On this Sunday we celebrate the restoration of Icons to the Orthodox Church after the long conflicts of the 8th century about their rightful place in the Church.'We preach Christ our true God, and honor His saints in words, in writings, in thoughts, in sacrifices, in churches, in Holy Icons; on the one hand worshipping and reverencing Christ as God and Lord; and on the other hand honoring as true servants of the same Lord of all / and accordingly offering them veneration. This is the Faith of the Apostles, this is the Faith of the Fathers, this is the Faith of the Orthodox, this is the Faith which has established the Universe.'

Sunday's Homily Excerpt -

Let us imitate Nathanael who followed Philip to encounter Jesus Christ and it changed his life. Or in the words of the Epistle of James: 'Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.' And so we can say to Christ: You are the Son of God! And you are the King of my life..” - Fr. Marc Dunaway, Marc 1, 2026-

"One Accord"

Excerpts from Christian writers Past and Present

Adam for eating was driven from paradise. For this reason he sat outside it, weeping and mourning in a pitiful voice, saying: “Woe is me; what has befallen me, wretched man?... O most-holy paradise, which for me was planted,… implore Him Who made you that I may again gaze on the flowers of your gardens. Therefore, the Savior cried out to him, saying: I desire not the loss of My creation, but that it be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth; for He that comes to Me, I shall not cast out. - Aposticha verse for Saturday Vespers on Forgiveness Sunday.
