Why does the fate of an old building matter? Because Hagia Sophia — Greek for "Holy Wisdom" — was for some thousand years Christianity's greatest cathedral. Built in 537 A.D. in Constantinople, the heart of the Christian empire, it was also a stalwart symbol of defiance against an ever encroaching Islam from the east.

The Bosnian civil war witnessed massacres on all sides because outside of the mass simplicity of political leaders and major media agencies you have a different reality which is hidden. After all, despite the reality that America, Iran, al-Qaeda, Saudi Arabia and many others were all on the same side; it didn’t suit the image of the alleged “underdog” against a powerful “enemy.” Therefore, thousands of Orthodox Christians were slaughtered in Bratunac and in the Srebrenica region but of course this had to be kept quiet because it didn’t suit the agenda.

We will not turn someone away because of a particular sin they struggle with. They are sinners like the rest of us who need God's forgiveness and help.

Most of the documents are the correspondence addressed to the head of the Armenian Church in Iran at that time, Archbishop Nerses Melik-Tangian. In their letters the deputies—Armenians, elders from different settlements, address the Archbishop, seeking his advice and direction.

Cross processions with this icon were held in many Monasteries and Convents of Serbia, Jerusalem and Mt. Athos. It was blessed by the head of the Serbian Orthodox Church Patriarch Irenej and the head of the Church of Jerusalem Patriarch Theophilos III.

На Духовски понедељак Његова Светост Патријарх српски г. Иринеј служио је свету Литургију у руском православном храму посвећеном Светој Тројици у Београду

У Посланици светог апостола Павла Римљанима стоје занимљиве речи: «А ваша се послушност разгласи свуда. Зато се радујем због вас; али хоћу да сте ви мудри за добро, а безазлени за зло». О каквој се мудрости ради? Зар је за чињење добра неопходно ишта друго, осим жарке жеље да се оно учини?
