Christmas Eve Feast | Photograph by Stamen Stanev . “Following Bulgarian Orthodox church traditions,” writes Your Shot photographer Stamen Stanev, “on December 24th, the table is laid out for Christmas Eve dinner. It is a centuries old tradition which brings families together, and for me, is the ultimate ‘Tastes Like Home’ tradition.” -- “I love this composition. The table is overflowing with love and unique dishes. How did you keep everyone from eating while you were climbing up high to get the shot?” — @natgeo The Plate senior blogger April Fulton (@thefoodscribe). .

Today, the Ecumenical Patriarch officially declared Elder Iakovos Tsalikis a Saint and his canonisation service will take place some time in the future. May our blessed Geronda pray for us and may his ways during his earthly life inspire us all to love Christ to the fullest! Glory to God! Saint Iakovos, pray for us! ☦️ --- If you don't know much about him, message me and I'll send you some links!

We have to forgive everyone, as God does. The Gospel tells us that the rain falls on the just and the unjust. Because we’re all sinners and we all deserve to be condemned for our sins, however few or many they may be. This is why we must forgive and pray to God that He’ll forgive us sinners likewise, given that we don’t even understand that we sin frequently, nor even what we’re doing and not doing. +Saint Iakovos Tsalikis.

Until a man’s earthly life finishes its course, up to the very departure of the soul from the body, the struggle between sin and righteousness continues within him. However, high a spiritual and moral state one might achieve, a gradual or even headlong and deep fall into the abyss of sin is always possible. Therefore, communion of the holy Body and Blood of Christ, which strengthens our contact with Him and refreshes us with the living streams of the grace of the Holy Spirit flowing through the Body of the Church, is necessary for everyone. -St. John the Wonderworker of Shanghai and San Francisco

The Holy Protection of the Theotokos: The Feast of the Protection commemorates the appearance of the most holy Theotokos in the Church of Blachernae in Constantinople in the early sixth century, as recorded in the life of Saint Andrew the Fool for Christ's sake. While the multitudes of the faithful were gathered in church, Epiphanius, the friend of Saint Andrew, through the Saint's prayers, beheld the Virgin Mary above the faithful and spreading out her veil over them, signifying her unceasing protection of all Christians. Because of this we keep a yearly feast of gratitude, imploring our Lady never to cease sheltering us in her mighty prayers. Apolytikion First Mode O Virgin, we extol the great grace of thy Protection, which thou didst spread out like a bright cloud beyond all understanding; for thou dost invisibly protect thy people from the foe's every assault. Since we have thee as our shelter and certain help, we cry to thee with our whole soul: Glory to thy great deeds, O most pure Maid. Glory to thy shelter most divine. Glory to thy care and providence for us, O spotless one. Kontakion Plagal Fourth Mode Let us the faithful hasten to the Theotokos now and venerate her sacred veil, as we chant unto her, singing hymns to praise and honour her, as is fitting; for she shelt'reth with her shelter and all her faithful flock and preserveth them unharmed from all calamities, as they cry to her: Rejoice, Protection most radiant.
