Resurrectional Apolytikion
When You descended to death, O Immortal Life, then, the light of Your divinity destroyed Hades. When You raised the dead from the depths of darkness, all the heavenly powers cried out, "Glory to You our Christ, the Giver of Life." -Translation by Narthex Press

Apolytikion of the Church
As the deliverer of captives,
and the protector of the poor;
A physician of the sick,

O Great Martyr Saint George Victorious,

IOCC’s Phase II Recovery for Greece - Pilot Program Aids Farmers While Benefitting Environment

November 28, 2007
A pilot program aimed at providing long term sources of feed for animals while benefitting Greece’s devastated environment has been initiated by International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC). IOCC recently completed the distribution of nearly 20 metric tons of foraging seed to more than 300 farmers in the wildfire-devastated region of the Peloponnese. More than 37,000 head of livestock will benefit from the forage seed designed specifically for animals living in hot dry climates. The grass will be ready to be eaten by Spring 2008 and will not have to be replanted for at least the next four years. This will prevent soil erosion, one of the chief problems for the Peloponnese in the wake of last summer’s wildfires. ...Read Full Text >
