Патријарх Иринеј у Западноамеричкој епархији

Од 4. до 9. септембра 2015. године Патријарх Иринеј је посетио Калифорнију и предвoдио прославу поводом канонизације Светог Севастијана Санфранциског и Џексонског у Катедрали Светог Стефана у Лос Анђелесу. Народ, свештеници и Владике, који су дошли из свих православних јурисдикција, нису могли сакрити велику радост поводом овог јединственог догађаја у њиховом животу. Патријарх је служио Литургију, причешћивао народ и беседио о чудесном животу новопросијавшег Светог Севастијана и рекао ”ходио је стопама Светога Саве”. После Лос Анђелеса, Патријарх је са својом великом пратњом посетио винарију ”Ополо”, као и залив Сан Франциска. На крају пута, у Њујорку, Патријарх је примио почасни докторат на Академији Св. Владимира.

Svetozar Steve Pejovich

Steve (Svetozar) Pejovich

While many Americans don’t give their freedom of choice a second thought, Svetozar “Steve” Pejovich has constructed an entire economic philosophy around the concept.

Born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, during the reign of the Nazis and raised under the oppression of the post-war Socialist regime, he knew first-hand the privations of not being able to exercise the rights many U.S. citizens take for granted.

The Hagia Sophia

The Hagia Sophia

The Mystical Light of the Great Church and its Architectural Dress

by Charalambos P. Stathakis

Dear reader, as you run like the rest of us along the dizzy main road, stop, stay aside for a while. Let the others be dizzy, and take the secret underground trail, which will lead you through the dewdrops of the leaves, the crystal smile of the sun, the city’s underground galler- ies, your knowledge, and your feelings, to the doorstep of the Hagia Sophia. Because all dew- drops, all sunrays, and all beauty lead there. That is what you will be told by my friend, the author, whom I am fond of and whom I send you to, Charalambos Stathakis: the doctor, the warm and humane researcher, the scientist devoted to his work and his patients, who has given a series of scientific papers, who, nevertheless, retains a nest of beauty untouched in his heart, which makes him outstanding—even though he is not a specialist in architecture, nor a historian, nor a theologian, nor a Byzantinist—it makes him stand out in all these together and in entirety.
