Understanding Formal Creed Statements: Its Need in Early Christianity

Explore the need for formal creed statements in early Christianity, addressing false teachings like Gnosticism, Docetism, and Arianism to preserve the true faith of the Church.

In the name of God the Father, Christ Jesus His Son and the Holy Spirit, One True God. Amen. Dear brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus In the previous blog, where we introduced the topic of the Statement of Faith, we learned how the early Christian statement of faith, encapsulated in the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed, played a pivotal role in defining and uniting Christian belief across…

AeternaNova Northern Macedonian ethnographic project

"AeternaNova" (in Latin "aeterna"- ancient and "nova"-new) is an exhibition of photographs, folk costumes, and an ethnographic film, curated by Filip Petkovski Ph.D., UNESCO-certified heritage expert. It aims to represent the cultural heritage of Macedonians, Albanians, Turks, Roma, and Vlachs living in North Macedonia, and to feature recorded personal narratives of the models on the photos who are leaders in their professions (actors, musicians, athletes, public figures), about their views and experiences with diversity and inclusion.

The project incorporates new media, ethnography, and visual anthropology to contextualise the topic, while each photograph serves as a visual narrative aimed to illustrate the dynamic evolution of cultural identity in the region. We are led by the idea that cultural heritage must be reinterpreted and modernised to be largely disseminated, especially amongst the younger population, who might mystify and reject the topic of cultural heritage. The exhibition will take place at the Youth Cultural Centre in Skopje, while the results of the project will be published as a research paper in the journal "Macedonian Folklore" in which we will explore diversity, inclusion, and peaceful coexistence.

The project aims to emphasise the similarities in the cultures of all of the communities that live in North Macedonia and encourages the audience to engage in a process of mutual learning and enrichment of knowledge related to cultural heritage."

Roman Empire, Italy: The Roman expansion in Italy covers a series of conflicts in which Rome grew from being a small Italian city-state to be the ruler of the Italian region… In 200 A.D., Rome had roughly 1,200,000 citizens, and today it has over 2,500,000 residents. Rome started as a small Italian village along the Tiber River roughly 1,100 years before it became the largest city in the world.. Gladiator is loosely based on real events that occurred within the Roman Empire in the latter half of the 2nd century AD… Marcus Aurelius Antoninus better known by his nickname Caracalla was Roman emperor from 198 to 217 AD.

Silver tetrobol (diameter=15 mm; weight=2.45 g) minted in the Kingdom of Macedon during the reign of Perdiccas II (r. 454-413 BCE). The obverse features a horseman who wears a petasos (the broad, flat hat characteristic of Macedon) and carries hunting spears; he is accompanied by a dog. This image reflects the keen interest in hunting among the Macedonian aristocracy. The reverse features the Nemean Lion, whom Heracles slew as the first of his Twelve Labors. The Argead dynasty of Macedonian kings, to which Perdiccas belonged, claimed descent from Heracles; when Alexander I, the father of Perdiccas, sought to compete in the Olympic Games, he used this purported descent to prove his "Greekness". Above the lion is a kerykeion, the staff borne by heralds (and by Hermes, patron deity of heralds); those holding the kerykeion were sacrosanct and could not be harmed without incurring the wrath of the gods.

ѓурѓовден е! 🌿🌸

gjurgjovden is a celebration of nature for various peoples of macedonia. for ethnic macedonians, although the day bears a christian name, the traditions practiced stem from our pagan past. this illust depicts the tradition of young girls swinging and singing songs about crushes under a fruit bearing tree. cleavers are stuck on their clothes, so they stick to each other like the grass sticks to them. customs vary from region to region, so here i specifically focused on maleshevija, eastern macedonia, as well as maleshevski traditional dress.

gjurgjovden is about love as much as it's about nature to me. i celebrated it with my late grandmother, with whom i shared a name. i painted this last year, during the 40 day period of mourning after she died. the krpa here is like the one she gave me, that her mother made.

The kausia was an ancient Macedonian flat hat, commonly worn during the Hellenistic period, possibly even before Alexander the Great’s time. It was part of the royal attire for Macedonian kings, often adorned with a diadem. The hat served both as a symbol of status and practical protection against the sun, used by soldiers and commoners alike. The kausia has been depicted on coins, statues, and frescoes across regions influenced by Macedonian culture. Its design may have inspired similar headgear in modern-day #Afghanistan and #Pakistan, known as the pakol
