Saint Paisios of Mount Athos
22,00 € συμ/νου ΦΠΑA year and a half has already passed since the 13th January 2015, the day when Elder Paisios of the Holy Mountain was declared a Saint of the Orthodox Church by the decision of the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate. Since then he has been venerated as a Saint, even though he was considered a Saint during his lifetime. A special service has been written for his name day, the 12th July, icons of him have been written. The appropriate honor and devotion is his. This has been a great, long awaited and joyous event; a pleasant, yet not unexpected surprise, given to us by God’s love in these evil days. The joy and jubilation of Resurrection warms our hearts, tears are streaming from our eyes, for the Holy Elder, whom we knew and loved and in whom we placed, after God, all our hopes, has been formally glorified as a Saint. So much has been written about the Elder since his blessed falling asleep in 1994, by people who have known him intimately. Some of these witnesses happen to be Elder Isaac’s (of Blessed memory) Holy Synodeia from the Hermitage of the Resurrection, Kapsala, on Mount Athos. We now present their book Elder Paisios of Mount Athos, a Life to the English speaking public in a second edition, since the first edition has gone out of print. This book has been very warmly received, especially in America and Australia. May the blessing of Saint Paisios be with the readers of this book. From the Preface of Second Edition by The Abbot of the Monastery “Saint Arsenios the Cappadocian” Archimandrite Theoklitos Bolkas

HOLY FIRE
20,00 € συμ/νου ΦΠΑThe descent of the Holy Fire at the tomb of Jesus every Holy Saturday is the only miraculous event in human history which has taken place each year on the same day for more than one and a half millennia. Covering a period of thirteen centuries (4th–16th c.), this book assembles historical accounts of the celebrated event.
Seventy authors—fourteen French, nine Englishmen, seven Byzantine Greeks, six Germans, five Armenians, five Muslim Arabs, four Italians, four Persians, three Russians, three Icelanders, two Egyptians, two Chaldeans, one Syrian, one Moldavian, one Ethiopian, one Belgian, one Austrian and one Swiss—describe the greatest miracle of the Christian world: the Holy Fire (i.e., the Light of the Resurrection of Christ) which appears every Holy Saturday at the tomb of Jesus, a few hours before the celebration of his resurrection.Seventy authors—fourteen French, nine Englishmen, seven Byzantine Greeks, six Germans, five Armenians, five Muslim Arabs, four Italians, four Persians, three Russians, three Icelanders, two Egyptians, two Chaldeans, one Syrian, one Moldavian, one Ethiopian, one Belgian, one Austrian and one Swiss—describe the greatest miracle of the Christian world: the Holy Fire (i.e., the Light of the Resurrection of Christ) which appears every Holy Saturday at the tomb of Jesus, a few hours before the celebration of his resurrection.
Furthermore, the scientific measurements that were taken in the tomb of Jesus on Holy Saturday in 2008 by Associate Professor Antrey Volkov, confirm the descent of the Holy Fire and reveal three phenomena, which he himself characterizes as “incredible and entirely inexplicable.”
This book also includes a historical and archeological study concerning the original appearance of Jesus’ tomb and the rock of Golgotha, along with a series of reconstruction drawings of the two locations, as they looked in AD 33.

Άγιον Φως
Original price was: 16,50 €.15,90 €Current price is: 15,90 €. συμ/νου ΦΠΑΗ έλευση του Αγίου Φωτός κάθε Μεγάλο Σάββατο στον Τάφο του Ιησού Χριστού είναι το μοναδικό γεγονός στην παγκόσμια ιστορία που λαμβάνει χώρα κάθε χρόνο, την ίδια ημέρα, επί δύο σχεδόν χιλιετίες. Το βιβλίο «Άγιον Φως» καταγράφει τη μαρτυρία της ιστορίας για το θαυματουργικό αυτό γεγονός καλύπτοντας μια περίοδο δεκατριών αιώνων, από τον 4ο μέχρι τον 16ο αιώνα – με παράλληλη παράθεση 22 μεσαιωνικών χειρογράφων από τις μεγαλύτερες βιβλιοθήκες του κόσμου. Εβδομήντα συγγραφείς του μεσαιωνικού κόσμου, μεταξύ των οποίων, δεκατρείς Γάλλοι, δέκα Άγγλοι, επτά Έλληνες, επτά Γερμανοί, πέντε Άραβες, πέντε Αρμένιοι, τέσσερις Πέρσες, τέσσερις Ιταλοί, τρεις Ρώσοι, τρεις Ισλανδοί, δύο Αιγύπτιοι, δύο Χαλδαίοι, ένας Μολδαβός, ένας Σύρος, ένας Αιθίοπας, ένας Βέλγος και ένας Ελβετός, περιγράφουν το μεγαλύτερο θαύμα του χριστιανικού κόσμου: το Άγιον Φως – το Φως της Αναστάσεως του Χριστού – το οποίο κάθε Μεγάλο Σάββατο φανερώνεται στον Τάφο του Θεανθρώπου ως υπενθύμιση και ως επαλήθευση της Αναστάσεώς Του. Στο βιβλίο περιέχεται επιπλέον και μία ιστορική-αρχαιολογική έρευνα σχετικά με την αρχική μορφή του Τάφου του Χριστού και του βράχου του Γολγοθά, μαζί με μία σειρά αναπαραστάσεων των δύο τοποθεσιών, όπως φαίνονταν το έτος 33 μ.Χ. Το βιβλίο έχει εκδοθεί σε εννέα γλώσσες (ελληνικά, αγγλικά, ρωσικά, γερμανικά, ισπανικά, ιταλικά, γαλλικά, σέρβικα, ρουμάνικα) και βρίσκεται υπό έκδοση σε άλλες τέσσερις.
