In honor of St. Herman’s day, we are posting this film produced in 2006 by Yelena Matusevich, entitled, St. Herman’s relics. It narrates St. Herman’s mission through historical letters and contemporary commentary by local people—with an appearance by the memorable Dr. Lydia Black. The local Aleuts also talk about modern miracles of St. Herman, including Kodiak Island’s miraculous salvation from the Japanese. Of course, some my find it a little controversial regarding St. Herman’s relics, but all will doubtless be delighted by the ample footage shot on Spruce Island and the talks by Kodiak and Ouzinki natives.
