Holy Trinity Publications in Jordanville, New York, has published a new book on the lives of the holy men who have struggled for Orthodoxy in America.
Glorified in America: Laborers in the New World from Saint Alexis to Elder Ephraim covers a number of saints and holy elders who have served in America from the mid-19th through the 21st centuries.
The new title was authored by the brotherhood of the Monastery of St. John the Forerunner of Mesa Potamos, Cyprus, who also authored the popular The Romanov Royal Martyrs: What Silence Could Not Conceal.
Holy Trinity Publications describes the book:
Utilizing both words and images this book animates the lives of a selection of holy men who labored on the North American continent in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries to give birth to the Orthodox Church in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Some of these have been formally glorified as saints and others may yet be. This book is much more than a simple historical account or retelling of their lives and particular service in North America: it is a spiritual manual, which strives to inspire and encourage its readers in their own struggle for the attainment of the holiness that adorns the lives of those recounted here.
Chronologically the lives described herein span the years from 1854 to 2019 and focus on the time each man spent laboring in North America. None of them spent all their life on this continent but they left a legacy on these shores that endures to this day and will surely continue. The text is interspersed by an extensive collection of both black and white photographs and pen and ink drawings that, together with a final section of rich color photography, contribute greatly to bringing the reality of their life and times to us.
Glorified in America covers:
- St. Alexis of Wilkes-Barre
- St. Tikhon, Patriarch of Moscow
- St.John of Chicago
- St.Alexander of New York
- St.Raphael of Brooklyn
- St.Sebastian of Jackson

Glorified in America: Laborers in the New World from Saint Alexis to Elder Ephraim is available now from Holy Trinity Publications.
