On October 23rd in the Orthodox Church we commemorate St. James, the Brother of the Lord. St. James was chosen as the first Bishop of Jerusalem, presided over the Council of Jerusalem (Acts 15), and died a martyr.

The Holy Apostle James authored an Epistle and composed a Divine Liturgy which served as the basis for the Liturgies of Saints John Chrysostom and Basil the Great. More can be read of him here.

We will be meeting at Michael’s apartment in Troy to watch Prince of Egypt after Small Compline.
