 Our Newest  Lecture Series:
The Original Church: Lectures on the Acts of the Apostles by Father Josiah Trenham. 

The Acts was written by the Holy Apostle and Evangelist Luke, as the 2nd part of his great literary masterpiece setting forth the Life of Jesus Christ in his Gospel, and then in the Acts showing forth the new Christian life made possible by the Lord’s great and saving deeds and the descent of the Holy Spirit. Here in these sacred pages we discover what St. Paul calls “new creation in Christ.”

Here we discover what is the birth-right of Christians – that is the continuous miracle of church life. Lecture titles are as follows: 

Lecture #1 The Meaning of the Acts 

Lecture #2 Pentecost 

Lecture #3 Spiritual Life 

Lecture #4 Fellowship 

Lecture #5 Martyrdom

Lazarakia for Lazarus Saturday

Jesus raised his friend Lazarus from the dead, and we commemorate this miracle and saint tomorrow on Lazarus Saturday. 

Your family can have a tangible way to participate in this feast by making this traditional bread.

🖥️ Lazarus Saturday Printable from Ascetic Life of Motherhood: https://www.asceticlifeofmotherhood.com/store/lazarusbuns

🍞 Ingredients 
6-1/3 cup (800g) of all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups of lukewarm water
1 packet of yeast
3/4 cup of sugar
1 tsp of cinnamon
1/4 cup of olive oil
1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves (optional)
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts (optional)
1/4 cup raisins (optional)
whole cloves or chocolate chips to decorate the eyes 
✍🏽 Instructions
Mix the dry ingredients (including yeast) together and knead for 1 minute, then add oil and lukewarm water. 
Knead well until the batter becomes a nice soft dough. You can now add in nuts or raisins if using. Cover and let the dough rest for about 45 minutes in a warm place.
Preheat the oven to 400°F . 
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. 
To shape each of the balls into small men, roll them out into an oblong shape, create a small ball to place as the head and press on top, and form two skinny strips and place them across the body in the shape of an “x” to represent arms. 
Insert 2 whole cloves or chocolate chips on the head to create the eyes. Should make 15-20 Lazarakia, depending on the size.
Place the Lazarakia on the baking sheets. Bake for 20 minutes or until the bread rolls turn golden brown. Cool before serving.

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 teachings about 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

Venerable Father Theophanes the Confessor

This most famous of all St. Paul&rsquo;s letters is a majestic proclamation of the Christian Gospel, a Gospel described as the power of God revealed from heaven for the salvation of all who believe. The Great Apostle sets forth the dire need of all human beings for God&rsquo;s saving work in Jesus Christ, as well as the majestic fruits that attend faith in the lives of Christians. Here in 16 chapters St. Paul expounds many themes that have captured the Christian imagination for twenty centuries.
