Description

All Hospitality Donations will be used to facilitate the Consecration Services and Events during the Consecration Weekend. Your generosity will make this historical event in the life of our Church possible.  Thank you!

The ancient Greek value of hospitality, which ranked at or near the top of the list of virtues and still lives on today in modern Greece, is “philoxenia”. Translated from Greek, philoxenia literally means “friend to a stranger.

There is much more to philoxenia than than mere “hospitality.” Over the millennia it has become a cultural norm for all Orthodox people that is deeply embedded in every person in the Church. For us, it is about sharing our lives with others.
