1.They do not accept the perpetual virginity of the THEOTOKOS,but they blasphemously say that PANAGIA gave birth to more children ,those who are called in the Gospel as siblings of the Lord ,but in fact they were Joseph's children from an earlier marriage to his first deceased wife.

2.They give no honor or greatness to Panagia, as to virtue and Sanctity above all saints, male and female,..but they think She is a common woman.

When...w...becomes:W...the word,Word...

        The erection of a beauteous temple and Monastery and especially on an Orthodox mission is a requisite priority.

Not only for practical reasons but also in order to constitute the perceptible symbol of God’s presence in the midst of

this people, in time and place, where the sacraments of God’s commenced and awaited kingdom will be ritualised.

The Lord's Resurrection comprises the beginning, the starting line of the athletes, disciples of Christ, and the expansion of their mission to all corners of the globe, so that the victory of Christ, the triumph of the Lamb, the preaching of the Gospel, the salvation of the human nature, the "Hidden Treasure ",the Pearl of Great Price of the Parable will be preached all over the world.

It will be the magnet for souls towards God, towards glorification of God, and as there is the identification,the union and the incorporation of the heavenly with the earthly, of the corruptible with the incorruptible,of the divine with the human through all the majesty of the monastical architecture, there will be a quintessence of spiritual life, a transcendence , a transubstantiation, there will be held a "Service "(inside the soul )prior to the Divine Service, a preparation, a precedence, a pre-mission contributing to the "Lord's Pascha ",to the passage and exit from the human weakness into the territorial waters of God’s omnipotence.

It will be "Light among the nations, in various languages, tribes, peoples..."

The embellishment of the Monastery, and of every Monastery and temple , comprises the visible symbol of glory to Trinitarian God in place.

( Thursday 22nd September 2016 )

Glory to Thee Mother of God,

Glory to Thee Mary,

showing our gratitude, we worship Thee Mother of the Almighty God.

From concept to prayer ,

from prayer to print ,

from printed to build  ,

from built to soul ,

from soulful to worship in words ,

from worship in words to "logical" worship , the divine service, having Christ in the midst of them and as:where the king is present, there the order exists, and where the king is, there is the Queen on Thee right..."

and "...whom do I have in heaven? There is noone on earth whom I desire besides you ...."Psalm 73:25.

Αnd as...everything is to be done in order,...

so angels, archangels surround the king...

And so do we.
