Dormition Icon
The Icon of the Feast of the Holy Dormition is on the front cover of this week’s bulletin.  Many are present at the Dormition of the Beloved Theotokos.  In the foreground we see St. Peter (dressed in plain clothes) incensing the Theotokos’ body and we see St. Paul (also in plain clothes) at the foot bowing in her honor.
Behind the crowd in the background we notice there are three Bishops present.   The bishops traditionally represented are James, the brother of the Lord, First Bishop of Jerusalem and the original author of our Divine Liturgy, Timothy Heirotheus, and Dionysius the Aeroagite.  They are shown wearing episcopal vestments.  Christ is standing in the center looking at His mother.  He is holding a small child clothed in white representing the soul of the Virgin Mary.  With His golden garments, the angel above His head and the mandorla surrounding Him reflects Christ in all of His divine glory.   Above Christ the gates of Heaven are standing wide open waiting to receive their Queen.

• The Dormition Fast continues through August 14. The traditional rule is a strict abstinence with mitigations for Saturday & Sunday and the feast of the Transfiguration. The Ruthenian Metropolia has identified this period as a penitential season (Canon 880, § 2). This fast may be observed voluntarily but it is highly recommended for your spiritual & physical wellbeing.
• The next healing service is this Wednesday, August 10. Invite your friends and family.
• Monday, August 15 is a holyday of obligation – the Dormition of the Theotokos.

Paraklesis
This ancient ceremony is a service of supplication for the welfare of the living. As we use it here at St. Athanasius parish the Paraklesis is addressed to the Most Holy Theotokos whose intercessions are sought through the chanting of the supplicatory canon together with psalms and hymns. The Greek term, Paraklesis, is found in the bible 29 times. It reveals that it means, “to call to one’s side”. Its usage shows that according to the context, it means to entreat as in “I beseech”, admonish as in “I exhort” and consolation as in “I comfort”. The service was initially composed after the 4^th Ecumenical Council, held in 451 in Chalcedon a city of Bithynia in Asia Minor. The Paraklesis was further composed in the 9th & 13th centuries. The Paraklesis to the Most Holy Theotokos is emphasized during the Dormition Fast season.
 
2^nd Collection
Thank you for the $118 collected last week. So far we’ve collected $581 towards the goal of $950 for the replacement of Fr. Sid’s white vestments. We will continue the 2^nd collection to help defray the cost of the vestments & other church expenses.

Volunteers
Thanks to those who have helped around the parish in the last week. For example, neighbors Hilda and Dawn who’ve been cutting the grass; Al Z from St. Christopher’s parish that helped with the bake day on Thursday.  Also parishioners who’ve: provided snacks for Sunday socials & theology class, helped clean up after others, helped wrap baked goods, donated food to the food pantry, sold bake goods at the markets, gave a tour to an engineering firm thru the old school building to get proposals for environmental clean-up. We need help weeding the garden on the east side of the church, mop the kitchen floor, and help prepare for the markets on Friday evenings. Make time on your schedule and let the rectory know what you can do. This is your parish. Tell us what you see that needs to be done. Thanks for your ideas & assistance.
