We are called to live holy lives, in the world but not worldly. This Lenten season has been a strong reminder. There were several times we have had to decline invitations or rearrange our schedules to allow the lenten activities to make a mark in our lives. Extra services, changes in eating habits, and opportunities to show charity by sharing our cash, time, and talents have been our focus.</div>

I am not accustomed to living on the Old Calendar and this year, with a very late Easter, this sense of separateness really struck home. It almost seemed as if the world went on without us, and we were left behind. We were picking up seasonal leftovers off the grocery shelves. Ads that used to feature bunnies and pastels are now covered with Mother’s Day sales and summer grilling promotions.</div>

<span style="line-height: 15.6px;">All of Orthodoxy is celebrating this weekend!

I have a new post on OCN, <b><a href="http://myocn.net/the-cobblers-repairs-and-lent/" target="_blank">The Cobbler’s Repairs and Lent</a></b>. It's about repairing a great pair of boots. And it's about Lent. Actually, it's about restoration. Here's a snippet:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yVbHsokPdDQ/VwsMUlOc6ZI/AAAAAAAACrw/IgflSqM7TTE6z6Z8gEsdhd_LK107NE_9Q/s1600/cowboy-boots-975112_960_720.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yVbHsokPdDQ/VwsMUlOc6ZI/AAAAAAAACrw/IgflSqM7TTE6z6Z8gEsdhd_LK107NE_9Q/s320/cowboy-boots-975112_960_720.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
"I received a pair of gray and black patent leather cowboy boots for my fortieth birthday. They were a gift from my mother-in-law. She thought cowboy boots would serve as a reminder of what American grit can accomplish and that I once lived in Colorado. I loved wearing them—that is until the heel broke. For the past few months they waited, slouched over with a detached heel, near the door to my garage waiting to catch a ride to the cobbler to be repaired."<br />
<br />
"We need more cobblers and fewer retailers. We need more seamstresses and fewer catalogs. We need more repairing and less replacing. I imagine fewer people are experiencing Lent with prayer, fasting and almsgiving because they don’t know what it means to repair anything. Everything broken is replaced with new. We’ve lost the art of restoration, and this spills into our spiritual life."<br />
<br />
"... if we aren’t used to repairing what is broken, if we just replace things when they are no longer a use for us, how will we make that association when we are spiritually broken? Most of us, when we are spiritually broken, just live with it. We forgive ourselves. We cry out 'No regrets!' or 'God must have had a plan.' But we are not repaired. We are not restored." <br />

Here we are! Third week down and we are half way there. How is it going?

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I have to say I went in with hesitation. Perfectly content to have waited until the movie was available on Netflix or DVD, we succumbed to see My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 in the theater as part of our Spring Break celebration. And I have to say, even before the movie was over I couldn’t wait to come home and write about it. I LOVED IT! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6AwGHQ04bmU/Vv3j4u2_obI/AAAAAAAACrA/teD2mWbyWQApBtV6-5ma4XjJIBU50Xh4g/s1600/MBFGW2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6AwGHQ04bmU/Vv3j4u2_obI/AAAAAAAACrA/teD2mWbyWQApBtV6-5ma4XjJIBU50Xh4g/s320/MBFGW2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sure there were some raunchy themes and one-liners peppered throughout the movie. My Greek was just good enough to get all of them. This I regret. But there were moments when I honestly laughed out loud and even moments I had to hold back the tears. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As a first-generation Greek-American, I found the movie was honest. It showed life for what it really was: confusing, unsure, constantly changing and never to be "fixed." <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love being Greek. We were a little like the Portokalis family. We ate roasted lamb for Easter every year and seafood most people only saw in an aquarium. Like Dancing Zorbas, my parents owned Athena Foods, a Greek grocery store where their friends would gather after a hard day’s work to shoot the breeze and catch up on the news from Greece. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We all worked at Athena Foods and took turns carrying the responsibilities of our family. We were always in your face and not quite aware that there were things you didn’t tell strangers because like Thea Voula, people weren’t strangers to us. Everyone was always welcome. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There came a time though where I learned that this was called dysfunction and that people shouldn’t be that close. I regret learning this. Families are close, messy, loud and in your face. I love that MBFGW 1 and 2 were not afraid to show the honesty and even the dysfunction of being Greek outside of Greece. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I hope you go to see this movie. Leave your expectations at home and just enjoy the gift of honesty and family Nia offers you. <o:p></o:p></div>

