OCTOBERO∫ΔøμƒπO™ 2014 A Monthly E-Publication of the Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church. 520 S. Ponca Street, Baltimore, MD 21224 KOINONIA GREEK ORTHODOX ARCHDIOCESE OF AMERICA METROPOLIS OF NEW JERSEY Message from Fr. Michael L. Pastrikos, Protopresbyter Caring about Others Sometimes when people come out of Church they say, “Boy, I wish that so and so would have come to church today to hear Father’s sermon.” To be honest, I don’t want anyone saying that. Instead, I would prefer for everyone to take internalize it. The question is “How does this sermon apply to me?” and not “How does it apply to someone else?” Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, “Two are better than one.” If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up. In life we do fall or get knocked down at times. And how wonderful it is when we have a friend who really cares enough to lift us up, dust us off, and help us continue on. I saw a movie once about two (2) athletes who were friends competing in a track race together. One athlete was winning the race, and at one moment he turned around to see if anyone was close to him. When he turned around, he saw his friend had fallen and injured himself and could not get up. He thought,“What should I do? Should I continue on and win the race or help my friend who is down and injured.” Immediately he made the decision to forget about the race and the trophies and awards that came with winning. His decision was to take care of his friend, to lift him up, pick up his spirit and finish the race together. The outcome was that they both finished the race in last place. Question: Would you do that to help your friend? Do you know what it takes for a person to refuse the benefits of coming in first and then end up in last place because he did a good deed for his friend? Do you know that the people in the stands didn’t cheer for the person who won the race but cheered for the person who helped out his friend. Remember, there are some things in life more important than finishing first. Do you ever ask yourself on Sunday morning, “Why am I going to church? Am I going because I feel that I owe a debt to God, so I’m trying to pay it back? Am I going to church because I’m carrying a heavy burden that I hope will be lifted? Or is it because I like hearing byzantine music and the fellowship hour after church. Please ask yourself, “Why am I going to church.” We should be attending church for the right reasons, and if we are genuinely interested in others, the church becomes a training ground where we learn how to help one another. During the Divine Liturgy the priest exclaims, “Let us love one another that with one mind we may confess.” If you really want to help someone when you come to church, all you have to do is to be on the lookout. Let’s see, over there is a mother with both hands full trying to herd her kids through the door. Maybe she could use your help. Or sitting near a visitor here for the first time, you might try to introduce yourself and express to him or her that you are really glad to meet them, and let them know that you are there for them. If they are non-orthodox, then you can introduce them to the faith, and invite them down to the fellowship coffee hour after church. You could also notify the priest that we have visitors today in church, and Father will introduce them to the congregation. We talked about the positive side of Caring for others, let’s look at the negative side. There are some people who will say that they have enough troubles of their own to deal with, why should we get involved to help someone else? Do you realize that when you help someone else, you begin to forget your own problems. The Bible teaches us and the psychologists are learning today that the quickest way to get rid of our troubles is to become involved in helping someone else. Then you wonder why God made this a Commandment “TO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR.” It humbles us to realize that other people have the same problems that we face in our lives. Today, people believe that all the problems of the world can be taken care of by others such as Government, Social programs, Organizations, etc. But, I believe this does not solve the problems of the world, it just pushes the problems elsewhere. I also believe that “We” together as caring people can make a difference by giving an example for people to follow. Let’s take that giant step in our lives and change the way we deal with life’s problems.

