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!

Where Christmas is Annually Celebrated in a Cave


Like every year, His Eminence Metropolitan Amphilochios of Kisamos and Selinon presided over the Christmas Divine Liturgy, on Christmas Eve, in the Cave of St. John the Hermit in Marathokefala, Kisamos. The fires, shepherds, animals and the natural surroundings of the Holy Cave, as well as the Byzantine splendor of the shrine, affect the souls of thousands who came to worship and mentally travel to the Holy City of Bethlehem, where Christ our Savior was incarnated.
