REFLECTIONS ON PENTECOST AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
As recorded in the Gospel of Saint John, Jesus
in His Last Supper discourses explained to His disciples that although He would endure His Passion,
be resurrected and finally ascend to His Father, He
would not abandon them.
He assured them that His ultimate departure
would be to their benefit because He would ask His
Father to send them, and by extension all those who
would truly believe in Him, another “Comforter”
or “Advocate” (parakleton) . This “Comforter” is,
of course, the Holy Spirit whose descent upon the
Apostles on the day of Pentecost, a traditional Jewish feast, is celebrated each year by the Church on
the fiftieth day after Great and Holy Pascha.
The Feast of Pentecost, which always falls on a
Sunday, commemorates the empowerment and
enlightening of the Apostles to preach the Gospel
and the establishment of the Church through their
preaching. It is also understood to be a profound
revelation of the Holy Trinity and the complete
divinity of the Holy Spirit.
The Feast of Pentecost celebrates the fulfillment
of the Lord’s pledge to his Apostles made at the
Last Supper and also before His Ascension into
Heaven that He would bestow the Holy Spirit upon
them and then on the Church at large. This prom-
ise was made and fulfilled because in light of the
Savior’s physical absence from the earth His followers would need the Holy Spirit to recreate and
realize His presence in themselves, the Church and
in the world.
Recognizing this truth the Orthodox Church,
perhaps more than any other Christian denomination, places great emphasis on the work of the Holy
Spirit. It teaches that all Christians are called to be
bearers, living temples, of the Holy Spirit. And,
because the Church as a whole is the Body of Christ,
the Church itself is understood to be a living temple
of the Holy Spirit.
The many roles of the Holy Spirit in each
Christian’s life and in the life of the Church are far
too profound and complex to be dealt with in a
short article. However, a brief examination of
some of the major aspects of the Holy Spirit’s ministry will be instructive in understanding the critical and indispensable part He plays in our salvation.
First, it must be remembered that the Holy
Spirit is one of the three eternal Persons of the Trinity sharing a common will with the Father and the
Son and, therefore, equally initiates and participates in all the divine works of creation and salva-
tion. Unlike the Son who is the image of the Father
and the Spirit who is the image of the Son, the Person of the Holy Spirit has an elusive and hidden
quality. We are aware of His might and presence
but cannot easily picture Him. Reflecting this mysterious yet powerful quality of the Holy Spirit the
Bible uses images of fire and wind to describe the
nature and characteristics of the Paraclete.
Second, it must be understand that although the
Lord asked the Father to send The Holy Spirit to us
it is The Holy Spirit who brings Christ to us by
manifesting and forming Him within us. As the
Lord said of the Spirit, “He will bring glory to me
by taking from what is mine and making it known
to you.” (John 16:14).
A major function therefore of the Holy Spirit is
to make Christ present in our hearts and minds and
shape us into His image. He applies Christ’s work
of salvation to each one of us individually by empowering us by His uncreated grace.
Next, we must recall that the Holy Spirit is the
“Spirit of truth” that would, as Christ promised, lead
the Church into all truth (John 16:13). The Holy
Spirit does this by revealing to us the truths of Holy

SAINT NICHOLAS — CHURCH AND SCHOOL
Each Church Community is unique in
its very own way; that quality which sets
it apart and to which its communicants are
drawn. Our beloved Saint Nicholas is
unique throughout Maryland and surroundings in that the community adheres
to the traditional practices of the motherland. This has been a natural outgrowth
because our church was established in the
area of southeast Baltimore inhabited by
a concentration of Greek immigrants.
Prior to the founding of Saint Nicholas,
the only Greek Orthodox Church in
Maryland was the Church of the Annunciation located in central Baltimore City.
The Greek parents of Highlandtown, however, deemed in necessary that their children be educated in the Greek language
and culture closer to home. This was accomplished by providing afternoon
classes in the one-room schoolhouse built
by the Church of the Annunciation on
property at Ponca and Fleet Streets, the
future site of our Saint Nicholas Church.
The Highlandtown School, as it was
known, became a center for the Greek
youth, abuzz with activity five days a
week; where the Greek language, religion,
history, culture, song and dance were
taught. At annual celebratory presentations for the entire Greek community
given at the more spacious cultural center
of the Annunciation the productions of
the Highlandtown students shined, thanks
to the diligence of excellent teachers and
parents who were relentless in imparting
and perpetuating their heritage to their
children even in their newly-adopted
country. Patriotism and honor of Greece
served to instill and strengthen patriotism
and love for America.
