Why is Prince Vladimir called holy and given the title Equal-to-the-Apostles? He converted from the darkness of paganism to the light of Christ, receiving baptism, baptizing the Kievans and sending emissaries to baptize the people of the other cities and regions of his duchy.

The power that emanates from a monastery is not only real and tangible, it is intensely powerful, life-creating and life-changing.

Protecting the East and its people happens through turning off the fire of wars. Protecting this land happens through looking with humanitarian eye to all what is happening not in the eye of interests.
