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!

People light candles in small caves near the Mar Saba Monastery in the Judean desert, east of the Palestinian West Bank city of Bethlehem, Dec. 18, 2014. The Greek Orthodox monastery, which was built in the fifth century AD, currently houses some 20 monks and has been occupied almost continuously since it was founded, which, according to the Web site of Israel's tourism ministry, makes it one of the oldest inhabited monasteries in the world.
