On this day we commemorate St. Euphrosynos the Cook, a ninth-century ascetic who was mystically translated to Paradise while cooking for his monastic brethren. The entirety of the Saint’s life can be read here.

Our meeting will begin with the Service of Small Paraklesis to the Most Holy Theotokos. We will eat a small supper and discuss how St. Euphrosynos can be a model for our lives and how we as Orthodox Christians can meal-plan for fasting periods. Be ready to share a recipe!