I am extremely humbled to have been reelected by the Parish Council as President. I give my solemn oath to serve the community of Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church with integrity and humility. I am very pleased to announce that this year, we have the largest pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and 1st grade classes enrolled in many years. We have run out of space for our Greek School and Sunday School classes and are in the development stages of opening a Learning Center in the Fellowship Hall. The size of our schools have increased so much that it has become crucial that we continue our mission of renovating the Fellowship Hall for the our children. This Hall, located next door to the School Building of our Church, needs the basics before we can even begin a dialogue of expanding it for our children. At a minimum, the building needs a security system, fire alarm system, and a secured entrance. These items will cost approximately twenty thousand dollars ($20,000). How can you help? First, consider buying a ticket or table to the Saint Nicholas Name Day 60th Anniversary Grand Banquet. If you are unable to attend, then please consider making a monetary donation towards the expansion of the School program. If forty (40) people gave five hundred dollars ($500) towards the school’s expansion, we would have enough funds to make the necessary improvements. If twenty people (20) gave one thousand dollars ($1,000) towards the school expansion, we could complete the project even sooner. Any contribution would be greatly appreciated, no matter how small. Please make your checks payable to the “Saint Nicholas Learning Center.” Together, we can work for the continued progress of our Community and for the future which is our children. Thank you and God Bless. In Christ, Demos Anastasiades, Parish Council President 3 MHNYMA TOY ¶ƒO∂¢ƒOÀ Δ∏™ ∫Oπ¡OΔ∏Δ∞™ ∞Á·ËÙÔ› ÂÓÔÚ›Ù˜, ΔËÓ ∫˘Úȷ΋, 21 ™ÂÙÂÌ‚Ú›Ô˘ 2014, ÙÔ ¢ÈÔÈÎËÙÈÎfi ™˘Ì‚Ô‡ÏÈÔ Ù˘ ∂ÓÔÚ›·˜ Ì·˜ ÔÚΛÛÙËΠÛÙÔ ÁÚ·Ê›Ô. ∂›Ì·È ÊÔ‚ÂÚ¿ Û˘ÁÎÈÓË̤ÓÔ˜ Ô˘ ÙÔ ¢ÈÔÈÎËÙÈÎfi ™˘Ì‚Ô‡ÏÈÔ Ì „‹ÊÈÛ ÁÈ· Ì›· ·ÎfiÌ· ÊÔÚ¿ ¶Úfi‰ÚÔ. ™·˜ ‰›Óˆ ÙÔÓ ˘Â‡ı˘ÓÔ fiÚÎÔ ÌÔ˘ fiÙÈ ı· ˘ËÚÂÙ‹Ûˆ ÙËÓ ÎÔÈÓfiÙËÙ· Ù˘ √Úıfi‰Ô͢ ∂ÎÎÏËÛ›·˜ ÙÔ˘ ∞Á›Ô˘ ¡ÈÎÔÏ¿Ô˘ Ì ·ÎÂÚ·ÈfiÙËÙ· Î·È Ù·ÂÈÓfiÙËÙ·. ∂›Ì·È Ôχ ¯·ÚÔ‡ÌÂÓÔ˜ Ó· Û·˜ ·Ó·ÎÔÈÓÒÛˆ fiÙÈ ·˘Ù‹ ÙË ¯ÚÔÓÈ¿ ¤¯Ô˘Ì ÙȘ ÌÂÁ·Ï‡ÙÂÚ˜ Ù¿ÍÂȘ ¶ÚÔÓ˛Ԣ, ¡Ë›Ô˘ Î·È ¶ÚÒÙ˘ Δ¿Í˘ Ô˘ ¤¯Ô˘Ó ÂÁÁÚ·Ê› ÛÙÔ Û¯ÔÏÂ›Ô Ì·˜ Â‰Ò Î·È ÔÏÏ¿ ¯ÚfiÓÈ·. ¢ÂÓ ¤¯Ô˘Ì ·ÚÎÂÙfi ¯ÒÚÔ ÁÈ· ÙÔ ÂÏÏËÓÈÎfi Î·È ÙÔ ∫·Ù˯ËÙÈÎfi Ì·˜ Û¯ÔÏÂ›Ô Î·È ‚ÚÈÛÎfiÌ·ÛÙ ˘fi ÙË ‰È·‰Èηۛ· Ó· ÏÂÈÙÔ˘ÚÁ‹ÛÔ˘Ì ¤Ó· ª·ıËÛÈ·Îfi ∫¤ÓÙÚÔ ÛÙËÓ ∞›ıÔ˘Û· ∞‰ÂÏÊfiÙËÙ·˜.

