Many many thanks to all those who contributed to match a generous $3000 donation from an anonymous donor. The goal was attained this past weekend. It is because of people like you that the Mystagogy Resource Center can continue to offer unique material to all for free on a daily basis that I hope people find beneficial. For those who still wish to contribute, please do so, with much gratitude in return. God bless you all!

Eurovision Contestant Visits Ecumenical Patriarch


George Alkaios brought to reality his biggest dream this morning when he met with Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew in Constantinople. He met with the Patriarch to receive his blessing for representing Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010.

It should be noted that in the last few years it has become a tradition for Greek singers taking part in Eurovision to visit the Phanar to receive the blessing of the Orthodox Primate.
