Homily on the Nativity of St. John the Forerunner and Baptizer of the Lord

St. Luke (Voino-Yasenetsky), Archbishop of Crimea

Russia

St. John of Shanghai

The commemoration day of the saints who shown forth in the Russian land show us that spiritual heaven under which the Russian land was created and lived. Before Holy Prince Vladimir, in the Russian land lived disparate pagan tribes who were constantly at war with each other. Holy Prince Vladimir brought them a new faith, a new inner spiritual state; he gave them a new, all-uniting spirit of life, and thus was one nation formed.
