Philoptochos

As we prepare our hearts and our homes for the birth of the Christ Child we are reminded that there is no better way than giving to others who need our help. Philoptochos would like to thank all those who participated in our Annual Thanksgiving food drive. Without your generosity we would not be able to supply FOR THE CHILD and TRINITY HOMES and others in need in our Long Beach Community with Thanksgiving dinners. A special thank you to Olivia Varonos and the Sunday School children for decorating the bags to put all the canned food items. Our community has been doing this for 17 years and it is a true joy to see those who were small children, eagerly collecting food for Thanksgiving now passing their lesson of giving, to their Sunday School students. Our community is truly blessed. Thank you Kathy Bastas for your continued work with these agencies and our community and for always making sure we do our best to make sure others are taken care of. There is something a little different in the Narthex this year. There are two trees! Our traditional tree with names for gifts for the children of TRINTIY HOMES and this year we are introducing a Senior Tree. The senior tree is just to let those who are not able to live at home on their own or not able to come to church that they are not forgotten. Their gifts will be taken to them when Philoptochos does visitations during the holiday season. Please be sure to stop by and pick an item from either or both trees. Please join in the fun on December 8

th. Philoptochos will once again host the annual TRINITY HOME’S

CHRISTMAS PARTY. Along with the help of GOYA, there will be crafts, cookie decorating, food and a visit from no other than Santa himself. Remember Thursday 6:00 – 8:30 pm! If you have any questions, please contact Matoula or Sofie Batshoun @ 714-705-9314. LIGHT THE PATH will take place on Saturday December 10th at the BETTY RECKAS CULTURAL CEN-TER. Please join us and welcome the beautiful holiday season listening to inspired messages from our seminarians, enjoying a fantastic lunch and joining in the fellowship with others from our Metropolis. If you have not received your invitation yet, please stop by the Philoptochos table and mail in your reservation. It is a memorable way to start the holiday season.

Invitations for our annual Philoptochos Christmas Luncheon on Sunday, December 11th immediately after

Divine Liturgy have been mailed to all Philoptochos members. Please be sure to make your reservations in advance. Seating is limited. The price is $30 for adults and $13 for children under 12. Additional invita-tions are available at the Philoptochos table. For more information please contact Kathy Bastas at knbastas@aolcom , Karen Fic 562-416-5565 or Bobbie Soupos 714-307-1488. DATES TO REMEMBER 2017:

January 22, 2017 Cutting of the Vasilopita January 29, 2017 Feeding Children Everywhere

