About the Cover Icon

The upper part of the image describes the story of
the Christs birth found on all Nativity Icons. In addition,
the story of the magi is told more fully: not only are they
shown following the star to Bethlehem, but also shown
worshipping the Christ-child and bearing gifts. This scene
clearly takes place in a separate building, not the cave of
Jesus birth, which tallies with the Biblical accounts indicating that the Magi appeared up to 2 years after the Nativity. As in most Nativity icons, the three Magi consist of
one youth (unbearded), one middle-aged man (brown
beard) and one elderly man (white beard), reminding us of
the universality of the Gospel, which is for all people
Gentile and Jew and of all ages. To the right of the cave
in which Christ was born, the three Magi are shown after
worshipping the Christ-child, and being warned by an angel not to return to Herod. To the far right of the Icon, the
three Magi are shown once again on horseback, hurrying
away from Bethlehem after heeding the angels words.
The reason for the angels warning was because
Herod wished to kill the young child Jesus, as he feared
the Infant was the longed-for Saviour Who would overthrow the kings corrupt regime. Upon hearing of the
Magis secret escape, the enraged Herod ordered a massacre of all local boys under two years of age, so that among
them Jesus would be killed.
Amid this slaughter of the innocents, John the
Baptists father, Zechariah, was also sought his son was
prophesied to be the forerunner and Baptist of Christ.
When Zechariah would not reveal Johns whereabouts, he
was murdered between the Temple and the altar, as described later by Jesus (Mt. 23:35). A composite of this
whole sorry scene is depicted along the bottom of the icon.
No. 52-1
2

Above the slain body of Zechariah, a woman weeps over

the swaddled body of an infant. This is Rachel, and the
image is a fulfilment of Jeremiahs prophecy as described
by St Matthew: Then was fulfilled what was spoken by
Jeremiah the prophet, saying: A voice was heard in
Ramah, lamentation, weeping, and great mourning, Rachel
weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted, because they are no more (Mt 2:18). To the left of Rachel, a
small house containing two weeping mothers completes
the scene, and reminds us that like their children they too
suffered their own form of martyrdom.
Next to this house of mourning, the Righteous Joseph is shown being told in a dream to flee Bethlehem for
Egypt. This is how the holy family escape the soldiers of
Herod, and this flight into Egypt is shown prominently on
the right of the icon; the river Nile runs darkly beneath
them. According to St. Matthew, the family stayed in
Egypt until Herod died, and so then returned, fulfilling the
prophecy of the Messiah: Out of Egypt have I called my
Son (Hosea 11:1). The Flight into Egypt shows Mary,
Christ, Joseph and James, the Brother of the Lord, all escaping. As mentioned in a previous post, the Icon of the
Nativity draws on the Protoevangelium of James as one of
its sources, and it is from this writing that we learn that St.
James was the elder step-brother of Jesus, being the son of
the widower Joseph from his previous marriage. This act
of Joseph in protecting the Christ-child is the final scene of
this Icon, and one of the last acts of Joseph recorded in
Holy Scripture. As such, this is how we honour and remember the Righteous Joseph, rather than as the man beset
with doubts outside the cave also shown on the Nativity
Icon.

of blessed memory

O little town of Bethlehem - the hopes and fears

of all the years are met in thee tonight
-Traditional English carol
he enchantment and wonder of the feast has arrived! And its far from over; in fact it has just
begun. The Byzantine Church celebrates the feast
until February 2nd (Gregorian Calendar). The stores are
having their sell-out sales, decorations are coming down,
no more Christmas music on the radio, and TV specials are
ending. We, on the other hands, are just beginning! We
continue our Kolady/Carols. We continue to greet each
other with the greeting: Christ is born! and the answer
Glorify Him!
I recall celebrating a Christmas Liturgy in Bethlehem many years ago. It was July, the heat was oppressive,
and we joined in singing carols at the place of Christs
birth. Everyday was, and I still hope is, Christmas Day
there. Carols and the Christmas Liturgy were celebrated at
the place of Christs birth everyday. In order to enter the
Church of the Nativity, pilgrims must bend down and pass
through a four-foot-tall entrance. It doesnt matter who
you are, rich or poor, pope or politician, all are required to
bow low to enter the place where Christ humbled Himself
to be born on earth.
Bethlehem means the City of Bread. And it is a
city of so many contradictions. Within recent years it has
been torn apart by warring factions. Refugees, soldiers
and civilians occupy the Nativity Church. The spirit of the
city seems to have died from oppression and injustice. Although the city where the Prince of Peace was born no
longer knows lasting peace, there is hope for its future.
The Feast of the Nativity is, like the place where it
happened, full of many contradictions. We would like to
stay in front of the icons and cribs and be filled with the
songs of the angels. We see the wonder and excitement of
children as they open presents. The lights of the tress and
decorations do give us a sense of inner peace. We so need
it. In the background is the fact that we celebrate the feast
under the cloud of an Orange Alert with the possibility
(and fear) that some part of our nation can be struck with
an act of terrorism.
Todays Gospel reading is from Matthew 2:13-23.
It brings together all hopes and fears of all the years.
There is a tyrannical king who seeks to kill the Infant
Christ. The Holy Family must flee for its life during the
No. 52-1
3

