What a beautiful video. I hope everyone shares this video with everyone else. This is true Orthodoxy. This is true Orthodox Church. These are strong conservative Orthodox Christians. Vladyka Guriy does not baptize children of sodomites. The faith of my people is inspiring. God bless them all. I wish I was there with them. I remember as a small child my Mother telling me to crawl underneath the Epitaphio (like they do in video) and I asked why? Because the Panagia will protect you! And the people marching through the city was truly inspiring. God is happy to see this. These are God's People marching in the streets proudly for our faith. They are not "social justice" malcontents rioting, burning, and looting in the streets. This is why all of our people, all Orthodox People, must reject the no good liberalism of the West! Don't believe everything that the Western news media and other Western entities are saying about my Russian Brothers. If you think that the West loves our Orthodox People, then I tell you this my friends, there is a huge ocean in the middle of the Sahara Desert that I want to sell to you...... Glory be to our God! THOXA SI O THEOS, THOXA SI! Just my humble opinion.
