"The Orthodox faith is not simply preserved; it is lived and passed on. We are not merely guardians of ancient tradition. We are participants in Christ's continuing life in the world."

Righteous Martha and Mary, the sisters of Lazarus
Commemorated on June 4

The righteous sisters Martha and Mary were believers in Christ even before He raised their brother Saint Lazarus (October 17) from the dead. After the murder of the holy Archdeacon Stephen a persecution against the Jerusalem Church broke out, and Righteous Lazarus was cast out of Jerusalem. The holy sisters then assisted their brother in the proclaiming of the Gospel in various lands.

Saints Martha and Mary are also commemorated on the Sunday of the Myrrh-bearing Women.

The Teen Ministry team from the Department of Youth and Young Adults Ministries is excited to offer a Summer Activity Menu for parishes and deaneries across the Archdiocese.

This clickable PDF -https://antiochianprodsa.blob.core.windows.net/websiteattachments/Summer%20Teen%20Activities%20menu.pdf, includes ideas and frameworks for a wide variety of summer activities that teens and advisors can plan and enjoy together. While summer often brings a different pace and fuller schedules, it also offers unique opportunities for connection and growth.

Whether through service projects, movie nights, book clubs, or supplication services, the team hopes this resource inspires creative and meaningful ways to keep teens and parish communities engaged throughout the summer months.

Postfeast of Pentecost
3rd day of the Trinity

Many of the hymns of Pentecost are repeated in the postfestal services of this week, and references to the Holy Spirit, and to fire, abound. In particular, we are reminded of the Unburnt Bush (Exodus 3:2), the zealous Prophet Elias who ascended to Heaven in a chariot of fire, the three youths in the fiery furnace, and the Lord descending on Mt. Sinai in fire (Exodus 19:18).

As we commemorate the Holy Spirit this week, we look forward to the Sunday of All Saints, those righteous men and women of all nations and in every age, who were perfected and sanctified by the same Holy Spirit.
