Visit of the icon of St. Nicholas
From
the 17th to the 23rd of December 2014. Our Orthodox community has
experienced a great spiritual ascent! These days we were visited by the
favorite saint of the Russian people -St. Nicholas, in his miraculous
image, which for already 18 years now, still exudes fragrant myrrh.
With
the blessing of our bishop, Bishop Gregory, we had been preparing our
Argentine flock, almost from the beginning of the year, for this event,
having learned that Fr. Ilya, the keeper of the icon, planned to bring
us this pleasure, with the holy image, in spite of his weak health.
A
group of parishioners of Holy Trinity Cathedral and of St. Sergius
parish, with the blessing carefully, responsibly, independently and
selflessly took on the organization of the trip and stay of the
miraculous image, which was brought by Father Ilya and his Matushka
Susanna. All those months we were in great excitement, as we did not
know whether or not we will be allowed that Fr. Ilia's health would
permit him [ actually] to come and to bring us the holy icon. To secure
this event, we had to raise the necessary money. Our God-loving
community has responded to the call of this soul-saving effort with
great mental and spiritual generosity and joy! And it came true! We were
granted the arrival of the icon!
Hundreds of parishioners
were coming to the holy icon from the first day to the last. Prayers
and hymns were offered! On the first day of the arrival of the Icon,
there was held a public service with an Akathist in the Holy Trinity
Cathedral. Praying before the icon, were the Fathers, Archpriest
Valentin Iwaszewicz and Archpriest Ilya Gvarnki. Serving was prot.
Alexander Iwaszewicz.
And on the eve of the feast day of St.
Nicholas, the Icon visited St. Sergius parish in Visha Bashester. During
the liturgy, there prayed and ministered together, Fathers: abbot
Mitred Archpriest Vladimir Shlenov, Archpriest Ilya Gvarnki, and
Archpriest Alexander Iwaszewicz. After the liturgy, a reception was held
in the church hall where a very tasty meal was treated to all, and
everyone sang to Father Ilia and to Matushka Susanna, Many Years.
On
Saturday the Icon visited a nursing home in Olivos, where prayers
were served together with Fathers Ilya and Alexander venerating the
icon, were all the brethren of the house. The Icon itself was taken
into the rooms where the sick live, those who cannot walk.
Scouts
of our Argentine Young, 'City of Kitezh' met the icon to complete the
elegant form and sang for a prayer service. After the service there had
been arranged a tea in the hall of the Russian school. There was
venerating the icon, all who were present (of which there were many).
Saturday
night was committed the Vigil, with the singing of the Akathist to St.
Nicholas. There was a confession. Fr. Ilya decided to leave the altar
and offered to practice his English speaking to parishioners.[ with a
translator].
The liturgy, together served: Frs. Vladimir, Ilya and
Alexander. It was not an ordinary happening, that the litanies were
pronounced in three languages and that the communion was given in two
chalices, (because of the multitude of communicants) given the special
nature of the holiday.After the service, everyone was invited to a feast
where the parishioners were treated to a very tasty meal, thanks to the
generous work of our outcast "chefs" of our parishioners. Here again
was sung to Fr. Ilya and his Matushka, mnogoletie [Many Years!], by all
present. While drinking coffee, there were asked questions to Fr.
Elia, to which the keeper of the icon, kindly answered.
On the day of
departure of the Icon, there was served a farewell prayer before it
leaving for the airport where parishioners accompanied the traveling
icon to its departure.
These days were given to us, were really a
great grace of God for us sinners. They were greatly uplifting and
prayerful. In these holy days, between us there reigned unanimity,
brotherly kindness and piety. And the mutual hard work! And how often do
we ask this of the Lord by our mouth, but not in our heart! Through the
prayers of Saint Nicholas, the Lord has given us sinners, a feeling
and experience that will be long unforgotten. We lived this ! Let's
hope with the intercession of St. Nicholas and the work which our
Orthodox community has learned, that we always will live as we lived in
the light of these happy days!

Meal
Dear in Christ, brothers and sisters!
We
remind you that every last Sunday of the month following the Divine
Liturgy we conducted a meal for all the congregation, where we not only
delicious lunch, but we get, of course, the spiritual food of our
communication with you, read the teachings of the Holy Fathers and
simple discuss pressing issues of our church.
For example, last
Sunday everyone to stay for a meal awaited Russian cabbage soup with
cream, fresh herbs and dumplings with potatoes, pasta nautically and
cabbage pie. A parishioner of our church Pablo gave us interesting
exercises the Holy Father ... We all had a great day also, and most
importantly to good use. The next time you want to view the movie "The
Island" with subtitles in Spanish, which has kindly offered to bring us
to view another parishioner of our church Veronica.
But here
following the last Sunday of the month falls on already Advent. And we
are waiting for you, our dear parishioners, diverse and creative
proposals for the Lenten meal. Can someone cook on their own special
recipes for delicious cakes and excellent Ushytsya poppy rolls for tea,
and maybe it will lean hash or grilled vegetables and potatoes can be
cooked with butter and wild garlic, and her pickled mushrooms,
sauerkraut and pickled cucumbers to vodka ...
In general, dear
parishioners, show their own initiative in preparing the Sunday meal. To
purchase in advance on your list any products, the main thing - it's
your part in cooking.
Let's start with you revive the traditions of
our church, when the spiritual communion and church life was a priority,
rather than secular and worldly communication problems that we separate
from God.
Only then can we achieve unanimity in all. And in such a
difficult political issue as Ukraine and Russia now. After all, Russia
is, in fact, this is not the geographical location on the world map and
graph in a particular nationality passport.
Russia - this is the spirit!
Russia - we are with you!
And God is with us!
