First Canadian Orthodox Christmas experience for displaced Ukrainians

 First Canadian Orthodox Christmas experience for displaced Ukrainians

  Gadaiev Family with Saint Nikolas

 

 

Alex and Anna Gadaiev arrived in Canada on the last plane to leave Ukraine for Canada almost eleven months ago. Their family has started a new life in Southern Manitoba, and Alex and his daughter Maiia shared their thoughts on their first Canadian Orthodox Christmas experience. 

Alex explained there were some adjustments they needed to make.  

"We just had Christmas and New Year. It was our first experience in this country, and it was something special and something different. First of all, the dates were moved. We usually used to celebrate it a little bit later, like on January 6th, but this time, we celebrated it, as all Catholics do, in December before New Year's Eve." 

The family attends the Parish of All Saints of the Ukrainian People at St John's Catholic Church in Morden. The Gadaiev children were part of the Christmas program, and Alex shared what it was like to experience this sacred time in Canada. 

"It was nice, but we still remember where we're from, and that's why we joined the Ukrainian community to organize that performance named Vertep, which represents the Christmas event as it was. It was nice event our kids were involved in that, and I believe that they did well. We will keep all our traditions."  

Maiia expressed mixed feelings about her first Christmas in Canada.  


"We had turkey. It was my first turkey in my life, with potatoes and salad. It's fun, and you have people who you can talk to, they're like family, but your real family, you miss them sometimes. It was a little lonely, because usually we have Christmas with our grandmas and all our families." 

She really enjoyed being part of the program at the church. 

"It was fun. It's not like a play where everyone will know what you're going to say. If you forgot what you should say, you can say something else, and no one will know about it, and like we put on different costumes and it's so fun." 

Alex said being away from home at Christmas is not the most pleasant feeling, but considering what is happening back in Ukraine, he is grateful for the safe and welcoming community here in Manitoba.

 Cardinal Lacroix recalls Benedict XVI's gentleness, care for Canadian Church

 

 Canadian Cardinal Gérald Lacroix of Quebec speaks to Vatican News about his memories of Benedict XVI, and recalls the late Pope Emeritus as a "humble servant in the Lord's vineyard."

 

 By Deborah Castellano Lubov & Jean-Charles Putzolu

 

 Cardinal Gérald Cyprien Lacroix has recalled Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI's great gentleness and closeness, calling him a truly "humble servant in the Lord's vineyard."

The Archbishop of Quebec, who was among the more than 120 cardinals present at Benedict XVI's Requiem Mass on Thursday morning, did so in an interview with Vatican News’ Jean-Charles Putzolu, following the celebration in St. Peter's Square.

 

 

“There were more than 4,000 priests, 400 bishops, at least 120 cardinals, with an an enormous crowd of men and women from all over the world, who came to pray, to give thanks and to present to God this humble servant in the Lord's vineyard that Benedict XVI was.”

Charism of authenticity

The Cardinal said he went twice to pay his respects to the Pope Emeritus while he was lying in state in St. Peter’s Basilica earlier this week.

"I watched the faithful pass by with a respect, a silence that you almost never hear in the Basilica, when there are tourists," he said.

While present at the General Audience where Pope Francis praised Benedict XVI as a "master of the catechists," Cardinal Lacroix shared his delight in seeing “the gratitude for this man who was not exuberant, who did not have the charisma of his predecessor or his successor, the charisma of the crowds, but who had the charisma of authenticity, of truth, of love and of his link with the Lord which was visible in his being.”

“He was a luminous being, Benedict XVI. I was honoured to be there also on behalf of the people of Quebec and of Quebec, of the French-speaking people of Canada.”

 

 

The Cardinal encouraged the faithful to return to the late Pope Emeritus' writings, speeches, homilies, and books, which, he said, “deserve to be explored and developed further.”

Benedict's care for Canada

Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, he recalled, had done much for Canada, including "being the first to welcome a delegation of indigenous people in 2009 to begin this long process of reconciliation," and the one "who canonized the first indigenous woman in North America: Kateri Tekakwitha and Brother André, also from Montreal." 

Cardinal Lacroix also recalled that when he was appointed Archbishop, Benedict XVI had said to the Apostolic Nuncio, "When Bishop Lacroix accepts the responsibility, tell him that I want to see him fifteen days after he begins his ministry."

Admitting he was very curious as to why the Pope wanted to see him, the Canadian Cardinal expressed joy and appreciation that upon his arrival in Rome, the late Benedict received him for almost a half hour only to encourage and listen to him, offer some good advice, and thank him for accepting.

 

 

“It was done in great simplicity, with a penetrating look, a tenderness, a gentleness. But I felt that he supported me, that he had confidence in me. And that touched and supported me enormously.”

Personal memories

Cardinal Lacroix recalled that when Pope Francis created him a Cardinal in 2014, Benedict XVI came to attend the celebration. “He didn't do it often, but he came.”

The Cardinal said he remembers immediately going downstairs after receiving the biretta, the Cardinal's ring, and the parchment designating his Rome parish.

“He was the first person I greeted. He welcomed me with open arms and said, 'Ah, Quebec!' At first, I was surprised that he recognized me. 'Quebec, it takes a lot of hope to serve in Quebec.' That touched me greatly.”

 

 Cardinal Lacroix said he keeps those precious memories close in his heart.


The Canadian Armed forces should boycott Fiberals from using any Armed Forces properties or transportation from now on!

