March 16, 1942
The Day the Orthodox Youth Movement Entered the History of the Church of Antioch
84 Years Since Its Founding... and the Movement Is Still Vibrant With Faith
March 16, 1942, at three o'clock in the afternoon... the dawn of a new era began in the See of Antioch. A date that carried hope, faith, and determination amidst the stagnation and crises that the Church was passing through at the time. A youthful date that formed a bright spring of joy which restored life to every spot of despair and sadness. It is the official founding date of a Movement that knows no identity other than life in Christ, and no system other than the Gospel translated into life. It is the Orthodox Youth Movement (OYM – MJO), the caring mother, the safe haven, and the community that believes in the talents of youth and the work of the Holy Spirit among them, bearing the slogan, "For in him we live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:28).
The Orthodox Youth Movement celebrates its 84rd anniversary this year. Its founding was merely the beginning of a revivalist workshop, carried by the founders' concerns and aspirations, with the aim of building the individual in Christ through knowledge and action, studying the Bible and matters of faith, delving into the depths of Jesus Christ's teachings, and bearing witness to the Lord. This is also achieved through service, translating faith into love for others and standing by every relative and stranger.
