Patristic Nectar Publications is pleased to present an eleven-lecture series by the late Father Thomas Hopko entitled The Holy Trinity. Father Hopko served the Orthodox Church in America as a pastor, and many more years as a Professor of Dogmatic Theology, and then as Dean of St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary. He is revered for his zealous and forthright preaching and has exercised a wide influence over the Orthodox Church in the United States and abroad through his seminary teaching and innumerable parish&nbsp;retreats, his lectures on Ancient Faith Radio, and his many books and publications. These lectures were delivered in February of 2001 to the clergy of the Western Region (eventually the Diocese of Los Angeles and the West) of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America. In these lectures, Father Hopko opens to all the dogmatic teachings of the Orthodox Church on One God, His Only-Begotten Son our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Here Fr. Thomas shares how Christian life is a sharing in the Divine Life itself, and much more. This March 18th, 2024 will be the 9th anniversary of Father Hopko's repose. May his memory be eternal.&nbsp;

Our Newest Lecture Series:
Demonology: Understanding & Winning the Spiritual Battle

Click Here: https://patristicnectar.org/bookstore_220620_11222221112

The study of the Church’s demonology is a part of basic catechism and Christian instruction. The Scriptures are replete with teaching on the dark powers. Additionally, it is impossible to appreciate the magnitude of the saving deeds of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, without understanding how He, and He alone, has conquered Satan and destroyed his works. Lastly, Christians are called to fight and win in the spiritual war, and for this reason, it is essential that believers understand their enemies and their tactics. Toward this end, Father Josiah presents in these lectures in-depth studies of the Scriptures, Divine Services, and pedagogy of great saints and teachers on the subject of Satan and spiritual battle. 

Lecture titles include: 

Lecture #1 Jesus and Satan 

Lecture #2 Demonology in the Baptismal Rite and the Divine Liturgy 

Lecture #3 Gaining Mastery of Satan: The Life of St. Anthony the Great 

Lecture #4 How to Win the Spiritual Battle according to St. John of the Ladder 

Lecture #5 Engaging the Unseen Warfare: Fr. Lorenzo Scupoli and St. Nicodemos of the Holy Mountain 

Lecture #6 C. S. Lewis’ Screwtape Letters and Demonic Warfare in the 21st Century Falling West

Let's make Vasilopita with whole wheat flower and honey! 

If you're unfamiliar with vasilopita, it's a special cake make on New Years to commemorate St Basil's feast day (Jan 1)! This tradition is said to be based on the story that follows:

During a time of famine, the emperor demanded an excessive tax from the people of Caesarea, so each family had to give up all their valuables – money and/or jewelry. Upon finding out this injustice, St. Basil fearlessly defended his people, calling the emperor to repentance. The emperor was moved by St. Basil’s speech, canceled the tax and returned all the valuables to the Saint. The Saint was faced with a daunting task: out of a large amount of items, he had to return each one to its rightful owner. He prayed, then prepared a huge cake and baked the treasures inside of it. After calling his flock to prayer, he blessed and cut the cake, offering a piece to each person. Miraculously, each owner received his own valuables in his piece of the cake. Vasilopitas have been baked on St. Basil’s feast day every year since his repose, to commemorate this miracle.

Recipe:

Vasilopita with whole wheat flour and honey

6 eggs, in room temperature
2 sticks grass fed butter
1 cup honey 
1 cup orange juice
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup almond flour
1.5 tbsp baking powder
Zest of two orange
Shredded coconut to decorate

1. Preheat your oven at 360F and butter a 10 inches round baking sheet
2. Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks
3. In a mixing bowl beat the egg whites until they form a soft meringue
4. In a separate mixing bowl beat well the egg yolks and butter to incorporate
5. Add the honey and continue to beat until it is well incorporated
6. Add the orange juice and zest and stir
7. Add the whole wheat flour, almond flour and baking powder and stir
8.Stir in *slowly* the meringue in 3 batches using a folding motion
9. Place the cake batter into the baking sheet
10. Bake for at least 45 min and then start checking with a knife or toothpick if it comes out clean. It might take up to 1 hour to bake fully.
11. When ready, let it cool down before you decorate with shredded coconut
