Archbishop Demetrios, head of the Greek Orthodox Church in America, has written an encyclical for the Feast of Saint Basil and the New Year, which can be read in its entirety on the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese (GOARCH) website.
In the encyclical, the Archbishop writes, "We greet the beginning of this new year and the end of the first decade of the new millenium in the grace and strength of our Lord. The coming of the New Year is always accompanied by a variety of emotions and concerns, as well as goals and plans. It is a time for reflecting on the past and anticipating what the year may bring."
His encyclical continues, "As we look back and forward in our thoughts, it is essential that we be mindful of the centrality of Christ and our spiritual well-being in all that we do. For reflection and anticipation are both characteristics of our lives as Orthodox Christians."
