CHURCH

PALOS HEIGHTS, IL 60463

On the night of the Resurrection, shortly before midnight, all the lights of
the church will be turned off. All but one of the vigil lamps will be blown
out, and the church with all the faithful will be covered in darkness.
Then, just before the light of the resurrection dawns to light the adorned
paschal candles, the chanters will chant a hymn that fittingly speaks of
the predawn darkness. This hymn is the 7th eothinon hymn and our
hymn of note for this month.
Lo, darkness and early dawn. And why, Mary, are you standing by the grave,
your mind full of darkness? Why do you seek where Jesus has been laid? But see
the disciples running together, see how they have realised the Resurrection from
the grave clothes and the napkin, and have remembered the Scripture concerning
this. With whom and through whom we too have believed and sing your praise O
Christ, the Giver of Life.
In that early dawn of the resurrection, once the obligatory Sabbath rest
had passed, Mary Magdalene rushed to the tomb of Christ. In the darkness of the predawn hours, she found the tomb empty. According to the
gospel narrative, she went back to the disciples and told them that the
body of Jesus was gone and that somehow it was moved. The apostles

“And what does the Lord require of
you? To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.”
Peter and John ran to the tomb and found it empty. The beloved apostle
John came to believe that Jesus had risen as soon as he got to the tomb.
Peter, on the other hand, went into the tomb, and found the grave clothes
and the napkin folded separately. The body was not stolen. Jesus had
risen indeed.
This detailed reference to the burial napkin is worth further explanation.
It was a custom at that time that when sitting at dinner, one would crumble up their napkin and throw it away if they were done with their food.
However, if one was just taking a break from eating, they would fold the
napkin, signifying that they would return. Therefore, seeing the napkin
folded separately, Peter knew not only that Jesus’s body was not stolen for who would bother to unwrap a dead body in an act of burglary under
the watch of the Roman guard – but that Jesus would return.
Mary, however, seeing the empty tomb, she did not assume
that Jesus had risen. She still
believed that someone had
moved the body. Her mind was
still in darkness, much like the
darkness that enveloped those
predawn hours. She rushed to
the tomb full of love for Christ,
but her grief and the darkness
of her mind did not allow her to
conclude that the Lord had risen from the dead.
All of us will come to the Resurrection service in a few weeks.
Having prepared throughout
Holy and Great Lent, with prayer, charity, fasting, and confession, having forgiven and having asked forgiveness, we will rush to receive the light amidst the darkness of the pre-Resurrection dawn. I hope and pray that we will not stay
in darkness but that we will receive the light not just on our Paschal candles, but deeper inside our hearts and minds. This light of the Resurrection, passed down from the disciples, with whom and through whom, we
too have believed, will move us all to singing praises to Christ our God
with every breath we take.
Looking a bit ahead to the eight eothinon gospel, Mary Magdalene, who
had a hard time believing in the resurrection, stayed by the empty tomb
after Peter and John had left. She stayed and wept. By her staying, she
then became the first to see the Risen Lord. I hope and pray, that on the
night of the Resurrection, we will all stay, with tears of joy to see not just
the empty tomb but to see the Risen Christ Himself. Amen.

CHOIR NEWS
IT’S NOT GOODBYE
The St. Spyridon Choir has recently received the news that one of our most beloved
songbirds will not be joining us anymore in the choir loft due to health reasons. Ida
Trakadas, for over 60 years has been singing the Lord’s praises not only with our
own choir but choirs throughout our Metropolis and the USA.
Ida was the tenth President of the Chicago Metropolis Federation of Church Music
Choirs, and attributes her dedication in perpetuating church choirs to her teacher and
mentor, Mr. George D. Dimopoulos, Protopsalti and Choir Director of the Sts. Constantine and Helen Church (Chicago/Palos Hills).
Mr. Dimopoulos encouraged her and was instrumental in furthering her vocal training. She began her musical training at an early age in piano but soon discovered that
her first love was singing. This led her to vocal training.
Ida was a member and soloist with the Marshall Field Company Choral Society and performed at Orchestra Hall
in Chicago, the Chicago Opera Company, Red Cross Entertainment Group, Hellenic Choral Society and other
choral groups.
She served as choir director at the St. Spyridon Church (Pullman-Roseland/Palos Heights) and as both interim
and assistant choir director at the St. Nicholas Church in Oak Lawn, Illinois.
Since its inception, Ida has served the Metropolis Choir Federation as committee worker, board member, secretary and vice-president as well as President. In 1982, with her beloved late husband, Kosta at her side, she organized the pilgrimage to the Holy Lands and Greece where members of our federation made history by singing
the Divine Liturgy in the church of the Holy Sepulchre. She also played an active role in the formation of the National Forum of Church Musicians, where she served as publicity coordinator.
Ida spent most of her working career as an administrator in the health care services. Currently Ida is enjoying
retirement traveling and volunteering for various organizations at St.
Spyridon.
We wish Ida well and know she will still be humming in the pews
with the choir.
God Grant You Many Years!!!
We thank you for your years of dedication.
Love,
Your fellow choir members and all the parishiones of St. Spyridon.

