Washington, DC: Parish of St. John the Baptist Cathedral organizing Pilgrimage to Holy Trinity Monastery

Washington, DC, October 6, 2014

On Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th of October, the parish of St. John the Baptist Cathedral in Washington, DC will hold its annual pilgrimage to visit the grave of Jose Muñoz-Cortes at Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville, NY.

Cathedral rector Archpriest Victor Potapov invites the faithful of all of the parishes in the Eastern American Diocese to join the pilgrimage and come together in prayerful commemoration of the martyred Br. Jose. This year marks the 32nd anniversary of the beginning of the miraculous streaming of myrrh from the "Montreal" Iveron Icon of the Mother of God, and the 17th anniversary of Br. Jose’s martyric death. His Eminence Hilarion, Metropolitan of Eastern America & New York, will lead the divine services at the monastery; the myrrh-streaming "Hawaiian" Iveron Icon of the Mother of God will be present, as well.

As 2015 begins, OrthoChristian.com feels it is time once again to talk about the plight of Jordanville Monastery and Seminary, which holds a special place in the heart of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad and indeed for all the Orthodox people of America and around the world.

In June 2013, the journalist and traveler Alexander Voloshchuk, in honor of the 1025th anniversary of Baptism of Russia, began his cross procession with the Mozdok icon of the Mother of God from Tyrnyauz to Tibet and back.

While the sinister circumstances of his death are still unclear, it is tempting to speculate concerning the motive for such a ghastly murder; after all, the Icon was not in Brother Joseph's possession at the time. From a spiritual perspective, however, the explanation is apparent. As written in an obituary prepared by the Icon's Home: "We live in a time of great spiritual awakening, but the spirit that awakens is that of satan, and all that is of Christ, of Jesus, of God, is a goading irritant to the carnal man, inciting the infernal wrath of the deluded."