The overriding spirit among the Greek
families was devout dedication to their
Orthodox faith and the promotion of education; holding to the hope that their children would excel in this land of opportunity through education. Is this not the reason that this “cradle of Hellenism” produced a high percentage of successful professionals?
This thumbnail sketch may serve as
background to the community which has
evolved to our present Saint Nicholas
Church. Although today’s community has
grown in members, living beyond the confines of the immediate area, and is more
structured in its ministries and activities,
one aspect appears to have remained the
same: the excellent afternoon Greek
School program, literally the foundation
of our Church.
The names of the teachers and students
may have changed, the physical atmosphere of the classrooms is enhanced, but
the mission of the afternoon Greek School
remains the same: to teach our present
second and third generation GreekAmerican children their ethnic heritage.
Teaching methods have improved and
more class time is devoted to the teaching
of culture and dance; our teachers have
made class sessions more student-friendly.
When attending the annual programs in
which the students commemorate important events in the history of Greece as
March 25th and October 28th, one is
pleasantly reminded of similar presentations of bygone years.
It is especially rewarding for the readers of the “Pharos” to get a glimpse of the
accomplishments of our upper level students who share their thoughts with us
each month written in their own words.
We thank their teacher, Mrs. Eleni
Monopolis, for her guidance and inspiration. It is our hope that students of the
lower grades, Sunday School, as well as
members of the G.O.Y.A. and Y.A.L. will
also express their views with us because
our youth is a vital part and the future of
our community.
The curriculum of the Saint Nicholas
Greek School has been accredited by the
Ministry of Education of Greece, it is not
simply a superficial program. Students do

PARISH NEWS
After many years the Saint Nicholas Choir
has new robes! On Palm Sunday morning, the
Choir was proudly wearing the new teal and gold
robes selected by the Robe Committee. However, it was the generous donations of the individuals and organizations that made this dream
a reality. The Choir wishes to acknowledge
those who generously donated funds toward our
new robes: the Saint Nicholas Parish Community, Ladies Philoptochos Society of Saint
Nicholas, Pan_Rhodian Society “Diagoras”,
Macedonian Society, Mrs. Bessie Sfikas, Mrs
Irene Tsambikos, Mrs. Eleni Bisbikis, Mrs.
Despina Kaitis and Mrs. Irene Vavas, Mrs. Lea
Karagiannopoulos and Mrs. Vaso Koumoudis,
Mr. William and Mrs. Marie Poulos, Mrs. Maria
Koutsonouris, Mrs. Athina Neofitou, Mrs.
Fotini Anastasis, Mr. John & Mrs. Despina
Glykiadis, Mr. George and Mrs. Rosa Cornias,
Mr. Tony and Mrs. Calliope Cornias, Mrs.
Panagiota Chrissomallis and Mrs. Metaxia
Chrissomallis, Mrs. Helen Frapas and Anonymous.
The Choir received a great surprise on the
evening of Holy Saturday, just before the
Anastasi service, when they found another new
set of choir robes of maroon and gold in the choir
room! The second set of choir robes was donated
by the great generosity of one family - the family of Mr. John and Mrs. Joanna Zoulis.
To the Zoulis Family and to all of the individuals
and organizations that donated so generously to
our choir robe fund drive, the Saint Nicholas
Choir expresses its heartfelt thank you and
wishes you many years of health, happiness, love
and prosperity!

FESTIVAL
Come One! Come All! Everyone is to come
to the Annual Greek Folk Festival June 9, 10,
and 11, 2006 from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. plus the
Taverna nights. Bring your friends, your neighbors, your co workers to come and have a meal
with you. Bring your kids, your parents, your
grandparents to come and be with their fellow
community members. Everyone is planning to
have the best time of their life. So don’t miss out
on this year’s Greek Festival. For more information call the church office at 410-633-5020.
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
We are pleased to announce that we will be
having a Vacation Bible School for children ages
5 - 10 on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday,
June 26, 27, and 28, 2006 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Registration fee is $15.00. For more information, speak with Fr. Manuel. Register ASAP, it
is on a first come, first serve basis.
