One year memorial of Geronda Ephraim of Arizona to be celebrated on December 5

On Saturday, December 5, Saint Anthony’s Greek Orthodox Monastery will be celebrating with great joy the one-year anniversary of the falling asleep in the Lord of the monastery’s founding father and spiritual guide, Geronda Ephraim of Arizona (he reposed on December 7). Geronda left his holy blessing as an inheritance, not only through the fond memories and the miraculous experiences that each of his spiritual children, accumulated in obedience to him, but most importantly they found themselves walking on the spiritual path by following his holy teachings, which are the teachings of the Holy Fathers of the Church.
