    This domain appears to get a good ammount of visitors. How do you promote it? It gives a nice individual spin on things. I guess having something real or substantial to talk about is the most important factor.

    Very interesting, could you please write what the symbols represent in original (not in translation) right after NI KA? Thank you.

      As far as I know the word “NIKA” is the Greek word for “conquers” or the verb for “victory”, a possibility is “is is victorious. NI KA is also stamped on prophora in the holy altar.
      ‘IC XC NI KA’ is meaning: “Jesus Christ is victorious” (i.e., over death and sin).
      I’m not sure if this answers your question, I’m not sure the exact meaning of NI and KA in greek but I think actually it’s not two separate words. But just a way to write it down.

      best!

    Thank you, this was really fast answer. I was actually curious about the next letters. Fi X Fi P and the rest of the lines which you were so kind to give them in translation I would like to know what they stand for in Greek (probably). I tried to google them but I got only gibberish.
    Again, thank you, very interesting information.

      Do you mean the Chi-Rho sign. The XP there stands for Христос meaning (Christ) in Church slavonic.

        It will be easier for everyone to understand if you refer to the letters as cyrillic instead of church slavonic. The cyrillic X is actually the letter “H” in English, and the P is actually the letter “R” in English. And Christ is pronounced Hree-stos, hence the abbreviated spelling of the name. So really, XP just means HR (if you translate the cyrillic letters into the English latin alphabet).

    Dobry Den,

    Good introduction. I was especially impressed with the “Tau” cross in its connection with Ezekiel.
    I don’t know, but I suspect the “Tau” is more likely a Hebrew “Tav”, in the original alphabet, than a Greek “Tau”. The current Hebrew alphabet is borrowed from Aramaic. The original Hebrew looks very much like Phonecian. From there and the connection with Deuteronomy 4:8, the “Tav” would be “Torah” = Law/custom. Thus, a symbol of the Law on their foreheads.

    Also just a small correction. The small picture of the “Bishop’s” vestments (2nd to bottom) is actually for a Priest, not a Bishop.

    Love in Christ

      Добър Ден John,

      Thanks for pointing for the small mistake I made in the article about the dress it is now fixed. Also I didn’t know the connection of Tav to Deuteronomy.

      Love in Christ,

    Hi all – I have a straight-up HTML website that I’d like to transition to Joomla. If possible, I’d like to install Joomla into a subfolder and create and test the site there, while keeping the existing site functioning until I’m ready to move it over. Is this possible?. . Thanks!.

    Hello & God bless everyone,
    I enjoyed the article & it was interesting & mostly informative. There's just one thing – I don't think it's fair to spread misinformation (even though I believe it's unintentional): Implying or stating that the Christian Orthodox church was "first" is just incorrect & unnessecary. I think the writer of the above article may only be confused or has been misinformed. The Orthodox Christian church, Armenian Christians etc. are no older than the Roman "Catholic" = Universal church. Christianity began w/ Jesus & His teaching & that's when ALL of these regional groups of Catholics/Christians began. The following explains this & you & your readers may find it very interesting.
    The Catholic and Orthodox Churches are equally old. Prior to the Great Schism of 1054 AD, they formed the same universal church, which they variously called Catholic (universal) and orthodox, but which modern scholars often call the Catholic-Orthodox Church.
    In 1054, Pope Leo IX and Patriarch Michael I excommunicated each other, bringing about a schism in the Church. The Western Church became known as the Roman Catholic Church, while the eastern Churches became known as Orthodox. There were attempts at reconciliation and the two sides came close to being reunited in 1274 and in 1439, but the schism eventually became permanent.
    The church, recognized in the bible as "the church" was already in existence since it was started by Jesus himself. Paul mentions this fact numerous times. The word Catholic, from the greek translation, means "Universal" and was used to describe the church in writings as early as 46AD. The Term Roman Catholic is simply a westerners term used to describe the fact that Catholics look to Rome as the head of the church. There is nothing in writing or from the Vatican that names the Catholic church "Roman Catholic. The bible was not even produced until the first Nicaean Council in 325AD. But by then, the Catholic/Christian church was well established and growing throughout the world.
    We are all children of God from the same inital faith, ther is no point in trying to claim "who was first" because the truth is no one was first, they all were formed when Christ began His ministry.
    Sincerely,
    your friend & brother in Christ
    Derek

    Dear Sir,
    My friend here in the USA has a small cross about 3inches long dated 900 AD.
    He would like to know where it is coming from. It might be from Eastern Orthodox Christianity so I thought you might be able to identify it.
    I would like to send you pictures.
    This is my e mail address: abenalon@gmail.com

    Thank you
    Amnon
