The Saviour has come today to the city of Jerusalem, to fulfill the Scriptures; and all have taken palms into their hands and spread their garments before Him, knowing that He is our God, to whom the cherubim sing without ceasing; Hosanna in the highest.

Entrance of the Theotokos

According to the tradition of the Church, the Theotokos was brought to the Temple at three years of age, where she was consecrated to God and spent her days until she was fourteen or fifteen years old; and then, as a mature maiden, by the common counsel of the priests (since her parents had reposed some three years before), she was  betrothed to Joseph.

Entrance of the Theotokos – November 21

2013 Youth recipient

Background of the Archangel Michael Award

The Archangel Michael Feast was prayerfully conceived by His Eminence Metropolitan Alexios upon His arrival to Atalanta, as the annual double feast of the Metropolitan family. Since 1998, the Metropolitan familty comes together in Atlanta on the weekend of, prior to, or following the November 18th Feast of the Archangels Michael and Gabriel. It is to honor and celebrate our Patron Saint and the lives of one adult and one youth/young adult from each parish, who are the living examples of the Orthodox Christian life and journey to Theosis. By extension, this special Metropolitan feast is also the annual Metropolitan celebration and thanksgiving for all devout stewards of faith, time and talent, “Who first give themselves to the Lord by the will of God.”