OCTOBER-O∫ΔøμƒπO™ 2014 K O I N ø N I ∞ 9 COMMUNITY NEWS ✧ ∫Oπ¡OΔπ∫∞ ¡∂A GREEKTOWN CDC A message from Colonel John E. Gavrilis, CEO Based on the request from the community, the Greektown CDC sent an impact letter to the Liquor Board for the hearing against Casa Luna, 500 S. Lehigh Street. The bar had several violations on record. The liquor board imposed a two week suspension and $3,500 fine. We also are working with the licensee to increase the lighting outside of the bar to improve the safety of our residents and his patrons. The Greektown CDC and the Greektown Business Alliance proudly supported the Maryland Star Spangled Banner celebration by flying the United States 1812 flag. We thank all the other neighbors who also participated by showing their patriotism. The Greektown CDC is working with the Greektown Business Alliance to beautify our business district. A letter was sent to our businesses to keep the area in front of their businesses clean, plant flowers and trim the flower beds. We are pleased that so many businesses have cooperated with us. We continue to promote the new home development of Athena Square and Kettler’s O’Donnell Square in Greektown, located in the areas around the 800 – 900 blks Oldham Street. Please tell your friends of the wonderful opportunity to live in Greektown and buy a beautiful new home. As the Fall season is upon us and leaves begin to fall, we ask all our neighbors to sweep the curbs in front of your home or business and bag the leaves. The sewer drains are not to be used to dump the leaves. This causes a problem during rain or snow and causes the homes to become flooded when a back flow occurs. The City works close with the Greektown CDC in cleaning out the sewers, however, we need your help in keeping the leaves from entering the sewers!!! The leadership of the Greektown CDC was instrumental in organizing AHEPA’s Lord Baltimore Chapter # 364, Mike Athas Memorial Golf Classic. The monies raised will go towards the scholarship fund. This year the scholarship fund awarded seven scholarships and a grant to the St. Nicholas Church’s Greek School. A community meeting was held on the development of the PEMCO site. The Greektown CDC Board attended the meeting. Limited new information was forwarded to the community by the developers. We continue to wait on some specifics from the developers concerning the number of proposed of homes, type of retailers or if any retailers have been committed, if an anchor store has been identified or committed, Environmental Protections Agency (EPA) results, etc. A consensus was to hold off on approving any zoning changes until such time that the development group could offer more specifics. We will keep the community informed as new developments unfold. We need your help in calling 311. The City has been very responsive to our office, but they ask that the residents also get involved in calling in violations. You may also call 311 or submit online at www.baltimorecity.gov use the “request service” icon for nonemergencies and to request City services (trash, zoning, liquor board, etc.). 911 should be called for any criminal activity. Believe in your community! HELLENIC GOLDEN COINS NEWS The Hellenic Golden Coins will be having open registration during the month of September, 2014. All youths 13 years old or older are eligible to join the Hellenic Golden Coins. The registration fee is $25.00. A registration form can be retrieved from the church office or from a representative on Sundays after the completion of the Divine Liturgy. The Hellenic Golden Coins practice on Sundays immediately after the completion of the Divine Liturgy in the small hall of the church for one hour. On occasion, practice may be extended to one and half hours. –Dance Teacher, Maria Kaminkis RATIFICATION OF APRIL, 2014 ELECTION AND SWEARINGIN OF THE PARISH COUNCIL After resolving many issues and with much anticipation, the 2014 Parish Council was sworn in at the end of Divine Liturgy on Sunday, September 21, 2014.

SUNDAY SCHOOL NEWS “Basic Information Before Leaving Earth.” Many of you are probably wondering what this phrase means. Some of you will probably get this right away. Others will ponder over its meaning and what it has to do with Sunday school. Think about this phrase and we will let you know at the end of this article. But for now, the St. Nicholas Church Sunday School classes for School year 2014 to 2015 are underway. We are still registering students in the Sunday school office and in the classrooms. We urge parents to bring their children to Sunday school. They will not only learn about Orthodox Christianity, but also make lifelong friends who share a common denominator – their faith. In addition, they will also learn about their church and what their role is and what is needed to keep it running and open to all the faithful. We hope that our young students will learn something new every Sunday. Whether it’s about the history of Orthodoxy, our prayers and our Divine Liturgy. And especially how to better prepare their lives here on earth to live an Orthodox life and to follow the teachings of Christ, our God. If you haven’t enrolled your children or grandchildren for Sunday school classes, make it a priority and do so as soon as possible. Our classes start with Nursery and continue all the way up to the 10th Grade. Here is an insight into the beginning phrase making the rounds on Christian networks and sites on FB. “A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, “I know what the Bible means!” His father smiled and replied, “What do you mean, you ‘know’ what the Bible means? The son replied, “I do know!”“Okay”, said his father. “What does the Bible mean?”“That’s easy, Daddy….” The young boy replied excitedly,” It stands for: Basic Information Before Leaving Earth How well prepared are we in our quest for Paradise or Paradiso? Do we as parents take the time to read the Bible with our children and/or grandchildren? Do we as parents take the time to teach them about God and Jesus and our Saints in the Orthodox Church? Do we as parents teach them what it means to fast and prepare for communion? In all of these questions, the number one role model is and will continue to be—the parent/s. “Leading by example”, as Father Michael would say, is the best lesson a parent can give their child. There will always be distractions. It’s just a matter of recognizing that on Sunday mornings… what is more important to you and your family, the distractions or attending church? Make attending church and bringing your children to Sunday school your main objective. Then you will see how everything else will fall into place.May God be with all of you and your families and may you have a good month of October. Kalo kai Evlogimeno Mina to all.