     Since Turdeau and the Fiberals have attacked the Canadian Armed Forces with witch-hunts of fake sexual harassment, fake racism, denying veterans benefits and instead suggesting assisted suicide, refusing to re-supply our forces with needed equipment, Turdeau's plane should not be allowed on military properties any longer, the Canadian Armed forces should boycott Fiberals from using any Armed Forces properties or transportation from now on!

City of Gladiators Earthquake Shattered Fountain Flows After 2,000 Years

City of Gladiators Earthquake Shattered Fountain Flows After 2,000 Years




An ancient fountain that was destroyed in a 23 BC earthquake has been restored in Turkey's “City of Gladiators.' Now, the two millennia old water font is streaming drinkable water again, just as it did some 2,000-years ago.

Unearthing Turkey’s Ancient City Of Gladiators

The ancient city of Kibyra, or Cibyra Magna, is situated in the township of Gölhisar in the southwestern Burdur Province of Turkey. In ancient times it represented the capital city of an independent state known as Cibyratis, that lay just outside the north-western limits of the ancient province of Lycia, that thrived in Anatolia from 15-14th centuries BC, and as Lukka until 546 BC.

Strabo recorded Kibyra as having originally been settled by ‘Lydians,’ who were indigenous people in this region of Asia Minor. These people constructed over 100 stadiums and after the Roman general Lucius Licinius Murena defeated the ruler of Kibrya in 83 BC the city became part of the greater Roman province of Asia. Listed on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List , ancient Kibyra is known as the “City of Gladiators.” Now, archaeologists have announced that “a colossal fountain” has been restored and that it will “flow with fresh water for the first time in 2,000 years.”

Piecing Together An Ancient Masterpiece

Dr. Sukru Ozudogru, an archaeologist at Mehmet Akif Ersoy University, recently told Anadolu Agency ( AA) that his team of archaeologists have spent the past four months collecting “150 original fragments from the ruins.” Now, they have successfully “pieced the architectural masterpiece back together.” The “round-planned fountain” measures 15.24 meters (50 ft) in diameter by 7.92 (26 ft) high and after being built it was used for more than 600 years.

A report in Daily Mail says the team of archaeologists have also restored the original water supply system from the spring, so that the fountain now flows with drinkable water “just the way it did 2,000 years ago.”

Dr. Ozudogru described the water from the restored fountain as “spouting from the mouths of lion and panther.” Not only do these two animals feature heavily in Roman mythology but they are two of the animals that gladiators fought in the arenas. Incidentally, it was after the discovery of the “10,400-person stadium” that hosted hundreds of gladiatorial fights that Kibyra became known as the “City of Gladiators.”

Rebuilding What Nature Attempted To Destroy

Blending both Roman and Byzantine architectural styles, during the 1000 years of the Roman empire the city became famous for its blood-thirsty gladiatorial contests. However, a 23 BC earthquake almost flattened Kiybra, and if it were not for diligent citizens in the aftermath rebuilding the giant fountain it would have been lost in time long ago.

The AA article said the restoration of the fountain and its two pools required “68 original architectural pieces and 24 imitation blocks produced from the original stone type.” Furthermore, it was observed that the original fountain featured one large circular pool and the second pool was added decades later. Dr. Ozudogru maintains that when the fountain was functional, some 2,000-years-ago, the two circular pools supplied potable water to four different parts of the city. 

 


 

 

 

Sticking With The Original Plan

As far as aesthetics are concerned, fragmentary remains informed the researchers the original fountain was detailed with “elaborate statues of animals, huge columns and embossed friezes.” The archaeologists used two moldings taken from original sculptures that were both unearthed during recent excavations, and the originals are currently being exhibited in the Burdur Museum.

The researcher explained that in Roman times “Water was a mythological hero” that flowed into the two pools from the mouths of “lion and panther” statues. Relating these two animals to Roman mythology “ Heracles lay on a panther skin and Dionysus, the god of wine, wore a lion skin," according to the professor. However, both of these animals were fought by gladiators in the 10,400-person stadium in Kibrya, which Akkurnaz explained “was a building designed for an assortment of blood-soaked spectacles, including gladiator fights and wild animal fights”.

Pope Benedict XVI allowed himself to pass in to the Kingdom of Light


     

    I am not a religious man but I am now a Spiritual man, I was baptized and raised French Roman Catholic but if I was religious I would be a Protestant perhaps but my true religion is Creativity and the Laws of Nature but I have come to believe that each religion is all based on the same energy and connection to a Higher Power like Father Nature. A guy I did stone masonry for and I made fun of him from what he described I have now experienced the Holy Spirit or Holy Trinity to my understanding, I have many Physics and scientific explanations for this but a lot I cannot explain. I made fun of religious people for decades and actually thought they were all insane and weak minded and I apologize and feel bad for that now but I am not going to endorse a one religion but understand it is all interpretations of the same thing, I like earth based religions for their symbolism and history that are not evil nor wrong, it is Nature or God, Good VS Evil means we are all Arch Angels or Devils Two sides of the same coin that can be flipped at anytime "metaphorically" to serve a propose to do a job as Nature or God deems it necessary for that time like now to cleans the earth and bring balance back to "The Force" as it were.

    Pope Benedict XVI (Joseph Aloisius Ratzinger) was one of us and tried to bring Conservatism and Traditionalism back to Catholicism and even though I am not a Catholic we must respect the man and what he tried to do, he could not continue due to age and health but I believe he felt a great change and let himself slip into Gods hands knowing what he wanted was coming this New Year finally.

God Bless Joseph Aloisius Ratzinger and may he Rest In Peace!
