Today marks the celebration of the Indiction, or the Orthodox New Year. The tradition of beginning the year in September comes from ancient Roman practice and was adopted by the Church. This is a time of new beginnings, when we offer prayers for God's blessing upon the new year and remember His providence in the cycle of seasons. This day has been designated Day for the Protection of our Natural Environment by the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