The path to this communion has been precisely defined: faith, and walking in the Commandments with the help of God’s grace. Saint Theophan the Recluse While it is true that the Orthodox way of life is not the normal way of life for most people in our society, it is a most practical life for married people with families faced with the challenges of careers. In fact, it is the way of living that will make your life less stressful and more meaningful. The Orthodox Way of Life is NOT a monastic way of life. Even though monasticism was part of the early church, we are not required to live this most honored lifestyle. Only a few are called to this style of life. We do, however, have the same goals. Like the monks we seek holiness and union with God, but we are called to live in the world with our families. The principles of our spiritual growth are the same no matter which path we chose. Most of us never take the time to reflect on the purpose of our lives. Often we don’t do this until someone we love departs from this life unexpectedly. During this moment of grief, our soul has our attention and we begin to think about what life is all about. In one way, life is about death. We all know this is where we are headed, but we too often refuse to think about this seriously because of the unknown and the fear it presents. The purpose of life taught by the Apostles and the Church Fathers is one of finding union with God. Jesus came to save us and to open the gates of heaven for us. He showed us how to live through His teaching and example. He showed us that we have nothing to fear in death. To begin, you must have faith in God and accept His love for you. With a little faith, you can begin to live the Orthodox way of life through our journey of the ten point program. This way of life is given to us by Christ Himself through His Church. It is a proven way of life that WILL bring you closer to God. As you come closer to God, you increase your capability to deal with any difficulty you may face. You increase your ability to live according to the virtues. During the next ten months, the Stewardship Committee will present the ten point program to help each of us find union with God. We will be discussing the following: Prayer, Worship, Liturgical Cycle. Jesus Prayer, Slowing Down, Watchfulness, Taming Passions, Putting Others First, Spiritual Fellowship, Reading Scriptures and Holy Father. If you follow these ten point, it will led you to everything you need to know. Study each one of them with us and examine your current life. Then seek ways to make the necessary changes in your life to incorporate them. Always pray for God’s help in this.

OCTOBER OR “OCTOBRIS”: THE MONTH OF SOWING It’s the second month of the Fall. The Greeks also give the names: ñ Ai-Demetris or Ai-Demetriatis (since the most important celebration's that of Saint Demetrius), ñ Broharis (because we get the first rains) ñ Sporiates or Sporias or Spartos (since the sowing starts) and ñ Broumaris (which means foggy, gloomy). During October, people would plow and sow wheat, barley and oat. They would also complete the vine harvest and the wine production, as well as collect the autumn fruit and potatoes. According to the Roman calendar, October was the 8th month of the year, since the first month was March. That is how it received its name October for octo for eight (8). When, in 46 BCE, January became the first month of the year, and October became the 10th month. However, its name did not change. It was a month dedicated to the god Ares (Mars) and was depicted as a hunter. This month is connected to agricultural events ever since the ancient times, the most important being the production and testing of wine and the hunting of small animals and birds. One of the greatest celebrations of October in