The Monks Spyridon

and Nicodemus are

popularly known as the

“Prosphora-bakers” of

the Kiev Caves. They

spent thirty years at the

Monastery of the Kiev

Caves baking Prosphora,

the bread transformed

into the Body of Christ

in the Divine Liturgy.

For centuries, and still in a number of Churches,

the Prosphora would be baked by a member of

the parish as an offering of the people. This was

the work of Spyridon and Nicodemus in the 12th

Century. Spyridon carried out his work in and

out of the kitchen with the singing of Psalms and

continuous prayer. Even though Spyridon was

unable to read, with all his time in the services of

the Church, he learned all of the Psalms by heart.

At one time, a great fire broke out from the oven

and with only his mantle in his hand, Spyridon

blotted out the entire fire. The Mantle was

miraculously unharmed.

O Holy Fathers, pray to God for us!

O who loves Nicholas the Saintly O kto kto Nikolaja l’ubit

O who serves Nicholas the Saintly O kto kto Nikolaju služit

Him will Nicholas receive Tomu svajatyj Nikolaj

And give help in time of need Na vsjakij čas pomahaj

Holy Father Nicholas Nikolaj, Nikolaj

ACT 1

Julia Clemente was one

of the official Talent

Show “Master of

Ceremonies”. She, Julia

Timko and Olga Horbal

introduced each act and

congratulated the

performance at its

conclusion. Great job to

all of you!

Michael

McAusland was

our first act as he

played Tic-Tac-

Toe and Swinging

Along on the

keyboard.

The 2016 Talent

Show started with a

stirring rendition of

New York, New

York complete with

kicks at the end!

Christina, Olga, Julia beautifully sang the

classic Červena Ruža (Red Rose).

Abigail Petrik sang

Love Yourself by

Justin Beiber. We

believe in you,

Abigail!

Altar boy Kevin

Rusinak and “soon-to-

be” altar boy John

Gajdos signed a

napkin contract with

His Grace, Bishop

Gregory to become

priests one day. All of

us got to see how

serious these two take

this commitment. Our

“service” ended with

announcements and a

collection. Perfect!

Gabriela Gajdos and Katelyn

Rusinak performed a dance routine

complete with gymnastic moves to

Fireball by Pitbull. Love the

costumes!

Verginia Ganfalean

skillfully played Ode to Joy

and Hot Cross Buns on her

recorder.

Fr. William & Pani Ileana did a

rousing version of the ultimate

geography song: The Nations of

the World.

While Anastasia Koss took us to

one part of their song by playing

an inspiring and beautiful

YouTube video presentation of

her time and travels in China,

Japan, Seoul and other Asian

countries. Wow.

And now, it is Luke Petricha with the news!

One of the highlights of the

Talent Show is a light-

hearted News Update

including the “important”

news at St. Nicholas Church.

(adeptly written by Justine

Gidicsin). Luke reported

about Coffee Mike Kelcho,

who we hope never leaves.

There was an investigative

report on Fr. William, with

background provided by his

Mom, Victoria.

Breaking news was the start of a St. Nicholas

Mentoring program. Unfortunately, Charlie Gaydos

was having trouble with one of his altar boys, John

Busel. George Chobor has a young chef in training.

Alexander Ioukliaevskikh is currently a Jr. Battle

Chef Champion. Alex appears in a Time Magazine

Cooking with Kids segment on YouTube video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNBnNrpITqA

which was shown during the News broadcast.

Alex represented the NY Boys Club, Harriman

House and was selected for this honor by his peers.

Way to go Alex!

New this year was

the addition of a

commercial break.

“If your refrigerator

breaks down – who

are you going to

call…

ACT 2 Kevin Rusinak sang the haunting

song Heathens by Twenty One

Pilots. The song advises a person

to talk about Christ to the

singer’s friends, the “heathens”

by taking it slow and getting to

know their struggles first.

Julia Clemente, a

winner of the

prestigious Crescendo

International Music

Competition expertly

played The Return, a

classical musical

piece by Freidrich

Burgmüller.

Gabriela Gajdos

treated us to the

Dance of the Sugar

Plum Fairies from the

Nutcracker Ballet.

Gabriela played Clara

Stahlbaum, the main

character in the 2015

performance of the

Nutcracker by her

dance troupe.

St. Nicholas Church is

blessed to have its

very own “Andrews

Sisters”. The

Clemente girls sang

the girl anthem song

This is Me, by Demi

Lovato.

Julia Timko

and Anastasia

Koss sang the

song H.O.L.Y.

by the Florida

Georgia Line

(High on

Loving You)

Andrew McAusland is

a two-time winner of

the prestigious

Crescendo

International Music

Competition. He

played two pieces – a

more contemporary

piece by Billy Joel,

The Longest Time and

the classical

Solfeggietto by CPE

Bach.

The finale by the entire cast was What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong. What a wonderful afternoon.

Thank you all for bringing so much joy to the audience by sharing your talents. We can’t wait for next year.

Johnny Gajdos ended the

2016 Talent Show and

brought down the house

with his version of Uptown

Funk, by Mark Ronson and

Bruno Mars

“Don’t believe, just watch”

We believe you, Johnny –

you are one fantastic

dancer.
