For the next forty days, the icon of the Resurrection will be displayed in our churches. This icon shows our most Merciful Lord, descending into Hades, and raising all those who had fallen through death. CHRIST IS RISEN! TRULY HE IS RISEN! On the Great and Holy Feast of Pascha, Orthodox Christians celebrate the life-giving Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This feast of feasts is the most significant day in the life of the Church. It is a celebration of the defeat of death, as neither death itself nor the power of the grave could hold our Savior captive. In this victory that came through the Cross, Christ broke the bondage of sin, and through faith offers us restoration, transformation, and eternal life. #resurrection #pascha #easter #holyweek #liveorthodoxy #goarch #ascensionwillshinetonight #yourparishcouncil #https://www.goarch.org/-/the-icon-of-the-resurrection

Xρόνια πολλά to all of our Georges and Georgias near and far! We love you❣️ St. George was born in the late 3rd century. His father was from Cappadocia (in modern day Turkey) and his mother was from Palestine. St. George’s father was martyred, so his mother moved back to Palestine and raised St. George there with good education and in pious faith. St. George joined the army has soon as he could. He quickly earned ranks and was stationed in Nicomedia as a guard attached to Roman Emperor Diocletian. Diocletian was one of the most ruthless emperors for Christian persecution. St. George was asked to persecute the Christians but he would not and he showed that he was a Christian. Diocletian then ordered the torture and execution of St. George. St. George survived several attempts to kill him. The first torture was him being placed on a wheel and as the wheel turned, St. George was pierced all over his body, but an angel came and healed him. They put him in a pit and covered him with lime and three days later they dug him out and he was unharmed. They put him in iron shoes with hot nails. Then they whipped him brutally. They poisoned him. After all of this, Diocletian asked by what power he was able to survive all this and he said that Christ had saved him. Diocletian asked about what kind of stuff Christ had done and St. George mentioned all the miracles, including Christ’s resurrections. Intrigued by the idea of resurrection, they took St. George to a cemetery and through a prayer a body came out of the grave. Eventually St. George was taken to the pagan temple, where he called out the demons that inhabited the idols, which claimed they were not gods. Ultimately he was beheaded on April 23, 303 AD. #xroniapolla #george #saintgeorge #growingupgreek #growingupgreekstyle #greekorthodox #orthodoxy #yourparishcouncil #ascensionwillshinetonight #pascha #easter #georgia
