“It’s Tougher in the Monastery than It Is in Prison”

Natalia Popova

“Now things have sort of come into place,” he says. “I am trying to leave more gradually; I ask Fr. Barsanuphius’s blessing to go to town for a change of scenery. I used to get overtaken by a strong urge, and a couple of times I just ran out and hitchhiked to Moscow. When I returned I got into an argument with batiushka, but he forgave me and let me come back. I didn’t last long in Moscow. It’s too early for me to go there yet.”

Island of Salvation

Alexander Segen

“People ask me, ‘How often should we go to church? Can we go once a week, or even once a month?’ I answer them, ‘You can stop going altogether. Just like that! Don’t go at all. Live your life without the Church, die, and you’ll go to hell. Then you’ll find yourself there, next to Hitler. You’ll be forever next to him. But just think about it: eternally! In hell. With Hitler.’”

Orthodox Russian London

On a leafy lane near Chiswick, in south-west London, the blue dome of a Russian Orthodox church rises surreally above the chestnut trees. Visible to drivers along the M4 on their way to and from Heathrow Airport, the Cathedral of the Dormition of the Mother of God and the Holy Royal Martyrs is, as the unwieldy name suggests, a symbolic statement of traditional faith in a city that growing numbers of Russians are adopting as a home from home.

Documentary on Hogar Rafael, "Miracle In Zone One"

From its founding more than 150 years ago, through its seizure by the government of Guatemala and its return to a descendant of the founder, Orthodox Christian nun Madre Inés Ayau García, in the 1990s, the story of “The Hogar” and its impact on the life of children and adults involves one miracle after another.

How the Great and Holy Monastery of Vatopedi is helping people at Porto Lagos

Where else are people going to get assistance if not from the Church at times of crisis? Our people come here, at the monasteries, and that’s why it is imperative that monasteries own property so that they are able to help our aching brothers. Where else can they go?

Return to Byzantium

Bishop Tikhon (Zaitsev)

The largest and latest pilgrimage by Russian Christians to the holy sites of ancient Byzantium on the territory of modern Turkey has recently come to a close. A group of sixty pilgrims and clergymen from the Russian Orthodox Church visited the places so dear to the Orthodox heart, from Constantinople to Ephesus, travelling to the regions of Bithynia, Pontus, Lycia, Pamphylia, Cilicia, Cappadocia, Galatia, and Pisidia, sanctifying their path with united prayer, and Divine Services in half-ruined churches.

The Monasteries in Poland are Proof that the Church is Alive

Magdalena Slavinskaya , Archimandrite Athanasius (Nos)

I will say it once again: our goal is always salvation. The world changes, but the Orthodox faith does not. We should not conform to the world; the world should conform to the faith. Circumstances in life can change, but the strivings of the human soul remain forever unchanged. A person can strive for only one thing—for fullness, which is Jesus Christ. This is the most important thing in the life of every person who believes, and not only of the monk.

Blessed Maria Ivanovna of Diveyevo

August 26/ September 8 (†1931)

No one ever heard from her any complaint, moaning, or unhappiness, nor irritability nor lamentations over human unfairness. The Lord Himself glorified her among the people for her God-pleasing life, her great humility and patience. People began to notice that what she would say or warn about would come to pass, and that those with whom she stayed would receive grace from God.

Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem Theophilos III — The Greek Orthodox Church and the Future of Jerusalem

In terms of culture and even politics, the patriarchate is very important, first of all because it gives legitimacy to the historical claims that the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the PA have over the holy places — because they both have claims from the Muslim Caliph Omar ibn al-Khattab, when the Muslims took over the city of Jerusalem from the then-Patriarch of Jerusalem Sophronius, and it is well known that they made a peace covenant known as “the Covenant of Omar.” This fundamental agreement has been the basis of all the legal transactions or legal agreements that have taken place so far between the patriarchate and the states and their respective authorities.

An Arab Woman with a Russian Soul

A conversation with Nun Veronica (Raheb) of the Mount of Olives Ascension Convent

Antony Kholodiuk

Russian nuns from the Mount of Olives frequently stayed at our house when they would visit Bethlehem on big holidays. Nun Tatyana, whom my brother Ilia and I called our “Russian grandmother” would visit. Ilia was killed at the front in Jordan when he was 23 years old... She brought me to the convent, “only for a couple of months,” and as it turned out, for the rest of my life.

Hieromonk Ignaty (Shestakov)

"We still have hope," states a communiqué in the Rasko-Prizren diocese, "that the celebration of the Divine Liturgy, which prayerfully revived the monastery of the Holy Trinity, will be followed by other steps leading to a popular and spiritual rebirth, and Serbian return to this land."

Orthodoxy in the Land of the Kiwi

Hieromonk Ignaty (Shestakov)

We imagine New Zealand as a distant, fairy tale land at the end of the earth. Its landscapes have become known only recently through their depiction in the movies. Nevertheless, few know that Orthodox parishes of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad have existed here for a half century now. Other local Orthodox churches also serve the spiritual needs of their flocks in New Zealand.

The Mount of Olives Convent, Part 3. Wartime, and the Completion of the Church

"Millions of the creatures crawled along the ground, making a great din," wrote one of the sisters of the convent, "a clear and obvious punishment from God, the like of which none of us has ever witnessed before. Every day for a month we have struggled against the all-devouring locusts, beating and burning them."

The Mount of Olives Convent, Part 2. Fr. Antonin, Fr. Parthenius, and the Founding of the Community

Finally, in 1865, Fr. Antonin was appointed to Jerusalem and became head of the Mission, or the "pilgrimage organization" as they used to call it. Its task was to care for and feed the huge number of Russian pilgrims in the Holy Land who, every year, right up to World War I, arrived in the tens of thousands.

The Mount of Olives Convent

The Mount of Olives is one of the holiest places on the earth. It is first mentioned in the Bible over a thousand years before the birth of Christ, in the Second Book of Kings, where one finds described the expulsion of King David from Jerusalem and his withdrawal to the Mount of Olives for prayer (II Kings 15:23, 30-32). It was here also that the Prophet Ezekiel beheld a vision of the cherubim and the glory of the Lord (Ezek. 11:22-23).
