My priest is celebrating 45 years since ordination this coming weekend. I want to get him something but am torn. Please vote or give other great ideas.

After three years of trying to conceive and only a handful of confirmed ovulatory cycles, my husband and I have finally put a deadline to my infertility treatments... this July. After July, we are going to take some time off (at least a year, maybe more) from all of this stuff and just enjoy...

I have pulled up some older threads on the Kabbalah, and have come across some statements that concern me. I finished, about a month ago, Michael Berg's book "The Secret." It was suggested to me as my husband and I continue to seek happiness despite our infertility woes. After I finished...

Hello everyone. I could go on and on about my background but don't want to put anyone to sleep. I'm not asking this in opening up a debate or anything like that... I just have a simple question. It is my understanding that Adam and Eve were Jewish. And, of course, their off-spring are...

Kind of a strange topic here but it crossed my mind today as I was listening to some music in my car on the way to work. As most of you know, I strayed (quite a ways from) the church in my early to mid 20's. Luckily my husband brought me back. However, while I was "gone" I wasn't trying to...

My brother (who is not practicing Catholic) wanted to know which mass it was that the priest got out the incense and blessed the altar and wore the gold cloak. His wife really wants to go to a mass and he wants to take her to that one. I always thought that that transpired at Good Friday...

I'm not really certain why I feel compelled to write this to you, but I do. It is my opinion that Satan (his demons, etc.) are among us... not just in things that some might believe as evil (like abortion or murder or whatever else) but in the form as a DEMON or a presence. :crossrc: I...

Ok, first time in a very very long time that I can actually take a pregnancy test before my cycle comes to an end. I'm supposed to test tomorrow morning... HOWEVER... My husband has a very very very important day on Wednesday and I'm afraid that if I test and get a negative, he'll be...

Ok, long story short, right before communion, our priest asked for an additional eucharistic minister and he left the building for a short while. I think he was :sick: . Anyway, when he came back in, the chalice and whatnot (I should know all the terms here, but I don't :blush: )were...

I added a little sentence to it at the bottom. Ellen, bless her heart, didn't announce her pregnancy because she was afraid of my feelings (because we can't seem to get prego). But, like I explained to her in Bill and Eva's prego thread, I don't get emotional or jealous of this (praise God)...

Thank you so much for the Antidoron (unblessed, of course ;) ). I really feel welcome here and really enjoy learning about the Orthodox faith. I will proudly display my gift. ...when I received it, I actually had a tear in my eye. If only the world was as peaceful as we can be. :hug: to...

Was so sad to be away from you guys this morning. Do you yahoo?

Seems like every few months or more something peaks my interest in the EO... so, as usual, I have a few questions. My first very simple question is, do you call your service a mass? I was so very naive growing up in Catholic schools that I thought all Sunday services for all religious...

As a first anniversary gift to each other (nearly 5 years ago), my husband and I purchased a beautiful (albeit, a PRINT) Icon of the Mother of God holding baby Jesus (I have the exact icon as my avatar). It's been hanging proudly in our home ever since. My question to you is, what is the...

http://www.christianforums.com/t4664424 Please come post here. I find this thread interesting in GT. It's about giving communion to babies... I did not know that the EO gives communion to babies. They are wanting to ahve a discussion as to why other religions don't. A knowledgeable...

I shouldn't assume that everyone here in TAW is Greek Orthodox, but I imagine there are a few. Can you direct me to some really good greek secular music? I LOVE that kind of music... like belly dancing type music. I went to eat at a greek restaurant recently (complete with the flag...

I thought I'd post this because I know I'm not the only one struggling with infertility. I did not learn about this story until last night... a friend of mine has two twin children. I remember her telling me that she had the same diagnosis that I had. She and her hubby tried for 4 years to...

I've started to read the Bible passages a week before mass to sort of "break it open" in detail. However, I thought we were in year C but my readings didn't match what was being read at church. Any ideas?
