Beloved in Christ,

Now, in the holy days of the Annunciation and the Bright Resurrection of Christ, the Holy Spirit has united heaven and earth, proclaiming to us the incarnation of the Word of God and the mystery of salvation of the human race through our Lord Jesus Christ.

May your heart be a temple of the Holy Spirit, where the fear of God restrains every evil thought, and the joy of the Resurrection restores the spirit of purity, humility, and spiritual diligence.

May the Tabor Light illumine the Holy and Great Church of Christ with peace, unity, and prayer, establishing in every believer freedom from passions, inner stillness, and unceasing elevation of the spirit to the Lord.

With blessing and prayer,
Hesychasterion Dexiokratusa

With humility and prayerful silence, we offer our condolences to the Georgian Patriarchate on the repose of the great elder — Ilia II, Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia.

Sharing in the sorrow of Orthodoxy, in the Hesychasterion we offer our prayers for the repose of the soul of the newly reposed Patriarch in the dwellings of the righteous.

May the Most Holy Theotokos grant Her heavenly consolation to the Holy Church of Georgia in this time of trial.

Memory eternal to him.

At the Beginning of Great Lent

Great Lent is a time for the mind to return to its source.

For where the mind is scattered, there the person is outside himself. Where the mind returns, there life begins.

For the hesychast, fasting is not deprivation, but return. Not an outward change, but an inward gathering. Not a rejection of the world, but standing before God in the silence of the heart.

In this return, the soul finds again the peace that does not depend on circumstances or time.

On its feast day, the Hesychastery prayerfully venerates the Most Holy Theotokos Dexiokratousa, placing its hope in Her intercession and mercy for the whole world.  

The Holy Hesychasterion of Panagia Dexiokratousa    
25.01.2026

As we enter a new civil year, we are reminded that our days and years are not ruled by time itself, but are held in the hand of God.

For the world, the new year is simply a change of numbers; for the Christian, it is a reminder of how brief our path is, and of the need for watchfulness and repentance, so that each day may become an offering of thanksgiving to God.

The Hesychasterion, living in silence and prayer, does not celebrate the passing of time, but prays for those who live through it in labor, sorrow, and hope. We pray that the Lord may grant peace to hearts, strength to the weak, comfort to the afflicted, and light to those who seek the truth.

May the coming year be not a year of fear and distraction, but a time of peace, inner gathering, purification of thoughts, and growth in the love of Christ.

Entrusting all the faithful children of Christ to the mercy of God, the Hesychasterion bears witness: salvation is found in the stillness of the heart, in patience and faithfulness, and not in outward success.

With prayer for all who enter the new civil year, we remain in hope in the Lord.

  Greeting of the Hesychasterion of Dexiokratousa.

The Nativity of Christ is the silence into which Light enters.

Not by the noise of the world, but by the stillness of the manger, Life is born.

The Word of God humbles Himself, that the heart may learn to be silent and to attend.

He who preserves inner stillness shall behold the peace of Christ, brought by Him through His Nativity.

  Greeting of the Hesychasterion of Dexiokratousa.
