The Historical Role of Personalities

A Homily on the Feast of Blessed Xenia of St. Petersburg

Archimandrite Symeon (Tomachinsky)

There’s probably no history textbook that talks about Blessed Xenia of St. Petersburg, whose memory we are celebrating today.

A Homily on the Feast of the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God

Hieromonk Nikon (Parimanchuk)

“Today is radiantly adorned the most glorious city of Moscow”—so begins the main hymn of the fеast in honor of this icon.
