O Prophet and Forerunner of the coming of Christ, all we who honour you with love are at a loss to

The Three Saviours (Spasy)

In the month of August there are three holidays related to the Lord Jesus Christ, our Saviour,

which in church Ustav are called the First Saviour (Spas), the Second Saviour (Spas) and the

Third Saviour (Spas) . All three feasts of the Saviour connect between them the days of the

Dormition Fast, which lasts from August 14th to the 28th.

The First Saviour (Spas) is the feast of the Presentation of the Holy

and Life-giving Cross, celebrated on August 14th. The presentation

took the form of a ceremonious procession, in which the Lord’s

Cross was carried out on this day August 14th. In Ukrainian tradi-

tion the feast of the First Saviour (Spas) is associated with the cus-

tom of eating freshly gathered honey and poppy seed which is

blessed in Church.

August 14 - “

On August 19th the Second Saviour (Spas) - the Transfiguration of

Our Lord is celebrated. This important event in Christ’s life on

earth occurred not long before His Crucifixion. In order to sustain

His disciples faith when they would see Him suffering, the Lord

first showed them His divine glory. In Ukrainian tradition the feast

of the Second Saviour (Spas) is associated with the custom of

eating apples and other fruits and vegetables that are blessed in

Church.

From Orthodox Pathway: The Orthodox Church is one Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church in which

resides the fullness of Christian truth. It is holy because its head, the Lord Jesus Christ, is holy and made

it the unique vehicle of sanctification; it is Catholic because it knows no limitation of time or place and

encompasses within itself the entirety of Christ’s Church, and it is Apostolic because it alone has main-

tained, with unbroken continuity and without any alteration, the faith of the apostles through the ages.

You will find the deeper, authentic spiritual life you are looking for in the splendid and moving worship of

the Orthodox Church.

Від равославного Шляху: Православна Церква - це Свята, Всесвітня і Апостольська ерква. Вона -

є Свята, тому що голова цієї еркви - Ісус Христос, Cвята і має унікальній засіб освячення; вона - є

Всесвітня, тому що вона не має обмеження в часі або місці і охоплює в собі всю повноту Христової

Церкви, і вона - є Апостольською, тому що тільки вона зберегла, з безперервною

спадкоємностю без будь-яких змін, віру апостолів крізь століття. Ви знайдете більш глибоке,

справжнє духовне життя, яке ви шукаєте в прекрасній і зворушливій молитві Православної Церкви.

The Third Saviour is the commemoration of the Image

of Our Lord Not-made-by-hands, celebrated on August

29th. Icon written without hands. In Ukrainian tradi-

tion the Third Saviour is popularly called Khlibniy

(bread) Spas because it is associated with the harvest

of crops.

Holy, Glorious Prophet Elijah

July20/August 2

The Holy Prophet Elijah is one of the greatest of the proph-

ets and the first dedicated to virginity in the Old Testament.

He was born in Tishba of Gilead into the Levite tribe 900

years before the Incarnation of the Word of God.According to

the Tradition of Holy Church, the Prophet Elijah will be the

Forerunner of the Dread Second Coming of Christ. He will

proclaim the truth of Christ, urge all to repentance, and will

be slain by the Antichrist. This will be a sign of the end of

the world.

The life of the holy Prophet Elijah is recorded in the Old Tes-

tament books (3 Kings; 4 Kings; Sirach/Ecclesiastes 48: 1-15;

1 Maccabees 2: 58). At the time of the Transfiguration, the

Prophet Elijah conversed with the Savior upon Mount Tabor

(Mt. 17: 3; Mark 9: 4; Luke. 9: 30). Orthodox Christians of all times, and in all places,

have venerated the Prophet Elijah for centuries. The first church in Ukraine, built at Kiev

under Prince Ihor, was named for the Prophet Elijah. After her Baptism Saint Olga (July

11) built a temple of the holy Prophet Elijah in her native region, at the village of Vibuta.

In iconography the Prophet Elijah is depicted ascending to Heaven in a fiery chariot,

surrounded with flames, and harnessed to four winged horses. We pray to him for deliv-

erance from drought, and to ask for seasonable weather.

Tropar, Tone 4:

An angel incarnate, the foundation of prophets and second forerunner of the coming

of Christ, glorious Elias sent grace from on high to Elisha to cast out sickness and

cleanse lepers. Therefore he pours forth healing for all who honour him.

Tithing – Membership – Pledge Десятина – Членство – Обов’язок

“Tithing is a Christian ideal worth striving towards. It is important to learn that our own

generosity is a commitment in maintaining our own Church building and various program-

ming that we wish to present throughout the year. It would be great and humbling, not to

rely on non Orthodox Christians, or guests to support us. As the Cathedral Dean, I humbly

ask, please help us to meet our yearly budget, by giving joyfully your 2017 membership

and tithe as soon as possible.

Thank you and God bless.”

Десятина – це є християнський ідеал до якого варто прагнути. Важливо знати,

що наша щедрість є власним зобов'язанням у підтримці нашої церковної будівлі та

різних програм, які ми хотіли б представити протягом усього року. Це було б

прекрасно і смиренно, щоб ми не розраховували на не-православних християн, або

гостей підтримувати нас. Як (Правління Церкви), смиренно

прошу вас, будь ласка, допоможіть нам задовольнити наш річний бюджет,

сердечно внесіть членські внески за 2017 та вашу десятину як можна

швидше.

Orthodox Christian Stewardship

“Orthodox Christian Stewardship is way of life, which acknowledges accountability,

reverence and responsibility before God. A primary goal of Stewardship is to pro-

mote spiritual growth and strengthen faith. Becoming a Steward begins when we

believe in God, to whom we give our love, loyalty and trust and act on those beliefs.

As Stewards, we affirm that every aspect of our lives comes as a gift from Him.

Stewardship calls on the faithful to cheerfully offer back to God a portion of the

gifts with which they have been blessed.”

"Православне християнське управління (керівництво, піклування) є способом

життя, який визнає підзвітність, повагу і відповідальність перед Богом. Основне

завдання управління (піклування) є сприяття духовному зростанню і зміцненню

віри. Піклування (управління) починається тоді, коли ми віримо в Бога, якому ми

даємо нашу любов, лояльне ставлення і довіру, а також ми діємо на основі наших

переконань. Як розпорядники ми стверджуємо, що кожен аспект нашого життя

приходить як подарунок від Нього. Стратегічне управління закликає вірних

вернути назад до Бога частину подарунків, які ми одержали з Божого

благословіння."
