Solemnities in Sevastopol. Remembering Those Who Departed

This month, November 2010, marks ninety years since the departure of the Russian army and emigration from the Crimea. 126 ships received the army, the officers' family, and a part of the civilian population of the Crimean ports—Sevastopol, Yalta, Theodosy, and Kerch. In all, 150,000 people departed from this shore to points around the globe.

Surviving as a Christian. A Missionary Priest in Chukotka

But then a crowd of kids covered with snow burst into the building—all students of our Sunday school. They looked at me with such joyous anticipation that we had no choice. It was quite dangerous and a great responsibility to cover thirty kilometers of tundra in a blizzard, but we went anyway.

Eastern Europe vs the Open Society

Srdja Trifkovic

Soros supports programs and organizations that further abortion rights and increased access to birth control devices; advocate ever more stringent gun control; and demand abolition of the death penalty. He supports radical feminists and “gay” activists, same-sex “marriage” naturally included. OSI states innocently enough that its objectives include “the strengthening of civil society; economic reform; education at all levels; human rights; legal reform and public administration; public health; and arts and culture,” but the way it goes about these tasks is not “philanthropy” but political activism in pursuit of all the familiar causes of the radical left—and some additional, distinctly creepy ones such as “Death in America.”

Greeks should keep and cherish the Orthodox Faith - Interview of Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk with Greek TV

Met. Hilarion (Alfeyev)

I would like to say that Greeks should keep, protect and cherish the Orthodox faith. If the Greeks go in the same direction like some other European countries by expelling Christianity from the public sphere and by being afraid to express their Orthodox faith because of so called tolerance or political correctness they will lose their country. Because it will no longer be Greece. Greece is unimaginable without Christianity.

New Martyrs of Our Times—Evgeny Rodionov the Warrior 1977–1996

Hieromonk Joachim

Evgeny was held captive for three and a half months. The Chechens demanded that he remove the cross that he wore around his neck, deny his Christian faith and agree to become a Muslim to stay alive. Evgeny refused to renounce his faith. Having suffered indescribable tortures and torments, he did not betray his Orthodox faith, but confirmed it with his blood.
