On the first Sunday of Lent, we remember the restoration of icons to the churches in 843, after years of repression by iconoclast rulers and agitators.
St. Gregory Palamas was able, through his effective teaching and by his example, to show that the energies of God manifest themselves in the life of every Christian.
The midpoint of Great Lent sees the cross in our midst. St. Paul says that the word of the cross is โfoolishnessโ to those who are perishing (1 Cor 1).
