Eight men dove in for the Cross this year. The one to reach it first was Johnny Soukas, one of NYC's Bravest, a New York City Fireman! The FDNY took it home this year, which is appropriate as it was an FDNY boat the men jumped off of.
Many thanks to the NYPD who had the scuba divers ready in case of mishap, and kept everybody safe on land and water. God bless you all!

Orthodox Awareness
A talk delivered by Fr. Maximus (Marretta) to the Inter-Orthodox Conference "Orthodoxy and Modern Ecumenism," University of Chicago, March 5/18, 2007.
Missions
When I meet people from our more established parishes, they are often curious to hear about our missionary endeavors in North Carolina. Coming from parishes that have been in existence for some time, which gather to worship in full-fledged church buildings with chanters and a congregation made up of many mature Orthodox families, mostly of Greek background, with a smattering of converts, they are often surprised to hear about our work here and what life is like on the “frontiers” of Orthodoxy. With the dual aim of providing further information to our brothers and sisters in the other parishes, and increasing interest in missions so that others may become interested in entering this field, I have decided to compose a few words about our life here and experiences.
Ask a Priest
Q. Can you tell me what the two-headed snake cane the Greek Bishop is walking with represents? What does it mean?
