In honor of the thirtieth anniversary of his glorification by the Church Abroad, the Feast of St John the Wonderworker this year was marked with special solemnity at Holy Virgin Cathedral in San Francisco, where the saint’s incorruptible relics lie enshrined.
Archimandrite Luke (Pinaev)
The feast of All Saints is naturally linked with the feast of the Holy Trinity (Pentecost).
Hieromonk Pafnuty (Fokin)
“Simply going to see batiushka, just seeing him somewhere, glancing at him—it was impossible to leave unconsoled after that."
One day, in the ruins of a house, I picked up a book in the trash. I began to read it and felt something so dear and sweet to my heart. It was the Gospel.
Archpriest Gregory Dyachenko
God’s wrath, which at Elisha’s word destroyed the children who mocked the holy elder-prophet, gives us, brothers, cause to talk to you today about why we must show honor and respect to our elders and people in general who are older than us.
