Who We Are
HEXAEMERON
is a non-profit organization which takes its name from the Greek term
that signifies the six days of Creation, as described in the opening
chapters of Genesis. St. Basil the Great, writing in the fourth century
about these six days, developed a text of nine treatises called The
Hexaemeron, a commentary on the biblical revelation expressed in successive
units of plenitude:
"And God said, let there be…"
Through His active will, shaping the visible and unseen worlds, God endowed each created constituent with secondary causality whereby all things achieve within themselves, and in relationship to one another, the purposes for which they were created. In so doing they become, as it were, unique and unrepeatable participants in Creation through joyous cooperation with their Maker.
HEXAEMERON encourages that participation, that joyous cooperation, by offering a collaborative basis to support labors in arts, education and charity. In keeping with its underlying principles and philosophy, HEXAEMERON sponsors an array of venues to individuals and organizations to achieve full measure of their creative endowment.