SUMMER ATTENDANCE / SUNDAY
SERMON
Everyone is reminded to still attend church in
the summer time. Even though we take off from
school or work for a little while, doesn’t mean
we take vacation away from God. God does’t
take vacation away from us, why should we.
Wherever you are in the United States or other
parts of the world, there are Orthodox Churches.
Search one out and go light a candle and pray. If
you are here in Baltimore, it is essential to keep
attending church for your spiritual welfare and
growth.
In addition, I wish to announce that the Sunday Sermon will be given immediately after the
Gospel reading and everyone is to be in church
by the Gospel reading. St. John Chrysostom in
one of his sermons talks about how we all must
be present for the reading of the Gospel, otherwise it is not counted that we attended church
that day. In God’s Big Book of Life, for which I
think He uses a huge computer now, He keeps a
record of everything we do, but also everything
we fail to do.
A late mark after the Gospel reading is recorded as an absence. So please make sure you
are in Church on time. That is why during the
ancient Liturgy at one point when they said, The
Doors , The Doors, ∆·˜ ı˘Ú·˜, ∆·˜ ı˘Ú·˜, the
deacons would go and lock the doors, because
only the faithful, no one who was a nonbeliever
was allowed to be a part of the Anaphora, or the
consecration of the gifts; it was such a holy and
sacred moment that it was only reserved for
those who truly believed.
So let us make it to church on time. 10 a.m.
10 a.m. 10 a.m. is when the Liturgy starts, that
has been the time for the past 54 years. Wishing
everyone a good summer, and a spiritual summer as well.
SATURDAY OF SOULS / PENTECOST
The weekend of Saturday of Souls and Pentecost falls on the Festival weekend this year.
Therefore, Church services will begin earlier on
those days, which are Saturday, June 10 and Sunday June 11. Orthros is at 8 a.m. and Divine Liturgy at 9 a.m. Church will finish in time for the
festival to open at 11 a.m. Thank you for your
understanding.
Also please remember that during the summer, church ends earlier since we do not have the
choir singing with us. Church services will begin
at 9 a.m. each Sunday, but will conclude by 11
a.m.
GREEKTOWN CDC
The Greektown CDC continues to hire off
duty unif0rm Police on foot patrol in our community. They supplement the efforts of the
Southeastern Police District. If you see a crime
call 911. Community Dumpster Days have
helped to keep our community clean. Please
mark your calendars for the next dumpster days:
June 3, July 22 and August 12. All are on Saturdays, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. We encourage all our
neighbors to pitch in and keep their community
clean. Please put trash in trashcans and sweep
your sidewalks and curbs. Call 311 to report
neighbors who don’t.
The Greektown CDC along with the Southeastern District Police Community Relations
Council is proud to sponsor a community cookout on June 17, 2006 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. All
Greektown residents are invited to gather at the
corner of Bank and Lehigh Streets to enjoy hot
dogs, drinks and snacks. Several units of the Baltimore City Police Department will be present to
discuss public safety tips, provide demonstrations, and to meet with the residents. Please call
John E. Gavrilis or Lori @ 410-327-3306, if you
wish to volunteer.
SUNDAY SCHOOL NEWS
Sunday, May 21st marked the end of another
Church school year. We want to thank all of the
students and especially the parents who made the
effort to be here every Sunday so their son/
daughter can participate in the Divine Liturgy
and attend the Sunday school lessons.
At the closing ceremonies, the top students
from each class were recognized. These students
earned this honor due to their class attendance,
knowledge of prayers, tests, class participation
and Christian attitude and behavior. Special
Congratulations went out to our 10th graders
who graduated from Sunday school. We hope
some of them will come back to help as aides and
eventually as teachers. To our Graduates, you
should never stop coming to church even though
you have finished formal religious lessons. St.
Nicholas and your Orthodox faith need each and
every one of you.
This past school year we were also fortunate
to be represented at the District Level of the St.
John Oratorical Festival which was held at St.
Demetrios church by two senior level speakers:
Markos Katsaros and Chrissy Cossis; and two
junior level speakers: Vaso Katsaros and
Theodore Sgouros. Congratulations to them for
a job well done. Ke is Anotera.
