St. Nicholas October 2020 Monthly Update: @orthodoxobserver - A Message from His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros
My Beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I have good news to share with you! Thanks to the efforts of the Friends of St. Nicholas, and the cooperative work of our Archdiocese’s leading expert in Byzantine Iconography, Bishop Joachim of Amissos, and the renown iconographer, Father Loukas of the Holy Mountain (Xenophontos Monastery), we now are approaching – for the first time – an integrated and holistic iconographic program for the Saint Nicholas Shrine at Ground Zero. This has been a long time coming, because the vision of the interior of the Shrine is, in many ways, more important than even the exterior with its special architectural feature of illumination from within. Such ‘illumination from within’ is more pronounced in the Holy Iconography of the Church, as witnessed by the Παντοκράτωρ icon that you see here, that will adorn the interior of the dome.
Last week, Father Loukas traveled to New York from Mt. Athos, after working long-distance for weeks with Bishop Joachim to develop a program for the Church. Bishop Joachim prepared a remarkable presentation for the Friends of St. Nicholas, and together with Fr. Loukas, walked us (literally and figuratively) through the Shrine, in order to bring together the theological and aesthetic elements into a unified vision. For the first time, we now have inclusion of themes from 9/11 and the wondrous life cycles of St. Nicholas himself included in the Church.
It will be exciting to reveal this plan as it becomes finalized and the work of Father Loukas progresses on Mount Athos. Our Church is blessed to have two such talents – theological and aesthetical – who are working together to bring about the liturgical vision of our National Shrine, “on earth, as it is in Heaven.”
With paternal love and gratitude in Christ,
Elpidophoros Archbishop of America

Feast of the Holy and Glorious Great Martyr Saint Demetrius The Myrrh-Streamer: Monday, October 26, 2020: 9 am Orthros; 10 am Divine Liturgy. Thessalonica during the reign of Galerius Maximian (c. 306). He belonged to one of the most distinguished families of the province of Macedonia and was widely admired not only because of his noble ancestry and grace of bearing, but also for virtue, wisdom and goodness of heart surpassing that of his elders.
The military expertise of Saint Demetrios led Galerius, as Caesar of the Eastern Empire, to appoint him commander of the Roman forces in Thessaly and Proconsul for Hellas. But for all this, Demetrios remained ever aware of the underlying realities of life. Since faith in Christ had touched his heart, all the glory of this world meant nothing to him, and there was nothing he preferred to teaching and preaching the word of God.
This weekend we had the joy of celebrating the 6th Sunday of Luke: The Miracle of the Gadarene’s confusion, as we transition into fall on true love, God’s.
Divine Liturgy: Sunday, October 25: The Sixth Sunday of Luke: 9 am Orthros; 10 am Divine Liturgy. Church is Now Open for In Person Attendance.

Our Parish by the Grace and Leadership of His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople and His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America is using Multiple Spoons (a sanitized Communion Spoon for each Communicant) and individual spoon to administer the Sacrament of Holy Communion for the sake of our health and welfare during the COVID-19 Pandemic. This is historic but necessary. Remember what’s important: we’re in Communion with the Trinity of God, (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) Eucharist and with each other in Faith and at Church, not the way Communion is administered. Our Parish developed an elegant system of administering Holy Communion, which is seamless. Yours can, too? Check out the strength Father Alex uses to keep the Chalice firmly in place as he administers the Sacrament of Holy Communion without missing a beat administering Holy Communion and using a fresh spoon.

Also Have a Happy Thanksgiving Feast. The Dormition of the Virgin Mary Church Family will once again help provide Thanksgiving fixin’s for families in need. There is a Turkey located in the Narthex, whose feathers each have a food item listed on it. Pluck a Feather and bring the item listed back to Church to be distributed through Hamptons Community Outreach, a local charity working to distribute food to families who need it. Our Pluck-a-Feather food drive doesn't only provide fixin's for a great Thanksgiving Dinner, but also essential pantry items during the cold months of winter. Especially during this difficult period of the covid-19 pandemic, when so many are struggling to make ends meet, your generous participation is of critical importance. Won't you please "Pluck A Feather" and help a local family enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner? Please, return your food items to Church no later than November 8. Give Online

