Kontakion of St. Mary of Egypt
Once you were defiled with every impurity, but today, through repentance, you have become a Bride of Christ. Desiring to imitate the life of the Angels, you have cast down the demons with the weapon of the Cross. Therefore, O glorious Saint Mary, you have appeared as a bride of the heavenly kingdom.

EXAPOSTEILARION
We have you as an example of true repentance, O Most-devout Mary. Please pray to Christ that in this season of the Fast this gift may be conferred upon us; to praise you in hymns with faith and love.

Nick was born March 1, 1934 in Klapsi, Greece  to Thomas Nicholas  & Fotini Hamberis Mathes.  His early years were spent in his beloved village of Klapsi, where he expressed his adventurous and mischievous spirit accompanied by his equally mischievous friends, many of whom he remained close to until the end.

After enduring the unspeakable hardshi...
