Thanksgiving

Issue 02Thanksgiving

Eucharist is the Greek word for thanksgiving. It means to consecrate a thing by giving thanks, to bless. In the book For the Life of the World, Alexander Schmemann proposes a uniquely Christian way of understanding the world around us; Creation is a sacrament of God’s presence, it is a gift given to make humanity’s life communion with God. We hope the reflections collected here help you give thanks, not only during the Thanksgiving holiday, but in every feast and every meal beyond.

All of the artwork in this issue was created with AI DALL·E 2.