Yes, we've closed two weeks and are heading towards our Third Sunday of Lent. I love how the Church, in Her wisdom has brought the Cross to our attention. What a great reminder of why we are doing this. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Lent isn't a simple discipline or a diet. It is for salvation! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Look at the Gospel of Luke 9:22-26: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
And he said, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.”</blockquote>

Then he said to them all: “<b>Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.</b> For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self? Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.</blockquote>

Lent is a time to look at what truly matters and to make daily life decisions that will draw us closer to Him. Are we looking to gain the world? There is no salvation in gaining the world! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Are we ashamed of God, enough to be embarrassed to ask for a vegan meal at a catered event or when we go out to eat? I am not saying we should announce to the world that we are fasting. It's just that if there is an option, we should take it. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
And what about the struggles hunger brings. I think of those <b><a href="https://youtu.be/dbpFpjLVabA" target="_blank">Snickers commercials </a></b>where they talk about "hanger," when hunger induces anger. The tagline is “You are not you when you are hungry." But you know what? We are more ourselves because hunger reveals our passions. It brings them to the forefront so we can deal with them in a healthy way. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And in some ways, this is how our Cross is revealed to us. Is your cross Gluttony? Jealousy? Fear? Pride? When we remove ourselves from our comfort zone we see our faults more easily. We even see our strengths we didn’t know we had. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I encourage you to take time to see what your Cross is as we approach Sunday so that you can know your weaknesses and your strengths. Then you will have a more honest understanding of what we need to repent of. <o:p></o:p></div>

<blockquote>
<br />Lent is a three-legged stool of Prayer, Fasting and Alms Giving. If you try to balance on only one leg, you are sure to fall. It is very common for people to make this mistake when it comes to fasting during Lent. We often get distracted by the foods we are or aren’t allowed to eat, and forget about the extra prayer services and opportunities for charity.</blockquote>

Take a moment to look at your church calendar. Does the service schedule seem impossible for you and your family?

O Christ our God, begging forgiveness of our sins, we venerate your pure image O Good One.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We have closed a week of lent and here are a few thoughts running through my brain: </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">It's not all about the food</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's so easy to get caught up in the fasting part of Lent. When we focus only on food, we become very self-centered. It's all about us and what we physically put into our body. Yet, there are three legs to support this spiritual season we have entered and they are Prayer, Fasting, and Charity or more specifically, Giving Alms. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What are Alms? In an article on <a href="http://www.compellingtruth.org/alms.html" target="_blank">Compelling Truth</a>, "...<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">almsgiving was the act of filling a <b>material </b>need for someone less fortunate, usually by giving money." When we give alms, we focus on what we physically give to other bodies. We focus outside of ourselves. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">I want to work harder on looking outside of myself and offering to others. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We need the proper supplies</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Were you prepared for the vegan menu or were you caught off guard too? I was not prepared and found myself in a drive-thru too many times. So I reassessed my pantry and made sure I had the following: fresh veggies (spinach, zucchini, mushrooms, onions, potatoes), chickpeas for hummus, flour and yeast for bread, tomato sauce, dried beans, frozen pierogies, rice milk, and pasta. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I also had to be sure to fit a church service or two into my schedule. On Wednesday, I lost track of time and missed the presanctified service. I need to do a better job this coming week especially since Annunciation is Friday, and we have Liturgy.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.shop.vscardbox.com/Rejoice-90-004.htm" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ux7RTkjzDDg/UzDaulnNotI/AAAAAAAACE0/5QXkUan3tb4yQQFynCGM6GqEUyk_b1wTQ/s320/blogger-image-2009138718.jpg" width="224" /></a><span id="goog_260858203"></span><span id="goog_260858204"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We are different</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As a first generation American, I often feel a little left out of things. Now that My Big Fat Greek Wedding II is out, you have a good idea what this means. Being Orthodox, and temporarily on the "Old Calendar" those feelings have returned. We have just started our fast and there are wooden bunnies and Easter flags decorating my neighbors' yards (which seem too soon to me.) By next week, all the Peeps, jelly beans, hams and egg dyes will be gone and the grocery shelves will shift to Mother's Day and graduations, leaving us in the dust. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Temporarily being on the Old Calendar with such a late Easter/Pascha is interesting. It reminds me that we are different from the world; separate and not part of it. Sometimes I get distracted by trying to keep up with the world. A late Easter can cure that. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>And yes, there is the added benefit of cheap candy... </i></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
We won't be here forever. </h3>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's always good to "live like you were dying." Why do we focus on the temporal things and not the eternal ones, like our souls? </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I like how the Orthodox Church starts Lent off remembering the dead with three liturgies we call Saturday of the Souls. It serves as a proper inspiration to stay the course. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What we do during Lent is in preparation for our possible time in Paradise. </span></div>

