Telling The Story
Ananke
Hi, welcome to Telling the Story, I'm your host Fr. David Smith. Today's Telling the Story is inspired by the feast of the Nativity of the Mother of God, which falls on a Sunday this year. Her birth is truly the beginning of our salvation! But I've always been intrigued by the appearance in the Divine Liturgy itself of the name of one of the ancient Greek goddesses - the word does not refer to the goddess, it's there because in modern Greek the word means need, compulsion, or necessity. I wonder - what would this non-existent goddess say to try and gain followers today in our present culture? Today's Telling the Story is entitled "Ananke."
