The Orthodox New Year in Alaska is a mix of seal meat, tea cakes, and Alaska Native and Slavonic languages. It's a cultural blend more than 150 years after Russia formally withdrew from what would become America's 49th state. In that time, the Orthodox Christian customs continued to flourish and merged with Native traditions. In many ways, they are more established than in their home country, which saw religious persecution during the time of the Soviet Union. We'll hear from Alaska Native adherents of Russian Orthodox Christianity about how they're welcoming the New Year on January 14. GUESTS Archpriest Martin Nicolai (Yup'ik), retired Archpriest of St. Nicholas Church Benjamin Jacuk (Dena'ina Athabascan and Sugpiaq), director of Indigenous research at the Alaska Native Heritage Center Jill Fratis (Unangan), news producer and reporter for KNBA and Koahnic Broadcast Corporation Sperry Ash (Sugpiaq), educator and Russian Orthodox deacon

Koiahk Midnight Praises @ St. George Coptic Orthodox Church - Tampa, FL ~ December 21, 2024

Technology company Microsoft is working with the Roman Catholic Church to create a detailed, digital version of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. 科技公司微软正在与罗马天主教会合作，创建梵蒂冈城圣彼得大教堂的详细数字版本。 The project aims to give people a new way to experience the famous building, which sits in the Catholic Church's spiritual and administrative center in Rome. 该项目旨在为人们提供一种新的方式来体验这座位于罗马天主教堂精神和行政中心的著名建筑。 Roman Catholic leaders recently joined Microsoft's President Brad Smith to present the new digital creation to the public. The official launch of the system has been set for December 1. It will permit individuals to explore St. Peter's Basilica online and provide interactive experiences for all visitors to the Vatican. 罗马天主教领袖最近与微软总裁布拉德·史密斯一起向公众展示了新的数字创作。 该系统定于 12 月 1 日正式启动。它将允许个人在线探索圣彼得大教堂，并为所有梵蒂冈游客提供互动体验。 The effort involved drones flying around the empty basilica for four weeks to capture images of all parts of the building. The drones – equipped with many cameras and lasers – took more than 400,000 high-quality pictures.这项工作涉及无人机在空荡荡的大教堂周围飞行四个星期，以捕获建筑物所有部分的图像。 这些无人机配备了许多相机和激光器，拍摄了超过 400,000 张高质量照片。The process used artificial intelligence (AI) methods to create a complete 3D copy of the basilica. One goal of the project was to provide a way for anyone in the world to have the chance to “visit” the church and learn about its history. 该过程使用人工智能 (AI) 方法创建大教堂的完整 3D 副本。 该项目的一个目标是为世界上的任何人提供一种方式，让他们有机会“参观”教堂并了解其历史。 Microsoft chief Smith told a press conference at Vatican City the project represented “one of the most technologically advanced and sophisticated projects of its kind” ever carried out. 微软首席执行官史密斯在梵蒂冈城举行的新闻发布会上表示，该项目是“同类项目中技术最先进、最复杂的项目之一”。 Cardinal Mauro Gambetti is the Archpriest of St. Peter's Basilica. He praised the new technology at the press conference. Gambetti compared the highly detailed digital experience to looking up at a “starry sky on a summer night.” He added, “The new tools act like a telescope or spaceship for better viewing.” 毛罗·甘贝蒂枢机主教是圣彼得大教堂的大祭司。 他在新闻发布会上赞扬了这项新技术。 甘贝蒂将高度详细的数字体验比作仰望“夏夜的星空”。 他补充说：“新工具就像望远镜或宇宙飞船一样，可以更好地观察。”The project was launched ahead of the Vatican's 2025 Jubilee celebration. This marks a holy year at the Vatican when more than 30 million worshippers are expected to visit the basilica. This will be in addition to the 50,000 people who visit on a normal day. The basilica will celebrate its 400th anniversary in 2026. 该项目是在梵蒂冈 2025 年周年庆典之前启动的。 今年标志着梵蒂冈的圣年，预计将有超过 3000 万信徒参观大教堂。 这还不包括平日参观的 50,000 人。 大教堂将于 2026 年庆祝其成立 400 周年。 The Associated Press reported Pope Francis visited Smith and the project's development teams at the Vatican. He said the effort should help everyone “feel welcome in this great house.” 据美联社报道，教皇弗朗西斯在梵蒂冈拜访了史密斯和该项目的开发团队。 他说，这一努力应该有助于每个人“在这座伟大的房子里感到受欢迎”。 The pope added that the project was a way to recognize and continue to celebrate the Vatican's rich spiritual history. “…It is a gift and a task to care for it, in both a spiritual and material sense, even through the latest technologies,” he said. 教皇补充说，该项目是认识并继续庆祝梵蒂冈丰富的精神历史的一种方式。 “……从精神和物质意义上来说，即使是通过最新的技术来照顾它，也是一份礼物和一项任务，”他说。 Pope Francis has warned that AI should only be used in ethical ways. In his World Message of Peace this year, he proposed an international treaty to control, or regulate, the technology. He argued that AI systems lack human values and could cause great harm. 教皇弗朗西斯警告说，人工智能只能以合乎道德的方式使用。 在今年的《世界和平讯息》中，他提出了一项控制或规范该技术的国际条约。 他认为人工智能系统缺乏人类价值，可能会造成巨大伤害。The digital system permits visitors to request entry times to the basilica. This could be a welcome change for visitors used to waiting in lines for hours to get into the basilica, which is one of the world's most visited buildings. 数字系统允许游客询问进入大教堂的时间。 对于习惯了排队几个小时才能进入大教堂的游客来说，这可能是一个可喜的变化，大教堂是世界上参观人数最多的建筑之一。 The collected images have already identified structural damage and signs of deterioration. Experts said the technology can find such problems much faster and more effectively than human workers. Vatican officials plan to use the images to continually identify areas needing repairs. 收集到的图像已经发现了结构损坏和恶化的迹象。 专家表示，该技术可以比人类更快、更有效地发现此类问题。 梵蒂冈官员计划使用这些图像来不断识别需要维修的区域。 Smith did not say how much Microsoft had invested in the project. But he said the idea came after Pope Francis urged technology companies in 2018 to come together to use AI for cultural purposes. 史密斯没有透露微软在该项目上投资了多少。 但他表示，这个想法是在教皇弗朗西斯于 2018 年敦促科技公司联合起来将人工智能用于文化目的之后产生的。 Smith noted his company had also completed similar AI projects at Mont Saint-Michel in France and for Ancient Olympia in Greece. 史密斯指出，他的公司还在法国圣米歇尔山和希腊古奥林匹亚完成了类似的人工智能项目。

