St. Philaret of Chernigov
After her translation from earth to Heaven, the prophetic word of Mary was naturally fulfilled in all its fullness: From henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. How can we not bless her now when, abiding in the glory of her Son, she intercedes for us as the Mother of all who believe in her Son?

St. Macarius of Optina
God never abandons those who have the good will to preserve themselves in purity and virginity to fall in this struggle; moreover for their struggle He crowns them with heavenly laurels.
Elena Lebedeva
The only monastery in Moscow dedicated to the Feast of the Miracle of St. Michael the Archangel at Chonae, and one of the most famous ecclesiastical monuments destroyed by the Bolsheviks, was located before the Revolution in the Kremlin, on Ivanovskaya Square. In earlier times, this grand Moscow monastery was even known as the “Great Lavra.”
Alexandra Kalinovskaya
