The Spiritual Significance of the Post-Nativity Period
28/01/2026

The linear and, at the same time, cyclical logic of the Church calendar. The period between Holy Nativity and the Presentation of Christ to the Temple. Spiritual watchfulness versus festal carelessness. A call for repentance: the Fast of Catechumens established by St. Gregory the Illuminator, and the commemoration of Jonah the Prophet. The period of catechumenate.

Gabriel García Márquez
28/01/2026

The broadcast is dedicated to Colombian writer, Nobel Prize winner, and master of magical realism Gabriel García Márquez. His literary path wasn't easy. Work, sleepless nights, three packs of cigarettes a day, severe illnesses, which he was able to overcome. He also endured the lack of attention from readers and literary critics for a long time. His first works, which he had written with great enthusiasm and much attention, being interesting and innovative, made the writer recognizable much later when he had already completed his largest novel, "One Hundred Years of Solitude."