Women received their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, that they might rise again to a better life. Others suffered mocking and scourging, and even chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were tempted, they were killed with the sword; they went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, ill-treated – of whom the world was not worthy – wandering over deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.</blockquote>
I never thought history would repeat itself but it has. Yet, in the midst of it all there is a little girl, Myriam, who has stolen my heart as a true example of Christ's teachings. <br />

It is hard to imagine how I’d respond if someone threw me out of my home and threatened my life for being a Christian.

I am intrigued by this as a Yankee living in the Deep South. I see many cultural nuances that are prominent in this part of the country. One is impeccable manners. The South is fuelled by etiquette and you don’t have anything if you ain't got good manners. A reply of “Yes, Ma’am.” or “Thank you, sir.” is ingrained into children the moment they can talk.</div>

There are hundreds of Christmas songs and hymns. They come in all different shapes and sizes and they range from fun to reverence. You may have heard of a song titled,<a href="https://youtu.be/ifCWN5pJGIE" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://youtu.be/ifCWN5pJGIE']);" style="color: #1b4986; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>“Mary, Did You Know?”</a> It’s about the amazing things Jesus did and questions if Mary knew after giving birth that her son would: walk on water, bring the dead to life, give blind men sight, heal the lame… “Did you know your baby boy was Lord of all creation?”</div>

When I first heard it, I thought it was odd that there would be a song about the Panagia from a perspective that she was truly surprised by Christ. Tradition teaches that the Virgin Mary was raised in the Temple and that the Angels kept her company. I imagine there were a few things she did know and that after a virgin birth, she was no longer surprised by much. You might say, she had “seen it all.”</div>

Speaking of Mary, did you know that the day after Christmas we celebrate the Synaxis of the Virgin Mary?</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 13px/1.2em "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0.5em 0px; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
Father Alexander Schmemann, in the Services of Christmas (1981) wrote about the Synaxis of the Most Holy Theotokos…</div>
<blockquote style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background: url("../images/icons/quotes.png") no-repeat 0px 8px rgb(255, 255, 255); clear: both; color: #777777; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: italic 1.2em/1.4em Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
<div style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; padding: 11px 0px;">
“… Combining the hymns of the Nativity with those celebrating the Mother of God, the Church points to Mary as the one through whom the Incarnation was made possible. His humanity—concretely and historically—is the humanity He received from Mary. His body is, first of all, her body. His life is her life. This feast, the assembly in honor of the Theotokos, is probably the most ancient feast of Mary in the Christian tradition, the very beginning of her veneration by the Church.</div>

