Spring / Summer 2022
 

We are pleased to announce that The Classical Church of Byzantium Novum is now an officially registered 501c3 religious organization with Church status!
 

As of 2021 we became a "legal" religious organization, empowered to appoint legal Clergy, and publicly recognized for performing weddings, funerals and more. This is a huge step forward in honoring the Dii Imperii , the divine Goddesses and Gods of the ancient Classical world!

The Classical Church of Byzantium Novum also has a new official insignia, a Classical altar with a Globe, and three stars, and the words VOTUS AET "Eternal Vows." This wonderful symbol shows that the ancient ways still continue around the world, and will continue!

UPCOMING EVENTS:  

May 11th is promoted by Byzantium Novum as "International Byzantine Day!" This is the date on which Constantinople was consecrated by official ceremony by the Emperor Constantine. The consecration was done by both Pagan and Christian clergy, setting an example of tolerance and equality, and ensuring that the energies of ALL deity would be a part of Byzantium forever. On that day, sacred religious items from all paths, including Pagan treasures such as the Palladium, and important Christian relics were stored together at the base of the Pillar of Constantine to make the entire city holy. This is a day in which Classical rites are completely historical in a Byzantine context.

MithraCon, 2022 is currently unscheduled due to Covid. This event will be held again when facilities at Yale University Campus are open.  This is sadly the second year where in-person meeting has not been possible and we hope that MithraCon will be able to continue soon!

The Byzantine Pagan website continues to be updated - please check back often for new content!
