Prophet Malachi and Martyr Gordios How much fun is this? On OC, we get to have two name days: one on the calendar we observe and one on the calendar some of our friends observe. However, it can be a bit confusing. Through my parish of St Mary of Egypt, I follow the church (old) calendar. Yet there is also an OCA parish nearby where I visit sometimes, and they are on the civil (new) calendar. So, you can imagine I was surprise when my spiritual father (Fr Parthenios Turner of Nashville) sent me an email today, celebrating my name day. And here I was focused on it being on the 16th. Hey, who among us would tell our spiritual father he is mistaken? In any case, if you visit my profile I have the information for Martyr Gordios (Gordie/Gordan/??????) posted there for all to see. And, if you are busy today, just stop in on the 16th... Schizophrenically yours, Gordios/Gordie/Gordan/?????? P.S. I've just been informed that the other image in the icon on my page is NOT St Basil but rather Prophet Malachi who shares his name day with Martyr Gordios and St Genevieve. Watch for a correction soon.
