• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Does anybody know if this line is in any of our services or prayers?

"You strangled Satan, passion bearer, with the godly strings of your suffering"

The only reference I found was from some recent obscure movie. I don’t need that.

If only I knew.
A man from my choir is asking me. I'm the local English expert...

Do we happen to know which day specifically this was chanted? There were a lot of passion-bearers in the month of July.

St. Vladimir, St. Nicholas, St. Panteleimon, Sts Boris and Gleb, and maybe others. If we knew which day specifically this appeared it may help us to find it.
