Christ is Risen!

Христосъ воскресе!

Χριστὸς ἀνέστη!

“It is the day of Resurrection, let us be radiant, O ye peoples; Pascha, the Lord’s Pascha; for Christ God hath brought us from death unto life, and from earth unto Heaven as we sing the triumphal hymn” (Heirmos, Ode 1 of the Paschal Canon)

Many of us Orthodox Christians spend a large portion of our week commuting to and from work. These many hours of free time provide us with a great opportunity to further our faith. Below are just a few audio resources available for us to listen to during our commutes.

On the weekend of July 20-21, 2024, the faithful gathered to honour the sanctity of a great saint of the Americas, St. Ioasaph of Edmonton and Buenos Aires. Services were held at St. Vladimir’s Russo Greek Orthodox Church in Edmonton, Alberta. His Eminence Metropolitan Demetrius of America attended along with His Eminence Metropolitan Moses of Toronto, His Eminence Bishop Auxentios of Etna and Portland, and His Grace Bishop Benedict of Astoria.

Metropolitan Demetrius presented the parish with a large hand-painted icon of St. Ioasaph, who established the St. Vladimir’s parish in the 1930s and built part of the church, residing there until he was sent to Argentina in the 1950s.

On July 22, Abbess Amvrosia and her sisterhood hosted the faithful at the Holy Protection Convent near Bluffton, Alberta. Visitors were able to see the log church that St. Ioasaph built on the property and learn about the history of the convent.

A brief life of St. Ioasaph, originally published in Orthodox Word, is available below.