St. Nicholas October 2020 Monthly Update: @orthodoxobserver - A Message from His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros
My Beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I have good news to share with you! Thanks to the efforts of the Friends of St. Nicholas, and the cooperative work of our Archdiocese’s leading expert in Byzantine Iconography, Bishop Joachim of Amissos, and the renown iconographer, Father Loukas of the Holy Mountain (Xenophontos Monastery), we now are approaching – for the first time – an integrated and holistic iconographic program for the Saint Nicholas Shrine at Ground Zero. This has been a long time coming, because the vision of the interior of the Shrine is, in many ways, more important than even the exterior with its special architectural feature of illumination from within. Such ‘illumination from within’ is more pronounced in the Holy Iconography of the Church, as witnessed by the Παντοκράτωρ icon that you see here, that will adorn the interior of the dome.
Last week, Father Loukas traveled to New York from Mt. Athos, after working long-distance for weeks with Bishop Joachim to develop a program for the Church. Bishop Joachim prepared a remarkable presentation for the Friends of St. Nicholas, and together with Fr. Loukas, walked us (literally and figuratively) through the Shrine, in order to bring together the theological and aesthetic elements into a unified vision. For the first time, we now have inclusion of themes from 9/11 and the wondrous life cycles of St. Nicholas himself included in the Church.
It will be exciting to reveal this plan as it becomes finalized and the work of Father Loukas progresses on Mount Athos. Our Church is blessed to have two such talents – theological and aesthetical – who are working together to bring about the liturgical vision of our National Shrine, “on earth, as it is in Heaven.”
With paternal love and gratitude in Christ,
Elpidophoros Archbishop of America

Feast of the Holy and Glorious Great Martyr Saint Demetrius The Myrrh-Streamer: Monday, October 26, 2020: 9 am Orthros; 10 am Divine Liturgy. Thessalonica during the reign of Galerius Maximian (c. 306). He belonged to one of the most distinguished families of the province of Macedonia and was widely admired not only because of his noble ancestry and grace of bearing, but also for virtue, wisdom and goodness of heart surpassing that of his elders.
The military expertise of Saint Demetrios led Galerius, as Caesar of the Eastern Empire, to appoint him commander of the Roman forces in Thessaly and Proconsul for Hellas. But for all this, Demetrios remained ever aware of the underlying realities of life. Since faith in Christ had touched his heart, all the glory of this world meant nothing to him, and there was nothing he preferred to teaching and preaching the word of God.
This weekend we had the joy of celebrating the 6th Sunday of Luke: The Miracle of the Gadarene’s confusion, as we transition into fall on true love, God’s.

Sunday School classes are underway at Dormition of the Virgin Mary! Following local and state guidelines, we limit the capacity of each classroom to ensure physical distancing. We are encouraging parents to pre-register their children for each Sunday they plan to come to Church. Pre-Registering will save your child a spot, and help our Sunday School teachers to plan. Students who are not registered will be admitted to Sunday School only on a first come first serve basis and may not be permitted to attend. Please pre-register today going to our website: https://dormitionhamptons.org and filling out the form for each Sunday School Student in your family.

Each room has a fixed maximum capacity which allows for a certain number of students and two Sunday School teachers. In order to maximize the learning experience of our students, parents are asked to refrain from entering the classrooms unless expressly invited to assist by the Sunday School Director or Clergy. Desks will be positioned with at least six feet between them in all directions.We thank in advance for your cooperation with these protocols. Thank you.

Our Parish by the Grace and Leadership of His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople and His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America is using Multiple Spoons (a sanitized Communion Spoon for each Communicant) and individual spoon to administer the Sacrament of Holy Communion for the sake of our health and welfare during the COVID-19 Pandemic. This is historic but necessary. Remember what’s important: we’re in Communion with the Trinity of God, (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) Eucharist and with each other in Faith and at Church, not the way Communion is administered. Our Parish developed an elegant system of administering Holy Communion, which is seamless. Yours can, too? Check out the strength Father Alex uses to keep the Chalice firmly in place as he administers the Sacrament of Holy Communion without missing a beat administering Holy Communion and using a fresh spoon.
