Midfeast of Pentecost icon (2) Size:6 X 8Orthodox icon of the Midfeast of Pentecost, . Copy of an icon of 13th cent., Russia. We celebrate it 24 days after Pascha. The Midfeast of Pentecost is the midpoint of the fifty days between the Feasts of Pascha and Pentecost. St John tells us (John 7: 14) that in the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the Temple, and taught. The Feast in question is the Feast of Tabernacles (celebrated in September), not Pentecost. The Church has appointed John 7:

providence led the Archpriest to invite Valentine to the priesthood

I am the First and the Last

the daughter of Praepextatus and Fausta

why weepest thou

Charlemagne

The arrogant empress would not relent

St Simon suffered martyrdom by crucifixion

In the 1330s events took place in the life of the Eastern Church which put St Gregory among the most significant universal apologists of Orthodoxy
