The Biggest Orthodox Church in the World
The biggest Orthodox church in the world is being built in Bucharest, Romania and is expected to open in 2025. The People's Salvation Cathedral at a height of over 130 meters will become the future seat of the Romanian Orthodox Church and the tallest Orthodox structure in the entire world. It will be some 13 meters taller than the second-placed St. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Russia's St. Petersburg, and the largest Orthodox structure by floor space. Situated behind the Palace of Parliament, this will make it 50 meters taller than the Palace, and will help to make the cathedral an iconic landmark in the city. The building will be able to welcome around 6,000 worshippers and a church choir of 1,000. It will have four elevators, and will also feature a 25-ton bell which, could be heard at a distance of over 20 kilometers.

Is Halloween a Satanic holiday?
I would approach Halloween thoughtfully. Halloween itself is not inherently Satanic; it has roots in ancient harvest festivals and All Hallows' Eve, a Christian tradition remembering the faithful departed. However, some customs today—emphasis on horror, excessive fear, and occult symbols—can indeed be spiritually concerning. For Orthodox Christians, the focus should be on discernment. Engaging with Halloween in a light-hearted, family-friendly way—like dressing up as saints or fictional characters and celebrating community—is generally harmless. However, we should avoid elements that glorify darkness or evil, keeping our hearts directed toward Christ and the light.

St. Paul's Letter to the Philippians 3:1-8
Prokeimenon. Mode Plagal 4 Psalm 18.4,1 Their voice has gone out into all the earth. Verse: The heavens declare the glory of God. The reading is from St. Paul's Letter to the Philippians 3:1-8 Brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is not irksome to me, and is safe for you. Look out for the dogs, look out for the evil-workers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh. For we are the true circumcision, who worship God in spirit, and glory in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh. Though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If any other man thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; as to the law a Pharisee, as to zeal a persecutor of the church, as to righteousness under the law blameless. But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as refuse, in order that I may gain Christ.

St. Paul's Letter to the Philippians 2:16-23
Prokeimenon. Grave Mode Psalm 63.11,1 The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord. Verse: Oh God, hear my cry. The reading is from St. Paul's Letter to the Philippians 2:16-23 Brethren, I do not run in vain or labor in vain. Even if I am to be poured as a libation upon the sacrifical offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me. I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I may be cheered by news of you. I have no one like him, who will be genuinely anxious for your welfare. They all look after their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. But Timothy's worth you know, how as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel. I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me.
