Fr. Taxiarches calling the fathers and all visitors to service by rhythmically hitting a large, carved piece of wood (which, of course, has its own Greek name which I cannot remember for the life of me) with a mallet.


All the fathers, after breaking the Clean Monday and Tuesday fast following Presanctified this morning


A burial plot on the land..."give rest also to the souls of Thy servants, for Thou only lovest mankind..."

Beautiful pictures - very holy. The piece of wood being hit with a mallet is called a semantron.
