Archpriest George Zavershinsky
It’s impossible for man to see God. But the Son Whom He sent utters Divine words in human language and reveals God’s truth about being in this world.
You can glorify God not so much with the creation of your own hands—with the beautiful interior of churches, icons, and vestments—as with an inner spiritual response, feeling God’s presence where His voice is heard.
St. Luke (Voino-Yasenetsky), Archbishop of Crimea
One can be a bearer of light even while living without light; and one can live in sunlight while being dead, having no spiritual light within himself.
Thousands of Ukrainian Orthodox faithful flocked to venerated sites of miracles worked by God and the Theotokos for back-to-back feasts this week.
Every year, around the new calendar feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord, mysterious snakes appear in the villages of Markopoulo and Agrinia where there are chapels dedicated to the Dormition of the Theotokos, remaining until the feast of the Dormition on August 15.
