Dear Readers and Supporters: Last March I told you about an anonymous long time friend and supporter of this ministry who fell on hard times, and a generous portion of you volunteered to help her financially to prevent her eviction and car repossession. Unfortunately, once again she and her child are in a similar difficult position, though a little bit worse. I hate to see this happen to her and not try to help in any way. So if once again you can help out with a financial contribution, it would be greatly appreciated. You can contribute to her through the link below. My hope is that we can raise around $3000. Thank you.
Day 7: Total So Far: $838

The Lord Responds To His Mockers


Below is one of the most powerful, beautiful and moving hymns chanted in the evening of Holy Thursday in both Greek (chanted by Protopsaltis Photios Ketsetzis) and English (chanted by Vassilis Hadjinicolaou). It is sung in Plagal of the Second Mode, which is known as the Mode of Joyful Sorrow.


Εξέδυσάν με τα ιματιά μου και ενέδυσάν με χλαμύδαν κοκκίνην· έθηκαν επί την κεφαλήν μου στέφανον εξ΄ ακανθών και επί την δεξιάν μου χείραν έδωκαν κάλαμον, ίνα συντρίψω αυτούς ως σκεύη κεραμέως.


They have stripped Me of My garments and clothed Me in a scarlet robe. They have set upon My head a crown of thorns And have given Me a reed in My right hand, That I might dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
