Saints Cyril and Methodius (Greek: Κύριλλος καὶ Μεθόδιος, Old Church Slavonic: Кѷриллъ и Меѳодїи) were Byzantine Greek brothers born in Thessalonikig in the 9th century who became Christian missionaries among the Slavic peoples of the Great Moravia and Pannonia. Through their work they influenced the cultural development of all Slavs, for which they received the title "Apostles to the Slavs". They are credited with devising the Glagolitic alphabet, the first alphabet used to transcribe Old Church Slavonic. After their deaths, their pupils continued their missionary work among other Slavs. Both brothers are venerated in the Orthodox Church as saints with the title of "equal-to-apostles". In 1880, Pope Leo XIII introduced their feast into the calendar of the Roman Catholic Church. In 1980, Pope John Paul II declared them co-patron saints of Europe, together with Benedict of Nursia.

Amazing Prophecies of the Promise of Jesus' First Coming

Within this video you will find examples of ancient prophecies concerning Jesus as found within the First book of Adam and Eve...compared to the Holy Bible 1st Book of Adam and Eve free online book: http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/fbe/fbe006.htm 1st Book of Adam and Eve by Angela Holmes https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzf72MClvfKmz6GhEk93mubiSuuowc1aI 1st Book of Adam and Eve by Apocryphile1970 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCgkDGCfl5I Regarding the great Five and a half Days: From Wikipedia pages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_Domini It has also been speculated by Georges Declercq[12] that Dionysius' desire to replace Diocletian years with a calendar based on the incarnation of Christ was to prevent people from believing the imminent end of the world. At the time it was believed that the Resurrection and end of the world would occur 500 years after the birth of Jesus. The old Anno Mundi calendar theoretically commenced with the creation of the world based on information in the Old Testament. It was believed that based on the Anno Mundi calendar Jesus was born in the year 5500 (or 5500 years after the world was created) with the year 6000 of the Anno Mundi calendar marking the end of the world.[13][14] Anno Mundi 6000 (approximately AD 500) was thus equated with the resurrection of Christ and the end of the world [15] but this date had already passed in the time of Dionysius. Dionysius therefore searched for a new end of the world at a later date. He was heavily influenced by ancient cosmology, in particular the doctrine of the Great Year that places a strong emphasis on planetary conjunctions. Dionysius decided that when all the planets were in conjunction this cosmic event would mark the end of the world. Dionysius accurately calculated that this conjunction would occur in May AD 2000, about 1500 years after the life of Dionysius. Dionysius then applied another cosmological timing mechanism based on precession of the equinoxes (that had only been discovered about six centuries earlier). Though incorrect, many people at the time believed that the precessional cycle was 24,000 years which included twelve astrological ages of 2,000 years each. Dionysius believed that if the planetary alignment of May 2000 marked the end of an age, then the birth of Jesus Christ marked the beginning of the age 2,000 years earlier on the 23rd March (the date of the Northern Hemisphere Spring Equinox and beginning of many yearly calendars from ancient times). He therefore deducted 2,000 years from the May 2000 conjunction to produce AD 1[16] for the incarnation of Christ even though modern scholars and the Roman Catholic Church[17] acknowledge that the birth of Jesus was a few years earlier than AD 1.[18][19][20][21] And the Byzantine Calendar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine_calendar The calendar is based on the Julian calendar except that the year started on 1 September and the year number used an Anno Mundi epoch derived from the Septuagint version of the Bible. It placed the date of creation at 5509 years before the Incarnation, and was characterized by a certain tendency which had already been a tradition amongst Jews and early Christians to number the years from the foundation of the world. (Latin: 'Annus Mundi' or 'Ab Origine Mundi'— AM).[note 2] Its year one, the supposed date of creation, was September 1, 5509 BC to August 31, 5508 BC.

Predicted and scheduled events The United States of America's armed forces are presumed to phase out the entire M1 Abrams fleet from service. By this time, the M1 Abrams will have seen 71 years of service with the U.S. Army and USMC. It will be presumably replaced by Main battle tanks or weapons systems resulting from either the GCV (Ground combat vehicle) program, or cancelled FCS (Future combat systems) program. In fiction 2053 sees the end of World War III, as given in Star Trek: First Contact. This was originally presumed to be the starting date for the War, but that was given as 2026 in the Star Trek: Enterprise two parter, "In a Mirror, Darkly". The currently given end year clouds logic over how in 2079, there is a postatomic horror directly attributed to the aftermath of World War Three (TNG episode "Encounter at Farpoint"). The Sega CD game Rise of the Dragon is set in a dystopian cyberpunk version of Los Angeles in 2053. The Ray Bradbury short story, "The Pedestrian", takes place on a 2053 November evening.

Christ and the Samaritan Woman,Duccio di Buoninsegna (c. 1260-1318) The panel by the great medieval Sienese master, Duccio, leads us into a devotional and cultural world where the influence of Byzantine art had continued to hold sway in Europe, especially in Italy. Sienese artists admired and sought to replicate the elegance, technical precision and glowing colours typical of Byzantine art. Like many other Sienese artists, Duccio sought above all to imbue traditional subjects like Christ and the Samaritan Woman with a haunting beauty that derived from Byzantine art. In this painting Duccio depicts the encounter between Christ and the unnamed woman with simplicity and solemnity. Christ appears seated on a fine marble well. The woman who stands opposite him engages directly with Christ in conversation. Duccio suggests the intimacy and respectfulness of this encounter between two people, who in that society have no business speaking together. Both Christ and the woman stand a little apart from each other. Note, however, how after the man and the woman have established contact through shared glances and gestures this action appears to collapse the physical (and temporal?) space which separates not only Christ and the woman from one another but also separates us from this moment. We observe that the woman carries a jar on her head as well as a metal pot which was used to draw water from the well. It is unclear which moment of the meeting Duccio has portrayed. Has the woman just arrived or is she about to return to her village to spread the news of her life-changing encounter? Duccio gives us a clue in the detail of the apostles, who are depicted returning with food at the right of the scene. The figures in the front hold loaves of bread in their cloaks. The disciples return with food for the body; the woman leaves with the gift of eternal life. www.columban.org.au/2013artguide/art-guide-october-2013/
