The Ghost of Past Christmas Presents … A Contest

Last updated on: December 16, 2010 at 10:10 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

You know how, every year, there’s always that certain someone on your gift-giving list – someone that either has everything (and why should you have to buy them something) – or they’re just so difficult to buy for (I mean, not like you’re a hater or anything) – or, well, let’s face it: Christmas is just a snowball’s throw away and you just thought SHA-ZAM! I FORGOT ALL ABOUT WHO-ZEE-WAT! Now what am I gonna do?! Well, have no fear.... Read more

For Those Planning Weddings …

Last updated on: December 14, 2010 at 4:06 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

I’ve been holding on to this one for a while; thanks to tmatt for the notice. In the words of Sarah: My dress was a wonderful, and sanity preserving, find at a local thrift store. My first (any only!) time in a bridal salon I was wearing an old sweater and pants covered in paint (I was on my way back from work when I spotted the place and thought I could just sneak in and look around. But I’m... Read more

Community of Grace – An Orthodox Christian Year in Alaska

Last updated on: December 13, 2010 at 12:38 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Former Evangelicals who convert to Orthodoxy are often painted with such a broad brush — seen as such peculiar fruit — that even the likes of a St Herman of Alaska (Happy Feast) might not understand. For those painted with such baggage (even a small “checked” bag), Community of Grace – An Orthodox Christian Year in Alaska serves to vividly remind of the how & why many Americans found and, through it all, stay in the Church. Having been a... Read more

Gun Toting Singing Santa Bums a Ride

Last updated on: December 10, 2010 at 8:43 pm By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Houston has a goodly share of beggars and bridges. Most of the beggars – forgive me this – look the part, at home, if you will, under a bridge. [The family pictured here was only camping, not homeless.] Some, however, do raise an eyebrow and serve to tempt: “Why, he looks perfectly able and healthy – why can’t he get a job?!” That one looked like Santa Claus. Wha-? I said, “That one looked like Santa Claus!” Did you see... Read more

Repeating a “Misconception”

Last updated on: December 9, 2010 at 10:28 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

Today being the Orthodox Feast of the Conception of the Theotokos (and yesterday, having been the Roman Catholic Feast of the Immaculate Conception) — here’s a re-post from a couple years back: We love Mary so much we made her blond! Don’t gasp, there is a tradition within the West of the Virgin Mary being honored with blond hair. (Image: the altar St Mary, Grove Park, Asheville, North Carolina.) Yesterday [10/2006], a blog commenter first posted a quote of mine,... Read more

Keep Christ[mas Tree] in Christmas

Last updated on: December 5, 2010 at 5:57 am By Fr. Joseph Huneycutt

By Metropolitan Hierotheos Vlachos of Nafpaktos I suspect that the custom of decorating a tree at Christmas time is not simply a custom which came to us from the West and which we should replace with other more Orthodox customs. To be sure, I have not gone into the history of the Christmas tree and where it originated, but I think that it is connected with the Christmas feast and its true meaning.   First, it is not unrelated to the...
