The Old Calendar Movement in Greece: An Historical Survey

From the Editor

For more than seventy-five years, Holy Trinity Orthodox Seminary (HTOS) in Jordanville, NY has earned a well-deserved reputation as a school that prepares priests who know how to serve and who understand the Church’s tradition. The emphasis on academic research is a more recent development. For that reason, independent scholarly projects such as the study presented here by Archpriest George Lardas (Class of 1983) remain relatively rare and deserve special attention.

Future Father George was born in 1953 and raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In 1975 he received a B.S. from the University of Michigan, followed by an M.S. degree in 1979 from the same institution. His previous academic formation thus equipped him well for the research that produced this thesis. This thesis is published here with the permission of the administration of Holy Trinity Orthodox Seminary.