My guest this week is one of my favorite men to have on the show: Father John Whiteford. Fr. John is Archpriest and pastor at St. Jonah Orthodox Church in Spring, Texas. Fr. John was a representative of the ROCOR Diocese of Chicago and Mid-America at the signing of the Act of Canonical Communion between the Moscow Patriarchate and the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, in Moscow, on May 17, 2007. He is currently the general editor of the St. Innocent Liturgical Calendar. He is also the dean of the southern deanery (Texas and Louisiana) of the Diocese of Chicago and Mid-America ROCOR. He is here to discuss the bad theology being preached by many American Protestant preachers that is leading to horrible death and destruction in the Middle East. There is a trend amongst many American Christians that the State of Israel must be supported and defended no matter what. Because of a very modern take on certain scriptures, many believe the Jews are God's "chosen people", the State of Israel is the same thing as the Biblical Israel, dispensationalism is a legitimate Biblical teaching, and that modern day Judaism is the same thing as the Judaism of the Old Testament. Fr. John explains where these misconceptions arose from and why and how they're not only against true Church teachings but also lead to horriific consequences. As St. Matthew said, "Ye shall know them by their fruits."

The time of Great Lent is upon us. There are many misconceptions as well as questions surrounding it. My guest, Father John Whiteford, is Archpriest at St. Jonah Orthodox Church and the author of Sola Scriptura: In Vanity of Their Minds. He is here to field all of my questions regarding Great Lent and provide thorough and accurate answers. Why do we fast? What do we "give up" during Lent? Should we be adding more things rather than just subtracting things during Lent? What is Holy Week? Why is Lent 40 days? We get into all of this and more. Great Lent is the most important time of the year for Christians. Find out why in this episode of Counterflow.

