2 HEALTH TIPS! GET MOVING! STRESS LESS! The holidays are over, and everyone enjoyed all of the goodies that went along with the wonderful holiday get-togethers. Now it s time to get moving so keep these tips in mind as you make your New Year s Resolutions. Here are a few non-gym moves to help you get fit. Know the Ropes Jumping rope is one of the most effectives calorieburning exercises. Just 10 minutes can burn anywhere from calories. Kitchen Counter Push-Ups Lean forward at an angle and place your hands on the edge of the counter. Bend your elbow to lower your body toward the counter and then push back up to straighten arms. Walk It Off! Keep it simple and just start walking, but be sure to have the proper walking shoes with good support. Sneak in extra steps throughout the day and take a brisk 15-minute walk a few times a week to get your heart pumping. You ll feel the difference! Many of us have a lot going on in our lives, but we need to remember to use some stress relievers. Some suggestions are... Create Me Time Long for a few moments that are just for you? Once a week wake up a little earlier and enjoy a few moments of solo, quiet time with your coffee or tea. Take Time to Breathe Deep breathing can slow your heart rate and reduce your stress level. How to: Breathe in slowly through your nose, then exhale through your mouth. Repeat until you feel yourself start to relax. Clear Your Mind Before going to bed, make a quick to-do list for the next day. Making a plan will help you relax and leave the stress of your day behind you leading to a good night s sleep. And a few more... Play your favorite song Power off phone, TV, computer especially a couple of hours before bedtime Eat healthy meals Offer and accept help Close your eyes Visualize something positive Make time for exercise Go for a walk Say no when you need to Celebrate when things go well!
3 SAINT BASIL THE GREAT Feast Day--January 1 VASILOPITA One of the most beautiful, inspiring traditions and customs of the Greek Orthodox Church is the observance of the Vasilopita. It is this annual family observance, together with many other traditions of our Church, which joins our Orthodox Faith and heritage with the history of the Christian religion itself. The word Vasilopita is a compound Greek word meaning the sweet 'bread of Basil. The name Basil also means royal or kingly from the Greek word Basileios. During the 4th century, one of the greatest Fathers of the Christian Church appeared on the spiritual horizon of the Orthodox Faith. His name was Basil and he was Bishop of Caesarea, Cappadocia (Asia Minor). He was born four years after the First Ecumenical Council held in the year 325 A.D. Saint Basil was one of the three Cappadocian Fathers of the Church (the others were Gregory of Nazianzus, his best friend, and his brother, Gregory of Nyssa). Saint Basil was the first person in human history to establish an orphanage for little children. He also founded the first Christian hospital in the world. His fame as a Holy Man spread like wildfire throughout the Byzantine world. He was considered one of the most wise and compassionate clergymen in the entire history of the Church. The Church, therefore, in respect for his many contributions to the Church and to mankind in general, combined the joy and happiness of the New Year with the glory of the birth of Christ and the Epiphany into what is known in the Orthodox Church as the Vasilopita Observance. We would like to wish a Happy Name Day and Χρόνια Πολλά to Father Vasili and to everyone with the name Vasili or Vasiliki CUTTING OF THE VASILOPITA Once Father Nick blesses the Vasilopita that has been prepared by a parishioner, he then proceeds to cut and distribute each piece as follows: 1 st piece for Christ 2 nd piece Holy Theotokos 3 rd piece St. Basil 4 th piece St. Nicholas 5 th and remaining pieces for the organizations and various people in our community The person who receives the piece containing the coin is traditionally considered to blessed and to have good luck during the new year. This age-old tradition commenced in the 4th century when Saint Basil the Great, who was a bishop, wanted to distribute money to the poor in his Diocese. He commissioned some women to bake sweetened bread in which he arranged to place gold coins. Thus, the families, in cutting the bread to nourish themselves, were pleasantly surprised to find the coins. Sweets are added to the bread that symbolize the sweetness and joy of life everlasting. It also symbolizes the hope that the New Year will be filled with the sweetness of life, liberty, health, and happiness for all who participate in the Vasilopita Observance.

5 ANNUAL ST. NICHOLAS DINNER DANCE What a FUN evening! Our Philoptochos sponsored the annual St. Nicholas Dinner Dance that was held at the Polo Fields Golf and Country Club on December 2, Our two-year Chapter Challenge continues to be the focus of our fundraisers.
