τα παρεκκλήσια του είναι αφιερωμένο στον Άγιο Χαράλαμπο. Μάλιστα από έρευνες των αρχαιολόγων έχει διαπιστωθεί πως το παρεκκλήσιο αυτό είναι το παλαιότερο  της μονής η οποία χτίσθηκε το 1149 μχ. Στον πανηγυρικό εσπερινό, χθες, χοροστάτησε ο θεοφιλέστατος επίσκοπος Continuă să citești →

Καθημερινώς οι ευσεβείς χριστιανοί μας ενοχλούν και μας ερωτούν με αγωνία τι γίνεται με το θέμα της ηλεκτρονικής κάρτας του πολίτη. Σας μεταφέρω το τι ακριβώς ερωτήσεις δεχόμεθα καθημερινώς από το χριστεπώνυμο ποίμνιό μας, το οποίον μας κοιτά κατάματα αναμένοντας από εμάς απαντήσεις, τις οποίες δυστυχώς δεν έχω.

LUPTA ROMÂNILOR DIN TRANSILVANIA PENTRU A RĂMÂNE ÎN BISERICA STRĂMOŞEASCĂ

Partea I

,,-De ce nu vrei să te supui împărătesei şi să devii Greco-catolic, lăsând ortodoxia? (comisia imperială)

-Cojocul acesta, de pe mine, acum i-al meu. Dacă mi-l cere împărăteasa i-l dau, n-am ce face. Cu mâinile şi cu picioarele acestea şi cu tot trupul meu, am lucrat zi şi noapte ca să plătesc dările. Dacă le vrea, ale ei sunt. Dar am numai un suflet, pe care îl păstrez pentru Dumnezeu din ceruri şi nicio putere omenească nu-l va putea îndoi.’’