Which brings us to the answer to the question
in the April issue of Pharos. The question was:
There are Twelve Great Feasts that occupy an
important position in the liturgical life of the
Orthodox Church. Nine of them are fixed, three
of them are moveable. Can you name them?
Answer: The 9 fixed Feasts are:
*Sept. 8th-The Birth of the Theotokos.
*Sept. 14th- The Exaltation of the Cross
*Nov. 21-The Entry of the Theotokos into the
Temple
*Dec.25th-The Birth of Jesus
*Jan. 6th -The Baptism of Jesus
*Feb. 2nd -The presentation of Jesus into the
Temple
*Mar 25th -The Annunciation of the
Theotokos
*Aug 6th - The Transfiguration of Jesus
Christ
*Aug. 15th - The Falling Asleep of the
Theotokos.
These are called fixed because the date never
changes.
However, the three moveable Feasts whose date
changes, are:
* Palm Sunday
* The Ascension
* Pentecost
This year’s Oratorical Festival was devoted
to one aspect of these Feasts that were associated
with the life of Jesus and his mother, The
Theotokos. You can find the services for these
Feasts in one book called The Festal Menaion. If
space permits, we would like to include one or
two of the Oratorical speeches given by our four
students who selected and made a presentation
on one of these Feasts.
Once again, we the Sunday school administration would like to extend our sincerest Thank
You to all of our teachers and aides who volunteered their time to help teach our Orthodox
Faith to our children.
We look forward to having them return again
in September. If you would like to volunteer as
an aide or teacher, please contact the church office and leave your name and phone number so
someone can get in touch with you.
May all of parishioners have a happy and safe
summer and God Bless you and your family and
may we see you in church.

REFLECTIONS ON PENTECOST AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
From page 1
Scripture which He authored and inspired its writers to create. Then, the Holy Spirit as the bearer
of the many forms of spiritual gifts enables the
faithful to personally understand and live out these
great truths.
Also, the Holy Spirit acts within the divine in-
stitution of the Church to preserve both the truths
of Holy Scripture and Holy Tradition.
Finally, the Holy Spirit plays a major role in the
liturgical life of the Church. He is invoked in each
sacramental action performed by a priest most notably at the completion of the Eucharistic Prayer in
the Divine Liturgy. The sacramental grace for sal-
vation is made possible by the power and presence
of the Holy Spirit.
This year as we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost
and kneel during the prayers that call upon the Holy
Spirit let us all meditate on His divine Person,
power, gifts and blessings.

SAINT NICHOLAS — CHURCH AND SCHOOL
From page 2
well in learning Greek because of the dedication of teachers and parents, the support of the P.T.A., and the reinforcement
within the community where the Greek
language is spoken and the liturgical services are celebrated in Greek. These are
the reasons that some parents travel for
more than 30 minutes twice each week to
bring their children to the school where 65
students are currently enrolled. They are
rewarded in knowing that their children
attain a valuable working use of Greek
and an understanding of the culture of
Greece. Following the model of the Saint
Nicholas Greek School other neighboring
ethnic communities have now initiated
classes in which their language is taught. It
is no wonder that the students and teach-
∞fi ÙËÓ ÛÂÏ›‰· 2
ers of our Greek School march proudly in
the annual Greek Independence Day Parade!
And so, our beloved Saint Nicholas
community is unique in the Mid-Atlantic
region not only because it was founded in
a neighborhood of Greek immigrants, for
many Greek Orthodox churches have had
such a beginning, but because the continuous influx of Greek immigrants have
maintained the Greek aspect of Orthodoxy through its priests and Greek School.
The community has been fortunate in
its 52 year history in having dedicated
Greek American priests and personnel
who have perpetuated the traditions and
language of the Greek Orthodox Church.
This distinction draws some worshippers
from 40 mile distances passing several
Greek Orthodox churches along the way.
Another factor for the uniqueness of
our community is our secretary, Ms.
Maria Salpeas, who actually wears more
hats than simply that of secretary. Her
knowledge has enabled her to capably
serve many of the needs of the parishioners during the last 25 years, making Saint
Nicholas a true community church. As
one parishioner aptly phrased it, “Maria is
the glue that cements our community”!
Just as the priests of the “secret
schools” kept Orthodoxy and Hellenism
alive during the centuries of Ottoman
rule, the clergy and Greek School of Saint
Nicholas are preserving them for us…in
America in the 21st Century.