night. This morning we read of a detachment of soldiers

under orders to slaughter all little infant boys. Cries of anguished mothers are heard. All of this with the backdrop
of our Christmas decorations and lights. A contradiction?
Yes, but part of the hopes and fears of this Feast.
We have still Herod with us. He has many names and
faces: recently it has been a Hitler, Stalin, and Saddam
Hussein. They eventually all pass on into history. The
Infant Child survives them all.
In Ramah a voice is heard-great lamentation - its
Rachel weeping, there is no comfort for her, her children
are no more (Matthew 2:18) this city of Ramah is the
world in which we live. It has been scarred by 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq. And abortion, abuse, military forces, and
famine are still slaughtering children. To the question as
to how can goodness survive when evil has such an arsenal
of military and political power, we must turn to the Mystery of the Nativity. God through Jeremiah speaks: cease
your mourning, wipe the tears from your eyes. The sorrow
you have shown shall have its reward says the Lord. There
is hope for your future (Jeremiah 31:16)
Joseph rose and took the Child and His mother by
night and departed for Egypt (Matt. 2:14). A night-time
escape to a foreign country is part of the Christmas story.
No information is given to us about its length, or what happened to the family. Did they experience being illegal immigrants? There was certainly the experience of prejudice,
learning a new language. There was the experience of living in a hostile environment, hostile to their way of life
and religion. But there is hope. Matthew turns to the
Prophet Hosea. Hosea tells us of a God Who always
shows mercy and never abandons His children.
For this Holy Family and for all of us who experience the fear of terrorism, the pain of life, there are the
words of God the Father: I foster them like one who
raises an infant to his cheeks. Yet, though I stooped to feed
my children, they did not know that I am the Healer.
This is the God Who loves His people affectionately. This is God the Father of Jesus, Who cared for Him
in His infancy. Through the Nativity of Christ, God offers
us a hope that God the Father will lift us up out of our
darkness.

CHRISTMAS PASTORAL MESSAGE OF THE UKRAINIAN

CATHOLIC HIERARCHY IN THE UNITED STATES
n those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus
ordering a census of the whole worldAnd so Joseph
too went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea,
to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem... (Luke
2:1,4)
What an astounding contrast presents itself to us in
the first verses of the second chapter of the Gospel of Luke!
The Imperial Emperor of the Roman Empire, Augustus, the
most powerful man of his age, gives a command, and everyone, even the most insignificant and powerless individual, is
compelled to obey. A census was deemed necessary in order to update the tax rolls, which would provide money to
maintain the army and construct the magnificent roads, temples, palaces and stadiums that were the glory of the Roman
Empire and for which the Emperor was ultimately responsible.
How trivial, in
comparison, is the life
of the humble little
family from Nazareth
the carpenter Joseph and his wife
Mary, who was with
child that, in obedience to the imperial
command, set out to
have themselves
enrolled in the
tax registry of
Josephs hometown of Bethle- + hem. They are
so insignificant
that there is no

palace at their disposal when
they arrive, not
even a place in
the local inn. They +Most Reverend have to make do
with a cold and Stephen Soroka damp stable for the
mother to give birth. Metropolitan of the
What a con- UGCC in the USA trast indeed! Because today we are
celebrating, not the
emperor Augustus enthroned in luxury in his palace, but the
seemingly insignificant birth of the baby Jesus in the poor
stable of Bethlehem. And this child, born in a shabby town
in an obscure and distant province of the Roman Empire,
shortly before he is crucified, will say to the representative
of the Roman emperor, the governor Pontius Pilate, You
would have no power over me if it had not been given to you
from above. (Jn. 19:11)
It is not the emperor who is lord of the world, but
the child in the manger. The names of the emperors, like
those of other great and powerful men and women of this
world, have long since passed away and have been forgotten. Yet everywhere on earth, the birth of this child is still
remembered and celebrated.
What the angel declared to the poor shepherds in the
fields near Bethlehem on the night of Jesus birth resonates
in our hearts even today: I proclaim to you good news of
great joy that will be for all the people. For this day in
Davids city, a savior has been born to you who is Messiah
and Lord. (Lk. 2:10-1) The words this day still hold true.
The Savior, the Messiah and Lord is born this day every
day in our world in the hearts of those who look to him.
No. 52-1
4

