We were honored to have one of our most beloved New York City
Greek Orthodox Clergy, the Very Reverend Archimandrite Father
Chrysostomos Gilbert, Parish Priest of the Annunciation Greek
Orthodox Church on the Upper Westside. Father Chrysostomos, the son
of a Greek Orthodox Priest, grew up in Salt Lake City and found his
calling early on. Upon graduating from the seminary in Boston, then
a Deacon, Father moved to New York City and worked
for the Archdiocese and was eventually elevated to Priesthood in a
shorter time than most and assigned to the Annunciation. We talked
about his journey into Priesthood, what the job entails, the
richness of our Orthodox religion including an explanation on
"Greek Easter" and the very spiritual and fun time Father, myself
and 40 other of our fellow Brothers and Sisters in Christ had on
our Pilgrimage to the Holy Land this past February. An affable man
of the cloth, we felt extra bless having him on.
