I was taught that this is the correct tune to chant the Conclusion to the Adam Theotokias.

Monasticism isn't simply a bailout option for when life becomes too much for you. Its not an escape mechanism.
Many people think that monasticism is for them, but because they desire it for the wrong reasons, they will never be fruitful therein. If…
Hi dzheremi,
I really recommend that you read On the Incarnation by St. Athanasius if you haven't done so already. It explains the reason that salvation had to occur the way it did by starting right at the beginning of creation.
Read it for yours…
St. Cyril also speaks of it in his Commentary on the Gospel of St. John:

The Jews are again hereby too convicted of de…

Therefore He adds also the accusation. What then is this? John came, He says, unto you, not unto them, and not this only, but; also in the way of righteousness. For neither w…

You see, its the behaviour in threads like these that has wrecked this forum for me, and I expect for a number of people too.
You start off with a simple question: "Is the Gospel of John read on the resurrection?"
The OP is answered in the very f…

Overview
"Deacon" is a Syrian word that means servant. In Greek, it is called "Deyakon". The deacon's main job is to help the priest or bishop in his religious service. The first church appointed seven deacons to serve tables, who were filled with …

The Oration on the Holy Lights was preached on the Festival of the Epiphany 381, and was followed the next day by that on Baptism. In the Eastern Church this Festival is regarded as more particularly …
From what I understand, in olden times when the Church was consecrated with the Holy Myron, they also consecrated the floors.
Whether that lead to people having to remove their shoes, or whether it was only acceptable because people would always r…

Thanks for clearing that up imikhail. So in summary:
paikocmoc = "this world"
paikocmoc vai = "this very world" (which would be a bit nonsensical unless you were discussing other planets.)
