Artoklasia at the 2008 Toledo PLC

Posted on September 10, 2008 | Filed Under Uncategorized

Anemi

Posted on June 9, 2008 | Filed Under Uncategorized

If you can read a little Greek, there’s an unusual treasure on the internet right now:

http://anemi.lib.uoc.gr/metadata/9/3/c/metadata-01-0000374.tkl

This Anemi online library contains a lot of rare books: liturgical books from the 16th-19th century, patristic and canonical collections (I’ve linked here specifically to Rhalli and Potli -one of the most comprehensive collections of the canons) as well as a host of secular material.

This tridion from 1586 is a lot of fun, for instance.

Enjoy!

Byzantine Christmas

Posted on November 15, 2007 | Filed Under Uncategorized

I ordered the latest from Romeiko Ensemble: Byzantine Christmas, and I’m really pleased with it. The CD comes with a book explaining what it is you’re listening to. Between this latest offering, and their previous work From Adam unto Joseph the Romeiko Ensemble has brought a lot of the beauty of the Eastern Christmas cycle (the Dodekaemeron) to light.

2 deacons

Posted on March 25, 2007 | Filed Under Uncategorized

Here at St. Nick’s, we’ve run into an unusual dillemma. In a way, it’s a great problem to have. Last Sunday, we had a second deacon ordained. Now he has to learn the ropes liturgically. But the second deacon’s part is much smaller than the first deacon, so learning is going to be slow so long as deacon number 1 is around. On the other hand, deacond number 1 is the best teacher for deacon number 2. I’m curious to see how the situation works itself out.

…with a little help from my friends.

Unfortunately, after the struggle to get this non-blog running again, it occured to me that I don’t really have a purpose for this site. ds was the homepage for the synodeia of st. nicholas planas -a small group of people in the boston area that tried to do a ‘byzantine style’ all-night vigil at least once a month. i’m not in the boston area anymore, and so far as i know, the synodeia didn’t survive my departure. trying to create a similiar group here in the midwest is simply not possible. so congrats to us all! I’ve run out of content just as I got my setup in line.