Karen Fic, President

Μήνες του Χειμώνα

ΔΕΚΕΜΒΡΙΟΣ

Ο τελευταίος μήνας του έτους, ο πρώτος του χειμώνα, ο δέκατος του παλιού ρωμαϊκού ημερολογίου από όπου πήρε και το όνομά του. Decem στα λατινικά είναι το δέκα. Είναι ένας μήνας γεμάτος από γιορτές, του Αγίου Νικολάου, του Αγίου Σάββα, της Αγίας Βαρβάρας, του Αγίου Σπυρίδωνα, του Αγίου Ελευθερίου και άλλες με μεγαλύτερη την γιορτή της γέννησης του Χριστού, τα Χριστούγεννα στις 25 του μήνα. Τον λένε και Χιονιά, Ασπρομηνά, Χριστουγεννιάτη, Χριστιανάρη, Δεκέμπρη, Άι-Νικολιάτη. Είναι ο μήνας με τις λιγότερες ώρες φωτός στο βόρειο ημισφαίριο και τις περισσότερες ώρες φωτός στο νότιο ημισφαίριο μια και ο ήλιος έχει τώρα τη μεγαλύτερη απόκλιση νότια του Ισημερινού. Στις 22 του μηνός είναι το χειμερινό ηλιοστάσιο οπότε η απόκλιση του ήλιου νότια του Ισημερινού αρχίζει να λιγοστεύει και έτσι αρχίζει να μεγαλώνει η ημέρα και να μικραίνει η νύχτα. Κατά την παράδοση στις 25 του μήνα ξεχύνονται οι καλλικάντζαροι στον επάνω κόσμο και παραμένουν μέχρι τα Φώτα οπότε εξαφανίζονται με τον αγιασμό των υδάτων. Είναι δαιμόνια τα οποία βγαίνουν από τη γη αυτό το δωδεκαήμερο που τα νερά είναι αβάπτιστα για να πειράξουν τους ανθρώπους. Φοβούνται τις φωτιές και τα κουδούνια, γι αυτό σε πολλές περιοχές της Ελλάδας ανάβουν φωτιές και τραγουδάνε χτυπώντας κουδούνια. ΙΑΝΟΥΑΡΙΟΣ: O πρώτος μήνας του χρόνου πήρε το όνομά του από τον θεό των Ρωμαίων, τον Ιανό (Janus). Ο Ιανός ήταν θεός με δύο πρόσωπα, τα οποία κοίταζαν σε αντίθετες κατευθύνσεις, γι αυτό τον αποκαλούσαν και...Janus bifrons δηλαδή διπρόσωπο Ιανό. Τα δυο του πρόσωπα συμβόλιζαν την αρχή και το τέλος, τη νιότη και το γήρας, την είσοδο και την έξοδο. Γι' αυτό και του αφιέρωσαν τον Ιανουάριο που σαν πρώτος μήνας του χρόνου, κοίταζε προς τον προηγούμενο χρόνο και προς τον επόμενο. ΦΕΒΡΟΥΑΡΙΟΣ Το όνομά του προέρχεται από το λατινικό ρήμα februare που σημαίνει καθαρίζω, εξαγνίζω. Ήταν αφιερωμένος στο θεό του Άδη Φέβρουο και στους νεκρούς γι αυτό και στη διάρκεια του οι Ρωμαίοι διοργάνωναν τελετές καθαρμών και εξαγνισμών. Με το παλαιότερο ρωμαϊκό ημερολόγιο ήταν ο τελευταίος μήνας του χρόνου και οι άνθρωποι έπρεπε να μπουν στον καινούργιο χρόνο καθαροί και αμόλυντοι. Με την καθιέρωση του Ιουλιανού ημερολογίου το 46 π.Χ. περιορίστηκαν οι ημέρες του από 30 σε 29 και την εποχή του

αυτοκράτορα Αύγουστου του αφαιρέθηκε άλλη μια μέρα η οποία προστέθηκε στον Αύγουστο και έτσι έχει 28 ημέρες, και 29 κάθε τέσσερα χρόνια, οπότε το έτος αντί 365 ημέρες έχει 366 και ονομάζεται δίσεκτο από το bis sextus (δις έκτη) δηλαδή δύο φορές η 24η του μήνα που ήταν η έκτη μέρα πριν από τις Καλένδες του Μαρτίου. Εμείς, τον λέμε Φλεβάρη επειδή τότε ανοίγουν οι φλέβες της γης, δηλαδή αναβρύουν πολλά νερά, τον λέμε και Κουτσοφλέβαρο, επειδή έχει λιγότερες μέρες.

Come meet them and join in our holiday fun. If you would like to attend please RSVP to Voula by December 2nd (at the office) and let her know. We will need a head count. Thank you and hope to see you there.

Announcements

Little Lambs Panagia's Little Lambs is off to a fantastic start. We

have celebrated so many weeks with songs, games

and crafts. We enjoyed our first outing to the pump-

kin patch and had a successful Trunk or Treat. The

kids all dressed up and loved going from car to car

getting bags filled with treats. Thank you to all the

parents who participated and took the time to decorate

your cars. We also planned an exciting day at the

park where the children were able to run and spend

more quality time together.

This month we have more fun activities

planned. Please join us with your little ones every

Wednesday 10:30-11:30. Watching our Panagia's

Little Lambs ministry grow is a blessing. Not only

do the children love to play together but parents get to

chat and share ideas! Thank you to all who participate

and make this ministry an important part of their

lives.

We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and

joyous New Year. May God continue to bless us all,

especially our children.

Love, Elizabeth Syrengelas
