Nun Elizaveta (Goncharova)
“The Queen of Heaven Herself?! Visiting us?! Bring Her! I will gather all of our parish this exact evening!”
And it happened exactly as he told us. Ten days later, we received a call from the local Athonite metochion asking to pick up our icon. On the same day, we also had a call from the printing office: the print run of the icons-postcards of “The Queen of All” was ready.
Evidence of the Icon's presence in Sozopol can be documented up to the VIII century, after which it is no longer mentioned.
Archpriest Oleg Stenyayev
God’s Law is like a mirror that shows us our true state. And that young man who claimed to have fulfilled everything was living in a fantasy, a kind of proud and arrogant delusion.
Fr. James Guirguis
It is said that before the end of the world the temple in Jerusalem will be rebuilt and someone will enter that temple to receive worship. This will no doubt be an anti-Christ or The AntiChrist. But as Christians we are reminded that we have no need of a temple since we as Christians become the temple of the Holy Spirit.
