St.John the Russian was actually from what is today Ukraine,born in about 1860.He was taken prisoner and enslaved by the Turks during the Russo-Turkish war.The son of Orthodox Christians,he lived in his master's humble stable with the animals.Nonetheless,he was a wonderworker both in this life and the next.This monastery has one of his relics,which are incorrupt.The rest of his body is kept in the Church of St.John the Russian in Prokopi,Evia,Greece.Andrew Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00034754610788746498noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7728698760344374078.post-73111856801951679402024-03-11T16:33:00.000-07:002024-03-11T16:33:50.508-07:00Panorthodox Synod : ΛΟΓΟΣ ΚΑΤΗΧΗΤΗΡΙΟΣ ΤΗΣ ΑΓΙΑΣ ΚΑΙ ΜΕΓΑΛΗΣ ΤΕΣΣΑΡΑΚΟ...Greek/English Encyclical on Holy and Great Lent by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew<a href="https://panorthodoxsynod.blogspot.com/2024/03/blog-post_11.html?spref=bl">Panorthodox Synod : ΛΟΓΟΣ ΚΑΤΗΧΗΤΗΡΙΟΣ ΤΗΣ ΑΓΙΑΣ ΚΑΙ ΜΕΓΑΛΗΣ ΤΕΣΣΑΡΑΚΟ...</a>: Οικουμενικόν Πατριαρχείον Greek/English Λόγος Κατηχητήριος επί τη ενάρξει της Αγίας και Μεγάλης Τεσσαρακοστής (2024) + Β Α Ρ Θ Ο Λ Ο Μ Α Ι...Andrew Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00034754610788746498noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7728698760344374078.post-91305583197840537772024-03-10T23:03:00.000-07:002024-03-10T23:54:53.844-07:00Book Launch – 'Mary Bearer of Life' by Bishop Christopher Cocksworth<iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/jIQ-netpayY?si=khNluzkd2YkEtwf3" frameborder="0"></iframe>Andrew Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00034754610788746498noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7728698760344374078.post-76164052818963310762024-03-09T17:55:00.000-08:002024-03-09T17:55:37.202-08:00Εσπερινός Κυριακής της Απόκρεω - Vespers of the Sunday of the Apocalypse (Last Judgement)<iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://youtube.com/embed/WxLMms8nLDQ?si=WJq3cVXQG4x8jdf4" frameborder="0"></iframe>Andrew Taylorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00034754610788746498noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7728698760344374078.post-62445239373998005432024-03-08T00:38:00.000-08:002024-03-08T00:44:43.561-08:00FS Železiar - Kolomyjky (Rusyn Folk Songs)<iframe style="background-image:url(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/7Kzrl_Q3DV8/hqdefault.jpg)" width="480" height="360" src="https://youtube.com/embed/7Kzrl_Q3DV8?si=41_OGNrqYCA43l0b" frameborder="0"></iframe>