My guest this week is Father John Whiteford. Fr. John is Archpriest and pastor at St. Jonah Orthodox Church in Spring, Texas. He is also the dean of the southern deanery (Texas and Louisiana) of the Diocese of Chicago and Mid-America ROCOR. Today, we are discussing some themes from a talk he gave at the Ludwig Orthodox Fellowship Inaugural Conference recently. It deals with his realization that once he became an Orthodox Christian, he could no longer support the neoconservative pro-war foreign policy philosophy. We get into the multiple wars that the US has participated in and the eradication of Christians in various parts of the world due to the actions of the US military. This leads us into a discussion on the Yankee mentality and the Southern mentality. The Puritanism of the Yankees has unfortunately won out when it comes to wars and democracy, and that has led to some very bad results. Fr. John feels as though Orthodox Christianity is suited for the agrarian southern heart and mind. We also get into a subject that Fr. John has written and spoken on many times over the decades, and that is Sola Scriptura. This is a wonderful discussion, and I think you'll learn a lot. For Fr. John's speech at the Ludwell Orthodox Fellowship, click here:   Here is Fr.

Days before Russian troops entered Ukraine in late February, President Vladimir Putin gave an impassioned address to the Russian people attempting to justify what he was about to carry out. He referred to Ukraine as 'an inalienable part' of Russia's 'spiritual space'. It's one of many references to faith and religion interwoven into the Russian narrative of the 'special military operation' in Ukraine. Ernie Rea explores the beliefs being used to justify this aggression, and asks why the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, has defended Putin's actions. He's joined by Andrew Louth, theologian and Archpriest in the Russian Orthodox Church here in the UK, Geraldine Fagan, an expert in religious affairs in the former Soviet states, and Katherine Kelaidis, a writer and historian whose work focuses on early Medieval Christian history and contemporary orthodox identity. Plus he speaks to the journalist and theologian Sergei Chapnin, who worked for the Russian Orthodox Church for 15 years. Producer: Rebecca Maxted Editor: Helen Grady

Stoic and Easy set off to the Temple of Chaldrin to speak with High Priest Octo, who is shrouded in controversy as those who are in competition with him for Archpriest are being killed. Meanwhile, Valan, Bear, and Loppe go to visit Lady Enthress to inform her of all they discovered in Lessa.

Faithless Brewing, Episode 81: Party WeekDavid has been pretty adamant that Zendikar Rising's party mechanic is not meant for Constructed. It's not hard to see why: getting four unique creatures onto the battlefield is exceedingly rare in Modern and Pioneer. It doesn't help that most of the Party payoff cards use cost reduction: imagine trying to cast Karn Liberated if all of your Mines, Towers, and Power Plants died to Fatal Push and Lightning Bolt.  Nevertheless, some of the payoffs are enticing, especially Coveted Prize, Zagras, Thief of Heartbeats, and Archpriest of Iona. 2020 has been an exceedingly long year, and we sure would like to party. There’s no shortage of Rogues, Clerics, Warriors, and Wizards if you’re willing to do a little digging, so fire up Scryfall and let’s dig!