ancient Greece was “Thesmoforia”, which was dedicated to Demeter, goddess of agriculture, and her daughter. October is the ideal month for sowing. But, in order for the farmer to sow, it needs to rain before - therefore, the first rains of the Fall are indispensable, since with their slow and persistent rhythm they will soften the soil, which has dried up due to the summer scorching sun. And what if it doesn’t rain? What are we going to do then? Well, then we are going to have a litany. The villagers gather at the church and, after the priest reads a special prayer, they take the holy icons to the valley. With the litany-prayer and with respect to God, the farmers ask from God to bring rain. Good sowing is vital, since, whoever doesn’t sow in October, will not have a good harvest, which means no food. At the same time, though, it is pretty common to have the “mini summer” or “the mini Saint Demetrius summer”. At that point, the rain stops, the temperature rises and people think that there is a second, mini summer. This kind of weather favors chrysanthemums, which are also known as “agiodimitriatika” (Saint Demetrius’ flowers). Customs Of Saint Demetrius There are so many people named Demetri as many there are called George, since both saints have been particularly honored by farmers and breeders, who consisted the biggest part of Greek popu- lation. Riding their horses - Saint George’s is white, Saint Demetrius’ is red - they show with their weapons that they are determined to protect the farmers and breeders from any kind of evil: themselves, their families, their animals, their crops, their entire living. These two celebrations are milestones in the lives of farmers and breeders. What is more, on Saint Demetrius day, people open the barrels and they taste the new wines. First, the priest has to come, to bless the barrels by pouring a little bit of holy water. Then, the owner will fill up a glass and will offer it to the priest, who will give his wishes. In the villages of Peloponnese, people used to take a bottle of wine to the church, to have it blessed. Then, they would pour a little bit of this blessed wine into their barrels, so that the rest of the wine would get blessed. 28th of October - OXI Day On that day, in 1940, early in the morning, Gratsi, the Italian Ambassador in Athens, handed an ultimatum of the Italian Government to the Greek Prime Minister. This ultimatum demanded that the Italian troops be free to come through the Greek-Albanian borders, in order to occupy some strategically important spots of the Greek territory, that served their needs for supply and their later promotion in Africa. The Greek Prime Minister, after reading the text, replied back in French: «Alors, c’est la guerre» = «Well, that means we are in war». This phrase, became known later through the media as “NO”. Two hours later, Greece entered Second World War. Every year on that day, ever since, we commemorate and we honor all those people who fought with heroism for a free country, as well as, all the innocent war victims. ¶ËÁ¤˜ / Resources : * http://users.sch.gr/vaxtsavanis/oktobrios.html * http://www.paidika.gr * http://www.infokids.gr/2009/10 √ÎÙÒ‚ÚÈÔ˜ ‹ √ÎÙÒ‚Ú˘ : √ Ì‹Ó·˜ Ù˘ ÛÔÚ¿˜ ∂›Ó·È Ô ‰Â‡ÙÂÚÔ˜ Ì‹Ó·˜ ÙÔ˘ ÊıÈÓÔÒÚÔ˘. √ ÂÏÏËÓÈÎfi˜ Ï·fi˜ ‰›ÓÂÈ Î·È Ù· ÔÓfiÌ·Ù·: ñ ∞˚-¢ËÌ‹ÙÚ˘ ‹ ∞˚-¢ËÌËÙÚÈ¿Ù˘ (·ÊÔ‡ Ë ÈÔ ÌÂÁ¿ÏË ÁÈÔÚÙ‹ Â›Ó·È ÙÔ˘ ∞Á›Ô˘ ¢ËÌËÙÚ›Ô˘), ñ μÚÔ¯¿Ú˘ (ÂÂȉ‹ ÍÂÎÈÓÔ‡Ó Ù· ÚˆÙÔ‚Úfi¯È·) ñ ™ÔÚÈ¿Ù˘ ‹ ™ÔÚÈ¿˜ ‹ ™·ÚÙfi˜ (ÂÂȉ‹ ı’ ·Ú¯›ÛÂÈ Ë ÛÔÚ¿) Î·È ñ ªÚÔ˘Ì¿Ú˘ (‰ËÏ·‰‹, ÔÌȯÏ҉˘, ÛÎÔÙÂÈÓfi˜). ∫·Ù¿ ÙÔÓ √ÎÙÒ‚ÚË, fiÚÁˆÓ·Ó Î·È ¤ÛÂÚÓ·Ó ÛÈÙËÚ¿, ÎÚÈı¿ÚÈ Î·È ‚ÚÒÌË, ÔÏÔÎÏ‹ÚˆÓ·Ó ÙÔÓ ÙÚ‡ÁÔ Î·È ÙËÓ ·Ú·ÁˆÁ‹ ÙÔ˘ ÎÚ·ÛÈÔ‡ Î·È Ì¿˙¢·Ó Ù· ÊıÈÓÔˆÚÈÓ¿ ÊÚÔ‡Ù· Î·È ÙËÓ ·Ù¿Ù·. ∫·Ù¿ ÙÔ ÚˆÌ·˚Îfi ËÌÂÚÔÏfiÁÈÔ ‹Ù·Ó Ô 8Ô˜ Ì‹Ó·˜, ‰ÈfiÙÈ Ô ¯ÚfiÓÔ˜ ¿Ú¯È˙ ·fi ÙÔÓ ª¿ÚÙË, ÁÈ’ ·˘Ùfi ÎÈ ÔÓÔÌ¿ÛÙËΠ√ÎÙfiÌÂÚ (ÔÎÙÒ).
