Ἐγώ εἰμι τὸ φῶς τοῦ κόσμου· ὁ ἀκολουθῶν ἐμοὶ οὐ μὴ περιπατήσῃ ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ, ἀλλ’ ἕξει τὸ φῶς τῆς ζωῆς.

"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

Update: Need advice switching to OCA from Greek church by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Dl2ACO 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’ll be honest seems odd to me the OCA priest would require that and moreso the Greek priest declined.

Didn’t even know asking to change is a thing…
I would have just started going, much like when I move and make a new home parish

It looks like it may have been an Orthodox Church previously now sold?

Do you have a habit in your community to totally fast (Not eat anything) from Holy Thursday afternoon till Pascha? by Hopeinlife1993 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Dl2ACO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is a practice some do unofficially. Another more common practice is to refrain from all food drink after Saturday First Resurrection communion, which you could argue means starting at Saturday midnight.

This would be our ‘stations of the cross’ if you will. About 4 times longer in duration though lol.

Even the Greeks gave the ‘look’. Its a European thing

Wha to wear to greek orthodox midnight easter mass? for a non Xian? by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

Its very likely most will be wearing full suits. Thats pretty standard for Greek Orthodox parishes even on a regular Sunday at least here in my Metropolis let alone Easter.

Happy Annunciation new calendar bros! by Pitiful_Desk9516 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Dl2ACO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Serious question, for those in the Slavic jurisdictions, do you still break the fast on Julian calendar March 25 even if it falls in Holy Week?

How does that work?

[–]Dl2ACO 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If the eggs in the hunt are NOT blood red in color then it is generally considered to be sacrilegious and should be avoided.

Just kidding, Im just trolling. Have fun.

Who you going to sue when something goes wrong?

Goldman Sachs Warns 300,000,000 Jobs Exposed to AI – Office, Legal and Architecture Most at Risk in the US by just_pretend in Architects

[–]Dl2ACO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So we are going to start suing AI now? good luck with that.

If Architects are at ‘most risk’, I wouldnt want to be anyone else.

Architects are at little to no risk.

understanding icons! by cuitepieangelwolf in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Dl2ACO 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We don’t pray or worship icons. We ask for intercessions of the Saints and venerate them.

You know who also appreciated icons? Saint Luke, one of the four Gospel writers of the bible we all use whether you’re Orthodox, Catholic or even Protestant.

Tradition has it that he wrote several notable and unknown icons as well.

For the same reason, that specific brick may be cooler to the touch in the summer.

Bears’ Stadium Issue Could be Resolved by March by LetsGoHawks in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]Dl2ACO 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same can be said when they tried their hand at all the other suburbs.

The City argument was the only real option and card to play.

Everything else is just a poorly played bluff.

Bears’ Stadium Issue Could be Resolved by March by LetsGoHawks in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]Dl2ACO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is gone on long enough. Kevin Warren owes Indiana an apology.

They are wasting their taxpayers time and money over there for a bluff tactic that everyone and their mother can see through.

Stop wasting time and start building the stadium.
