When I was researching the symbolism of dying and being conceived on the same day, I stumbled on the 9 +- 1 day discrepency for John and the Theotokos while waiting in the lobby of a doctor's appointment :D
Welcome home, you were missed! Thank you for all your work and sacrifice. Praying for you all daily.
Really appreciate that! Thank you so much!
Glad to see you back!
Lets go a new Patristix video! My day just got even better.
So good to have you back! I love these "little" church holidays but never connected the dots between them :o
The Church calendar is unbelievably inter-connected! It's very exciting. The closer you look at our faith, the more beautiful it all is
Bless you for bolstering our spirits! Here in Québec, the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist, the 24th of june, is our national holiday, which we call the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day! Gloire à Dieu!
Christ is risen! ☦
👋🏼
Indeed, He is risen!
"Christ is born, glorify Him. Christ from Heaven, receive ye Him" (St. Gregory the Theologian)
The symbolism with Christ and St. Johns birthdays is very fascinating, how their relationship plays out cosmically in the changing of seasons.
I never knew about the 9 month plus minus one day thing, thank you! Greetings from your Hobart brethren.
It's exciting isn't it? The Church traditions are incredibly intricate!
Domnul să vă binecuvânteze , mulțumim frumos pentru informațiile pe care ni le-ați transmis.Pace și bucurie, post cu folos duhovnicesc!❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Cu drag! ❤️
with the quality of these videos, its almost criminal that this channel doesn't have more subscribers.
We are growing quite a lot! But do feel free to share the videos around. Thank you for your kind words!
Jonathan Pageau level symbolism. Very nice
What Jonathan Pageau does so brilliantly is to tap into the symbolism deep in Orthodoxy that loooong preexists us, and then explain it in an understandable way. And it's beautiful to discover! Orthodoxy is incredibly intricate ❤️
Great to see you again! As always, I learned a lot. Orthodoxy is manifold wisdom and symbolism. LOVE all your graphics that help someone like me understand something so deep. Thank you all!!!
Thanks for waiting for us!
Orthodoxy is really beautiful. The closer we look, the more beauty we find.
Good to have you back!!! Greetings from Romania! God bless us all!
Doamne ajuta!
@@Patristix Doamne ajuta!
Good to see you again🎉
In Alaska the OCA orthodox follow the Julian calendar beginning since the first Saints of North America touch our hearts and set it ablaze. Therefore we celebrate Nativity on January 7th, the circumcise of our Lord on January 14th and Theophany on the 19th of January
I'm pretty sure it's January 6th.
Great video! ☦️🙏
So glad to see another video! I'm really amazed by all the meaning the Church is able to pack into how things are dated, this is awesome. Thank you for making it so accessible!
Welcome back! Missed seeing you holding that cup
It's nice to be back!
Welcome back gentlemen! God bless you both and have a great week!
Glad to have you back! ❤️☦️
Happy to have you back!
Welcome back! I, too, had black tea this morning with honey and cream. Greetings from the "Deep South" of the USA!
That sounds an excellent way to start the day! Hello to the Deep South of the USA!
Since i haven't lived there in a long, long time and i don't expect to even visit again, PLEASE enjoy that tea, honey, and cream with my blessings and a tinge of envy. 💝 so glad to see Southern [a location, NOT a new church!] Orthodox at any time. ☦📿☦
Thank you for this video, as always thoughtful and informative. A happy and blessed Christmas to you and your family.
Very good explanation brother

Blessed Advent and a merry Christmas! So many blessings in this episode if 7 minutes!
Glad to have you back, guys!
Have a Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmaas to you too!
5:32 It's even better than that. The original date of the solstice on roman calendars was the 25th of June, so the Nativity of John isn't "around midsummer". It's on midsummer's eve. Same goes for Christ's birth.
YEAAAAAAA
God bless u brother..may I ask if u can guide me on what to read or if u can please make a video about orthodox view of heaven & hell & also the meaning of inheriting the earth according to the Bible I couldn't find adequate sources
I suspect Zachariah (and Elizabeth) had probably prayed many times in the past for a son and as the years past and their bodies aged way beyond that possibility, they just stopped praying about it. God however answered it in His time and according to His will (and as appears in this case to us... like He had just heard the request). God hears every prayer and answers them in His time and for His purpose - even when we have ceased praying long ago. Just my thoughts.
Finally. I had given up hope :)!

Thanks for waiting for us! We are back
@@Patristix One of my favorite Saints. Thank you!
Thank you for this video. One thing I didn't understand is the winter solstice and the summer solstice. Isn't the day longer on the summer solstice than the winter solstice?
The day is longer in summer yes, but after the summer solstice they start getting shorter and shorter. At the winter solstice the day is at its shortest. Then, as Christmas comes, it gets longer and longer and continues to increase in light until summer.
@@Patristix Makes sense now. Thank you!

What is January 6, and “epiphany” then?
Epiphany (or Theophany as we tend to call it in Orthodoxy) celebrates simultaneously the arrival of the wise men in Bethlehem AND the baptism of Christ in the Jordan River.
Isn’t Christmas on January 7th in the Orthodox Church?
Actually no. The Orthodox that are celebrating Christmas on "January 7th" are really celebrating it on December 25th but on an old calendar which is almost 2 weeks behind the one used by Western Christians
I didn’t think Jesus was actually born on December 25th but that we just celebrate his birthday then. I’ve heard this from many Christian traditions.
Many traditions have forgotten the massive amount of reason and symbolism behind the dates.
Amongst those we didn't mention in the video is that Luke 1:5 mentions that Zachariah was of the division of Abijah in the priesthood. Some (including John Chrysostom) have compared that with structures in II Chronicles to find the approximate times Zachariah would have been in the temple. The results: John and Jesus are born when the Church celebrated them being born.
The Church of the 4th century, when the 25th December was established for the festival, believed it to be the actual date.