PHILOPTOCHOS NEWS
“Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things,
endures all things. Love never fails”. (1 Cor. 13:7-8)
In these words of St. Paul to the Corinthians we find the essence of the work
of Philoptochos. As the ones who love the poor, the ladies of Philoptochos
tend to everyone in need by giving them hope and faith that the love of God
never fails. In turn, the faithful of our Church have always responded to the
philanthropic ministries of Philoptochos through prayer and dedicated commitment.
We thank you sincerely for responding to the appeal of the St. Spyridon
Philoptochos on behalf of the Nika Alex family. Your act of kindness and generosity demonstrates an abundance of love and noble commitment to philanthropy.
The difficult journey of Nika Alex and his family started more than three years
ago when he was diagnosed with leukemia. After his bone-marrow transplant, the Philoptochos had
extended a helping hand through the St. Spyridon chapter and the Metropolis of Chicago Philanthropy
Fund. As the cancer reappeared three months ago and Nika’s family was once again in need, we appealed to all the faithful to assist the Philoptochos in taking care of this family.
The response has been wonderful and we thank you for your loving support. We kindly ask for your
prayers that Nika will recover and will return to his wife and two sons in perfect health.
On behalf of Nika’s family, please accept our gratitude and our prayers that our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ bless you and your family always.

GREEKS GOT TALENT!
On Friday, March 1st, 38 students from Plutarchos Greek School showcased their amazing talent at St. Spyridon’s 1 st annual talent show. The array of 24 performances ranged from acoustic guitar and bouzouki to singing in Greek and English, Tae
-Kwon-do with board breaking, rhythmic cup synchronization, piano playing, and crowd pumping dancers who lit up the
stage with their freestyle dance moves and neon glow apparel.
The contest was not judged this year, so all participants were winners and received a certificate of participation. A special
thank you to all parent volunteers, stagehands, and parents who supported our children.
“I am so proud of our youth. They are a group of exceptional kids with exceptional gifts! The talent show was awesome because of their hard work, motivation, and willingness. This is a great activity in which the youth can truly shine,” commented Maria Baltsas, who coordinated the memorable event.

Anticipating Holy Week and the
Resurrection of our Lord, our
Kentro of Orthodox Martyria
Bookstore
has
ordered
appropriate books, music and
worship
items,
including
lambades
candles
for
the
Orthodox Community that we
serve. As in the past years, we
feature Greek-English liturgical
works
such
as
THE
AKATHISTOS HYMN, HOLY
WEEK – PASCHA and more.
For your Lenten meals, we carry
a wide variety of Lenten
cookbooks. For your prosfora
needs, take a look at our high
quality wood prosfora seals
imported from Greece. Available
in three sizes, these seals
(sfrayides) were crafted with
loving care and skill by monks
from the monastery. The fine,
exacting “cut” carved into these
seals ensures a sharp, deep
impression not obtained by
plastic seals of lesser quality. For
truly
distinctive
prosfora,
consider purchasing one of our
seals.
And for your home, we have
renewed our supply of incense
(livani) and charcoal. Please
check out our newly expanded
line of 3x4 wood icons which
include many of the better known
Saints. These icons not only make
fine gifts, they also are a means of
introducing young people to the
meditative windows that the
Saints’ images represent and
inspire.
As always we appreciate your
patronage and pray that the
upcoming Holy Week will be
spiritually fulfilling for you and
your family.