Ever since this child was born, he has never ceased to demonstrate his rule, not with tanks and rockets and armies like
those that encompass the Holy Land today, but with his
message, which was sung by the angels and warmed the
night of poverty and spiritual cold into which he was born:
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to those on
whom his favor rests. (Lk. 2:14)
Against all appearances and expectations, the power
of love is still greater than that of weapons, and the peacemakers are the ones to be praised, not those who perpetuate
violence. As we write this pastoral greeting a few short
weeks before the Feast of the Nativity of Our Lord, the
pounding of rockets and the threat of all-out war are once
again threatening to drown out the sound of Christmas carols in Nativity Square in Bethlehem and throughout the
Holy Land as they have, unfortunately, many times in the
past. Has the birth of the child who is Gods Son and who
is to reconcile humanity with God, somehow not brought
the promised peace? This seems to be the sobering fact.
However, at the time of Jesus birth, just as today,
peace seemed like a distant dream as well. Yet, even then,
there were those who found peace gazing into the face of
this child: firstly, the shepherds who came with their flocks
from nearby to adore him, then the Magi, who came from a
great distance following a star in order to give him homage,
then later, the elders in the Temple in Jerusalem who were
astounded by the words of wisdom coming from the lips of
this wondrous child, and his mother, who, observing this,
kept all these things in her heart. (Lk. 2:51) Indeed many
are they who, down
through the centuries until today,
have found peace and
+
solace in an in
nocent
child

where the rich
and powerful
see only weakness and
poverty. Thus it
has remained until this day.
As
Jesus
tells us, only
+His Grace t he ms e l ve s
those who
Richard Seminack children can
become as
Eparch
of
St.
Nicholas
in Chicago find
and
will
peace
beside the crib of the divine child, and then, themselves be
able to give peace to others.
Our prayer for you on this Feast of the Nativity of
Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ is that, kneeling at the
foot of the crib where the Prince of Peace lays, we may all
become as children under his loving gaze. May the spiritual peace that enveloped the manger in Bethlehem, envelope our hearts as well. May we always be peacemakers
within our family circle, in our parishes, in our schools and
places of work, and everywhere in our society. May God
grant to you and to your loved ones, and to our brothers and
sisters in our beloved Ukraine and scattered throughout the
world, good health, peace, joy and contentment. A Blessed
Christmas!

Christmas 2012/2013 Edition

MALANKA is mostly a rural feast but

lately it has begun to make inroads
into cities as well. Basically, Malanka
is celebrated or performed, or
whatever other verb would be proper
to use in accordance to a set pattern which differs in certain details in
different parts of Ukraine.
The celebrations of the Feast of
Malanka begin on the night of January
14 (or December 31st if the celebration takes place on the Gregorian Calendar this, however, is a rarity). The
central character in the celebrations is
Malanka, a girl of many talents and
of exceptional beauty. Who actually
this Malanka girl was, and what she
did to earn a public celebration, nobody knows for sure. All my enquires
produced little result except for
some information that I obtained from
some old-timers according to whom
the day of January 13 is a feast day of
St Malania the Roman Martyr. But
evidently, it was an ancient pagan
holiday of uncertain origin which was
adjusted to the Christian ritual.
There were times when Malanka
was celebrated in virtually all the villages and towns of Ukraine but these
days only some places have managed
to maintain the traditional Malanka
celebrations. And even, as Ive said,
Malanka has begun to gain in popularity.
I think it is in western Ukraine
that the Malanka traditions have been
preserved best. Malanka is also called
there Pereberiya and has acquired features of a true folk carnival. The climax of Malanka celebrations is best to
be watched or participated in in
the city of Chernivtsi. Hundreds if not
thousands of people wearing masquerade costumes of Devils, Gypsies,
Bears, Goats and other creatures pour
out into the streets engaging the passers-by and spectators in their boisterous and sometimes wild fun. The participants and spectators let themselves
go but there is never any violence
or violations of public order to such
an extent that it would require the police interference.
According to ethnographers
though, the most interesting celebraNo. 52-1

tions of Malanka are held in the town

of Vashkivtsi, in the Land of
Bukovyna. In my humble opinion,
Malanka in the village of Horoshevo
in the Land of Ternopilshchyna is as
good. In recent years, both Vashkivtsi
and Horoshevo have begun to attract a
lot of tourists, both from Ukraine and
even from abroad, who come to see
Malanka celebrated there.
As far as I am concerned, there are
many places worth going to see Malanka celebrated. In every one of them
youll see something different. In the
village of Horbivtsi, for example, a
very old tradition of horse visits has
been preserved. Two young men,
wearing the horse costumes, several
other people posing as warriors,
Malanka herself and a band of musicians go from house to house, greeting the hosts; if they come across an
unmarried girl of marriageable age,
they engage her in dancing, and keep
dancing until she buys her freedom
with candies, cookies or money.
The role of Malanka is usually
played by a witty young man of a
cheerful disposition. He chooses a
woman from the village whom he will
mimic or parody, and then he does it
in such a way that everybody immediately recognizes the original who is

