These are thus the two Covenants - the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria & All Africa

birth to bondage, which is Hagar –

Jerusalem, which now is - in bondage

25 July
Dormition of St Anna
At that time, our Lord Jesus Christ said:
“...No one, when he has lit a lamp,
covers it with a vessel or puts it
R IGHTEOUS M OTH ER OF OU R L ADY TH E OTOKOS
under a bed, but sets it on a
lampstand so that those who enter
may see the light.
“For nothing is secret that will not be
revealed, nor anything hidden that
will not be known and come to
light.
“Take heed how you hear. For
whoever has, to him more will be
given; and whoever does not have,
even what he seems to have will be
taken from him.”
His Mother and Brothers went to Him,
but could not approach Him because
of the crowd.
And He was told by some who said: Also the Feast of St Olympias, Deaconess of Constantinople – St Eupraxia, Virgin
