Christ is risen, and life reigns! Christ is risen, and not one dead remains in a tomb! – From the Paschal homily of St. John Chrysostom We have begun our journey to the resurrection. The bookstore has a great selection of resources to complete your lenten journey. Please visit our lent- en & Pascha display table inside the bookstore. Archimandrite Papavassiliou’s Meditation for Great Lent is a gem of a book to inspire you for the Fast and to give you encouragement as you pursue your Lenten journey. Meditations for Holy Week is an insightful read to help us enter fully into the most rich and in- tense period before Pascha. Other wonderful books to consider are Alexander Schmemann’s Great Lent: Journey to Pascha, or Thomas Hopko’s The Lenten Spring. A great addition to all Orthodox homes to enter into the lenten mind- set is: The Lenten Triodion. A truly great publication by our Archdiocese is the guide: Journey Through Holy Week. We spend a lot of time in church services during Holy Week, and in these services we participate in the last days of Jesus Christ’s earthly life. The purpose of this guide is to shed light on your journey through Holy Week’s services and to help you understand what is happening in them and what they mean for us as Orthodox Christians. Looking for children’s gift books, consider Holy Week and Pascha, The Bible for Young People, We Pray, The Miracle of the Red Egg, The Resurrection, When God Made You, H is for Holy, A Boy’s Journey to Sainthood, Yiayia and the Prosphoro, to name a few. We also stock children Paschal Orthodox Ac- tivity books: My Book of Great Lent and My Book of Holy Week (text in both English and Greek), and Beautiful Things: Orthodox coloring book. In need of other Pascha basket gifts we have a beautiful selection of resurrection icons, diptych icons, wooden budded wall crosses, prayer rope bracelets, My Greek Home Icon bracelets, Akathist Hymn books, and pocket prayer books. If you are looking for liturgical music, we stock a variety of CDs chanted by the nuns of the Life-Giving Spring Monastery, Akathist Hymns, St. Vladimir’s Pascha, Eikona’s Pascha, and Hymns of Holy week from our choir. Lastly, our traditional Greek Orthodox Holy Week Service book by Fr. George Papadeas is in stock too. continues 7 TUNE INTOLIVESTREAM
