St. Spyridon Greek Orthodox Church

FATHER NICOLAS' MESSAGE

My Beloved Friends and Parishioners of the Saint Spyridon family,

Christ is Risen!

We remember today the Myrrh-bearing women, as well as Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus. At the moment of the Crucifixion all the Apostles had fled. Only a small group of women stood at a short distance from the Cross, and when Christ had died, they came to anoint His Body which Joseph of Arimathea had sought from Pilate, unafraid of being recognized as a disciple because in both life and death, love and faithfulness had conquered fear.

May you and your loved ones share in the Love, Peace and Joy of this Holy Pascha.

Christ is Risen!

Fr. Nicolas

IN TIMES OF ILLNESS

"Come, O blessed of my father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was sick and you visited me." (Matt. 25:31-46).

When a member of our Parish is ill and has been hospitalized or may be recuperating at home, the immediate family of the ill person should contact Father Nicolas at (212) 795-5870. It is beneficial to both the body and the soul when our priest prays for us when we are healthy or ill.
