Nizhny Novgorod, September 14, 2016

A particle of St. Seraphim's relics will be conveyed to the crew of the International Space Station.

The ceremony will take place in St. Seraphim Diveyevo Monastery on September 16 in the Nizhny Novgorod Region, the press service of the local diocese reported on Tuesday.

The members of the crewed spacecraft Soyuz MS-02, which consists of Sergey Ryzhikov, Andrey Borisenko, and Shane Kimbrough (NASA), will deliver the particle to the ISS. After the flight, the particle will be conveyed to the Transfiguration Cathedral in Zvezdny Gorodok in the Moscow Region.

As was reported, Ryzhikov is going to take icons, the Gospels, and stones from Mt.Tabor with him. The call for the crew is "Tabor" after the holy mountain in Israel where, according to the Gospels, Christ was transfigured before the disciples forty days before the Crucifixion.

It is planned that the Soyuz MS-02 spaceship will be launched on September 23. The planned duration of the flight is 155 days.

As a beginning, Prokhor set off with five companions to the Kiev Caves Lavra, desiring to receive the blessing of the Kiev Elders. Among the ascetics of that monastery was the famous elder Dositheus (who was found to be a woman after she died). That clairvoyant elder had been in continual contact with the blessed Elder Paisius Velichkovsky, and with those monastics who were of one mind with him. Dositheus gave Prokhor spiritual instruction, counselled him to study the ancient Holy Fathers on the work of interior prayer, and directed him to go to Sarov Monastery and remain there until death, for there he would find salvation.

In literally a few weeks, a group of Orthodox Christians established a parish in the Russian Orthodox tradition. This group included not only Russians but dyed-in-the-wool Americans. Today St Seraphim Parish also boasts Bulgarians, Serbs, Romanians and other Orthodox Christians.

Who has delivered the relics of St. Seraphim to actornauts to be taken in Hollywood basements?

It's time to name the hierarchs and clergies who bless this hoax!