The old man, one of

the personages integral to the Malanka
performances. This
one is from the town
of Vashkivtsi in central Ukraine. The old
man is obliged to be
the host of all the
festivities.

parodied.
Malanka is a clumsy girl she
inadvertently overturns things or
knocks them down, drops things,
spills water; she also does some preposterous things like whitewashing
the furniture instead of the pich, she
litters, and does other things that one
should avoid doing. All this is done to
encourage us to be careful and diligent, and thus avoid being a laughingstock.
Though the basic moves in any
Malanka performance are approximately the same, no matter in which
part of Ukraine the celebration takes
place, there is a lot of improvisation
too, and watching the Malanka
performance you never know what
to expect next. Malanka performances
start with the coming of the dark. The
first to be paid a visit are girls who are
of the marriageable age; but the
households where someone has died
within the last year are avoided. But
everything must be done within limits of decency so as not to offend the
hosts. After the songs are sung and
jokes are told, the Malanka performers are treated to food and drink. As
the Malanka company departs, good
wishes are exchanged and sometimes
fireworks are set off.

In some villages of the Land of Vinnychchyna, people

cook a dish which they call malanka and bake ritual
bread which is called malanka and vasyl. During
the celebrations, the villagers go around their gardens
at night asking the trees to bring more fruit. It is believed that the plants understand human speech during the Malanka night, and animals can talk. Incidentally, if you do not treat your pets well, they may complain to God about the mistreatment during the Malanka too. So beware!

Christmas 2012/2013 Edition

An Excerpt from The Winter Pascha by Fr. Thomas Hopko

he gospel reading for the Divine Liturgy on the Sunday before Christmas is "the genealogy of Jesus
Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham," taken from the gospel according to St. Matthew. This genealogy lists the generations of people from Abraham to David, to the Babylonian captivity of the people
of Israel, to the birth of Jesus. It is a selected genealogy, ending in the appearance of "Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ" (Mt 1:16). It differs from the genealogy presented in
St. Luke's gospel which begins with Jesus "being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph," and goes back all the way
not simply to Abraham but to Adam (Lk 3:23-38).
There are many purposes for presenting the genealogy of Jesus in the
gospels, chief among which is the affirmation that Jesus, being in truth the
Son of God, as all the gospels testify,
has come "in the flesh" as a real human being. This affirmation was critically important in the time of the
apostles and the first Christian generations because, unlike today, the
temptation of the early period of
Christianity was not to deny Jesus'
divinity, but to deny His real and authentic humanity.
As a matter of historical fact, the
first Christian heretics were those
who said that Jesus was some sort of
divine being (how this was explained
had many variations and versions)
who only appeared to be a true man,
but was not really one since "flesh
and blood" were taken to be intrinsically degrading if not downright evil.
Thus the apostle Paul had to insist that Jesse Tree: A visual representation of
in Jesus, who belongs to the Jews
the family tree of Jesus, the Jesse Tree
"according to the flesh" (Rom 9:5), offers the family a yearly opportunity to
the "whole fulness of deity dwells
spend time with the great cloud of witbodily" (Col 2:9), and that it is the
nesses that St. Paul spoke of in his
same Jesus who died and was buried
epistle to the Hebrews.
and raised in the flesh as a real man,
who is Messiah and Lord.
The genealogies in the gospels of Saints Matthew and
Luke are made to and from Joseph. This is not to give the
impression that Jesus came from Joseph's seed. Both gospels are absolutely clear on this point. Jesus is born from
the Virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit. The point
is rather that Joseph is Jesus' father according to the law,
and it is from the father that one's lawful descent is to be
traced. Jesus' legal father is "Joseph, son of David," the
legal husband of Mary (Mt 1:20).
One other important point is made in listing the human
generations which led to the birth of Jesus. This is the fact
that God is faithful to His promises even though His chosen people are often not faithful. Among the people from
whom Jesus came are both sinners and heathens. In a
word, Jesus comes not only from the righteous and holy,
No. 52-1
10

but from the wicked and sinful. And

He comes not only from Jews, but
from Gentiles. The names of the four
women specifically mentioned in St.
Matthew's list-- Tamar, Rahab, Ruth,
and the wife of Uriah (Bathsheba)-were noted, not to say notorious,
Gentiles, including one of David's
own wives, the mother of Solomon.
The point to be seen here is one
beautifully made in an early Christian hymn quoted in the Bible in the
second letter to Timothy:

This is the wonderful witness of the

genealogies of Jesus: If we are faithless, the Lord God remains faithful-for he cannot deny Himself!