Here are the lyrics to the hymn for her feast:</div>

He, who was begotten of the Father before the morning star, without a mother, becomes incarnate of you today, without a father. Wherefore, a star announces the good news to the Magi. Angels with shepherds praise your immaculate birth-giving, O Full of Grace.</div>

Furthermore, did you know that on the islands in Greece, the Marys, Marias, Panayiotis and Petes all celebrate on the Synaxis of the Virgin Mary, December 26, as opposed to the more commonly observed date of her Dormition?</div>

May the Virgin Mary embolden us when we are asked to do the impossible.</div>

A few weeks ago I flew to Houston for a presvytera retreat. We were instructed to wait at the baggage claim for the others and the shuttle bus. I arrived early and it was a pleasure to see my presvytera sisters come around the corner. We got a head start to our hugs and hellos, and caught up on each other’s news.</div>

As I kept an eye out for the shuttle I noticed a man in a cassock wandering the area. I had the sense he was waiting for a traveler. I didn’t go up and say hello, after all, I wasn’t the airport presvytera or hostess. I was technically off-duty.</div>

As the crowds cleared and the flow of travelers dispersed to their cars and rides, another lone man in a cassock appeared. This one was carrying a blue velvet mailbag, and immediately I knew who the first man was waiting for. It wasn’t this second traveler, but THE PANAGIA!</div>

Without any sense of fear or shame, I approached the gentleman and asked him directly if he was carrying a miracle icon. The poor man was a bit dazed, and as he mumbled his confirmation, I quickly followed with, “We are 15 presvyteres waiting for a shuttle to a presvytera retreat. Is it possible to venerate the icon before you leave?”</div>

What a blessing! He lifted the icon out of the velvet bag as we all drew near the sweet aroma of myrrh. One by one, we made the sign of the cross and venerated the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.orthodoxhawaii.org/" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://www.orthodoxhawaii.org/']);" style="color: #1b4986; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">“Hawaiian” Iveron Icon</a>.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is a tradition in the Orthodox Church to seasonally read the Psalms. Many of my friends will join a group and read the psalms during fasting periods... They divide them up and everyone gets a portion so that the entire psalter is read every day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I signed up this year to join a team and was given #11 out of 20, so I get to start in the middle. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thought I'd blog about it... perhaps you can hold me accountable. :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>The reading starts with the Trisagion Prayer.</strong> </span><br />

I called the Assumption Greek Orthodox Church right away and spoke with Fr. Sam (Sotirios) Dimitriou. He said the oil has been on the icon of St. John the Baptist since mid- July, but recently there was more activity. The icon is on the iconostasis, the icon screen that separates the altar from the nave. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> (<a href="http://myocn.net/oil-from-icon-is-a-sign-of-saints-pressence/" target="_blank">Keep Reading...</a>) </span></span></span><br />

A few years ago I watched a YouTube video of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="https://youtu.be/_CL9VcdZjig" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://youtu.be/_CL9VcdZjig']);" style="color: #1b4986; text-decoration: none;">Danny Kay singing with Nana Mouskouri and Harry Belafonte</a>. They sang<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em>Opa Nina Nina Nai.</em><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>or a slight rendition of it, and it touched a place in my soul I had ignored for years. I called my mom to see if she could explain it because I couldn’t figure out why such a delightful song would pierce me so deeply. She said my dad used to sing it all the time. My dad died 10 years ago.</div>

It pleased him when we Greek danced at weddings and social events. My father, a Greek immigrant, struggled at times to bond with his 4 American daughters. He loved to dance and Greek dancing was one of the ways we all connected. But what was it about this song, from all the other hundreds of songs we grew up listening to? As I sang it over and over in my head, tapping my foot and remembering my youth, I noticed one of the lyrics:</div>

These lyrics explain a lot about my dad. He had a rough start to his life. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> (<a href="http://myocn.net/have-you-learned-your-hadjidakis/" target="_blank">Keep Reading.</a>..) </span></div>