St Athanasius Part ThreeOn the 7th day of the Coptic Month of Pashons we celebrate the life and struggles of the Patriarch St Athanasius the Apostolic. Part Three, Exiled but never ExitedA Greek historian testified about Athanasius saying: "Athanasius’s fluency in speech and his outspokenness in the council of Nicea brought over him all the hardships that he encountered in his life.” A prophecy of the suffering the young Athanasius would endure during his life. For light creates shadows. The greater the light, the more shadows it casts. The young Athanasius demonstrated such Divinely inspired eloquence that the devil made him his target for the reminder of his life.After the passing of Pope Alexander, the patriarch of Alexandria, whom Athanasius had served many years, there was a renowned unified calling to make Athanasius the new Patriarch of Alexandria. This beguiled the wicked followers of Arianism. They crafted false charges against the great saint, and convened their own council at Trye to levy these allegations against the new Pope. Most of the attendants were Arians, and against Athanasius.One of these charges alleged that Athanasius had killed a bishop sympathetic to the Arians. The Arians brought two arms of a dead person and claimed that they were the arms of Arsanius. Then Arsanius, who had shown himself to Athanasius prior to the council’s beginning, was brought in, and showed his arms to the council and declared his regrets. The Arians said that Athanasius was a sorcerer and he was able to make arms for him. They became violent against Arsanius who left the council and went to the Emperor.Despite all the charges being rebuked, the sneaky Arius brought all the false charges against Athanasius before the Emperor. Using the fake council as proof of the new Pope’s guilt. Athanasius was called to the Emperor, but many loyal to Arius prevented his appearing. The Emperor gave his order to exile Athanasius to France in February 5th., 335 A.D. where its bishop had met him with great honor.Arius died a horrible death and it was said: "God made Arius to die in a public washroom, where his bowels poured out of his body, and the people regarded his death as a punishment from the Divine Justice."When the Emperor heard about the death of Arius, he recognized the innocence of Athanasius, and recommended while he was on his death bed, in the year 337 A.D. that Athanasius be returned to Alexandria.But the remaining Arians did not stop. They assembled another fake council, where they excommunicated Athanasius. They appointed instead someone called Gregory, and they sent their decision to Pope Julius, ArchBishop of Rome. Pope Athanasius assembled a council in Alexandria in 340 A.D. where he protested against the Arians, then he wrote a letter to all the churches to declare his innocence.However, the Arians influenced new Emperor, as well as some weak church leaders, to recognize Gregory as the Pope of Alexandria. But Gregory and his fellow Arius demons, raped Alexandria of her wealth and purity. The people of Alexandria were horrified, and decided to resist, but the Arians attacked the churches.Pope Athanasius sought the help of all the churches in the world, left his Seat, and traveled to Rome. A council was assembled in Sardica, where they declared:a. The innocence of Pope Athanasius b. Confirmed the cannons of the Nicean Creed. c. They excommunicated the Arian bishops. d. Deposed Gregory from his office.Athanasius returned for the second time to his Chair, and the people received him with joy. Gregory the Theologian, the writer of the liturgy, described this reception saying: "The people came as the flood of the Nile," and he also pointed out to the palm branches, the carpets, and the many clapping of hands.The Arians did not like the return of Athanasius to Alexandria, and waited unwillingly until the death of new Emperor. The Arians again falsely accused Athanasius before Emperor Constantius, claiming Athanasius was collaborating with the enemy of the Emperor. Constantius exiled Athanasius yet again. The Arians appointed George of Cappadocia, bishop on Alexandria, but the Orthodox people refused to accept him and admonished him. He responded violently, taking over all the churches and its properties.After the death of Emperor Constantius, Julian his cousin became ruler. He wanted to rally the people of Alexandria so he returned Athanasius to his Seat. Athanasius assembled a council in 362 A.D., and provided conditions for the acceptance of the Arians that wish to return to the church. He also gave a special attention to the preaching among the pagans. This was not appreciated by Emperor Julian, who loved and supported the pagans. He therefore ordered the arrest of Athanasius.Those around the Pope were greatly saddened because of the tribulations that befell him again and again. Athanasius told them, that in times of persecution, he felt great inner peace and that God took care of him and embraced him with His grace more than any other time in his life. He also said: "The persecution of Emperor Julian is like a summer cloud that will go away." While they were in these conversation, the news came to them that Julian was killed in his war with the Persians, and that he was killed by St. Mercurius (Abu Sefain), and that he said just before his death: "You have overcome me, O You son of Mary.”Jovian became Emperor breifly, then Valens who was under the spell of the Arians. In 367 A.D. Valens ordered the exile of Athanasius. Athanasius was forced to leave Alexandria yet again, hid in the tomb of his father. Meanwhile, the Emperor killed 30 bishops who were pro-Athanasius. The Emperor saw the determination of the Coptic Church, and decided to lift the persecution, and return Athanasius to his Chair in 368 A.D.Although Athanasius reached the age of 72, he did not compromise in performing his duties. For his steadfastness and his firm stand for justice, the world described him by the saying: "Athanasius against the world.” He wrote several books about the false doctrine of Arius called, On the Incarnation, as well as many other subjects, including the faithful telling of the Life of St Anthony.Athanasius was the first Pope to wear the monastic tunic from the hand of St. Anthony. He made it the uniform for all bishops and patriarchs. He was the one who ordained St. Antonios a priest, and then Archpriest.

