CONFESS OF FAITH
If someone does not accept any ecclesiastical
tradition that is written on or not, Anathema,
Anathema, Anathema. We keep the dogmas and the
traditions of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic
Church, and those innovators who innovate the faith
and every heresy we anathematize.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, yea and for ever remains from of the One,
Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Christ Church. In the
Apostolic Succession continuous and the other key
feature of the Church, the Apostolic Faith. Saying
Apostolic Faith meant the genuine and authentic
teaching of the Church, as delivered by the Apostles,
is interpreted and preserved under the Successors of
the Apostles in the Ecumenical Councils. It is
extremely essential that this feature of the Faith,
because contiguous to the Apostolic Succession, but
continuing this, because if the faith is falsified and
Apostolic Succession is lost.

PASTORAL ENCYCLICAL
TO THE ORTHODOX GREEK PEOPLE
The time was the 11th and a half before midnight, when just
above the church and with direction from East to West
appeared bright white cross, whose luster accessed only for the
church and church-crowd disappeared completely the glow of
NARRATIONS OF WITNESSES
"I was one of the men of the Police Academy, which were sent
that night, years ago, in the outside church of St. John the
Theologian to prevent the vigil.
There the old- calendarists will do a vigil because the feast of the
Exaltation of the Holy Cross was dawn.
Because a lot of people had gathered, more than two thousand
people, we did not attempt to arrest the priest, as we had ordered,
but I we lay quietly in the nearby hillside and waited to finish.
On 11 and a half hour we hear a big and strange noise coming
from the voices of the crowd. Without wasting time we ran to see
what happens ... and we saw ... All the believers was at a religious
frenzy. Other weeping and others chanting "Lord have mercy to
us", kneeling had turned their gaze to the sky, and some fainted
due to the big thrill. Then we looked and saw the wonderful, a
huge all-in-light Cross, very high above the temple to illuminate
the entire area. At first we feared caught but immediately we
recovered and knelt forgetting our mission and crying like little
children.
Needless to say, I watched the sacred vigil to end, full of emotion,
not anymore as pursuing officers, but as faithful Christians. In the
morning, when we go to the school, I told everyone the great
miracle that was fortunate to see. Following investigations, all of
us were under oath and we have said that we saw clear the Holy
Cross in the sky above".
John D. Glyme, Retired Police Officer, 73 Street Aristotle 72,
Peristeri- Athens
"That night in 1925 that revealed the Holy Cross, I did last tram
route as a guide. I reached the (square of) Omonia and I cycled
(the square), when I saw people looking at the sky and shout
"Look ... The Cross ...The Cross". Immediately I pressed brake
and stopped the vehicle. I pulled my head out of the door of the
vehicle and saw I, the unworthy, the Holy Cross of the Lord- may
his Name be glorified by us - glow over the (mountain) Hymettus.
I do not remember how it lasted. One only I know that the Holy
Cross that I saw that night made me another man. Since everyone
in the family became faithful children of the Church of the
Genuine Orthodox Christians.
Athanasios Primalis, Retired Run-wail driver- Karvalis 17 NiceaPiraeus
"I lived in Tampouria (area) of Piraeus with my father who was
blind when we warned that the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy
Cross would be a vigil to Saint John the Theologian on Mount
Hymettus. So we started 50 people from the area of Agios
Dimitrios in Piraeus and arrived in the chapel before the vigil.
There was gathered too many people. At midnight while I was
with my father appeared in the sky outside the Holy Cross which
shone like a searchlight. We knelt together with others. My father
without being able to see the heavenly gift does not cease for a
moment to shout aloud, "Lord have mercy to us."
