    Apolytikion of Nativity -- light of knowledge or wisdom?

    Greetings: to all those on the New Calendar: Christ is born! Question for you, from a priest who is still a Greek hack. In the Nativity troparion -- Ἡ γέννησίς σου Χριστὲ ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, ἀνέτειλε τῷ κόσμῳ, τὸ φῶς τὸ τῆς γνώσεως· -- Is "the light of KNOWLEDGE" (as in, Knowledge OF Christ...

    Tropario de la Natividad -- sabiduría? conocimiento? Algo más?

    A todos que usan el calendario revisado Julián -- ¡Cristo ha nacido! ¡Glorifíquenle! Estaba tratando de traducir el tropario (apolotíquio) de la natividad, y tengo una pregunta acerca de una frase: Ἡ γέννησίς σου Χριστὲ ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, ἀνέτειλε τῷ κόσμῳ, τὸ φῶς τὸ τῆς γνώσεως· -- ¿Sería mejor...

    Respuesta a «¡Cristo ha nacido!»

    ¡Saludos! Sé que la respuesta a la exclamación «¡Cristo ha nacido!» es diferente en varias jurisdicciones (Glorifiquémosle / Glorifícale / Glorifíquenle). ¿Hay una versión que corresponda a Славіте en el Ruso? Muchísimas gracias a todos.

    Some help parsing Славіте

    Hello! Is Славіте, the response to "Christ is Born," in the first person plural subjunctive ("Let us glorify") or the third person singular or plural imperative ("(You / You all) Glorify!"), or something else entirely? Many thanks!

    Looking for a Particular Picture, Google not cooperating...

    Howdy -- long time, no post -- Looking for a picture I thought I had saved, not having any luck finding it online -- it's an oil painting of a young (not-gray-haired) priest, cassocked, long hair, long prayer rope around his wrist, very russian looking, with cross and icons on wall behind him...

    SVS "'New England' Professor/Priests" and Alveus'/Iconodule's Allegations

    Iconodule and Alveus Lacuna, I'm currently in my second year at SVS and would like to ask some questions; if you're going to cast aspersions (HERE and HERE) on my current place of education, I think you should back them up with facts: 1) What is "the" patristic view on the atonement, anyway...

    Proper Orthography of St. Cyril's "one nature" phrase

    Howdy - In writing a short paper for seminary, I'm a bit stuck on how to write a certain Greek phrase--the key "one incarnate nature of God the Word"--is the phrase spelled, "μία φύσις τοῦ θεοῦ λóγου σεσαρκωμένη," or μία φύσις τοῦ θεοῦ λóγου σεσαρχωμένη" I'm a stickler for language, so any...

    Help with a hymn

    A hymn on youtube has me stumped.  I've picked out words I know, like "цар Давида" = King David; "Господи" and variants= Lord; "Алилуя" = Alleluia, but none of them seem to fit any hymns I can find for the feast.  Any help in translating this to English would be appreciated...

    Jibril

    My sister's baby boy, Jibril, is the son of a Muslim man.  Today (7/13) is a commemoration of the Archangel Gabriel.  Jibril will grow up with a reverence for his namesake, but not for the One Whom he announced to the Theotokos.  Pray that the good Archangel would reveal the True God to my nephew.

    Prayer Requests for Newborn and Newly Departed

    If you'd be so kind as to add prayers for my friend Jonathan and his wife, Whitney; they've just delivered their first child, Lydia Grace, via C-Section yesterday, and she (Lydia) is in ICU due to respiratory failure. Pray to the Lord, to St. John the Evangelist and Theologian (whose memory we...