St Athansius Part OnePart OneOn the 7th day of the Coptic Month of Pashons we celebrate the life and struggles of the Patriarch St Athanasius the Apostolic. Part One, his Early Life.St Pope Julius of Alexandria wrote about the strong and blessed St Athanasius thus, “If precious metals, such as gold and silver, are tried in the fire, what can we say of so great a man, who has been through so many perils and afflictions?”Athanasius was born to pagan parents sometime between the year 295 - 298 A.D. When he was in school, there were Christian children acting the Christian rituals; some as priests, some as deacons and one of them as a bishop. Athanasius asked their permission to participate with them. “You are pagan,” they proclaimed, “and you are not allowed to mix with us." He responded, "I am from now on a Christian."They rejoiced with him, and made him a patriarch over them in the play. They enthroned him on a high place, and offered him honor and respect. The archbishop of Alexandria (also known as “pope” or “abba”) witnessed this re-enactment by the children, “The baptism of the catechumens!" He exclaimed, "but this looks to be real!"Quickly, he called a servant and told him to go down to the children and bring them to him. Summoned to appear before the authority, the children approached with some uneasiness, and intrepidation. The young Athanasius stepped to the front of the group."What were you doing down there on the shore?" asked the Patriarch.Athanasius’ clear eyes looked at him with interest, but without a vestige of fear. “We were playing," he said. "It was the baptism of the catechumens. I was the bishop, and they"—pointing to his companions, “ were the catechumens.""Are you a Christian?" asked Alexander."Yes," answered the boy proudly."And these?""Catechumens.""What did you do?""I poured the water on them and said the words.""What words?"The boy repeated the formula in perfect Greek."Did you pour the water as you said the words?""Yes."The Patriarch's face was troubled. "It is a dangerous game to play at," he said. "What would you say if I told you that you had really baptized them?"The boy looked at him in amazement."But I am not a bishop," he said.The Patriarch could not help smiling. “Although the bishop usually does baptize the catechumens," he said, "it is not necessary that it should be a bishop, not even necessary that it should be a priest."The boy-bishop looked grave, his companions frightened, the Patriarch thoughtful."What would you like to be?" The Archpriest asked of the young Athanasius."A priest," was the prompt answer."A bishop perhaps?" asked Alexander with a smile, "you think it is an easy and a glorious life?"The boy's eyes looked straight into the Patriarch's."The blessed Peter was a martyr," he answered."You need much learning to be a priest.""I love learning," said the boy.Alexander noted the broad, intelligent brow, the keen eyes and the clear-cut face before him. His heart went out to this frank and fearless lad who loved the martyrs. Later Pope Alexander wrote about Athanasius: "This child would be in a great position one day."When Athanasius' father died, his mother brought him to Pope Alexander, who taught them the principles of the Christian faith and baptized them. They gave their money to the poor, and stayed with the Pope, who taught Athanasius the church subjects, ordained him deacon and made him a personal secretary.

Early one morning in July 1918, the Russian Imperial Family was led into a basement and murdered. Nicholas the Second was only 26 when he became Tsar of All the Russians. He was ill equipped for the job and faced challenges which would have tested a more gifted man. But Nicolas was deeply religious and had a profound sense of his duty to God to uphold autocracy and defend the Church. Joining Ernie Rea to discuss the last of the Romanovs is Andrew Phillips, Archpriest of the Russian Orthodox Church; the historian Janet Ashton, and authors Helen Rappaport and Martin Sixsmith.

Envy, Pride, Anger, Gluttony and Lust are some of the misdemeanours considered so serious by the Church that they could have a fatal effect on an individual's spiritual health. Early British wall paintings stressed the connection between committing these so called "deadly sins" and ending up in Hell. But who decided what the seven deadly sins should be? Why was sadness replaced by sloth? Ernie Rea discussed the Seven Deadly Sins, their history and relevance today with John Cornwall, Catholic writer and Visiting Professor for Advanced Religious and Theological Studies at the University of Cambridge; Akhandadi Das, Vishnau Hindu teacher and theologian; and Father Andrew Louth, Archpriest of the Russian Orthodox Church and Emeritus Professor of Patristic Studies at Durham University.
