Island of Salvation

Alexander Segen

“People ask me, ‘How often should we go to church? Can we go once a week, or even once a month?’ I answer them, ‘You can stop going altogether. Just like that! Don’t go at all. Live your life without the Church, die, and you’ll go to hell. Then you’ll find yourself there, next to Hitler. You’ll be forever next to him. But just think about it: eternally! In hell. With Hitler.’”

Orthodox Russian London

On a leafy lane near Chiswick, in south-west London, the blue dome of a Russian Orthodox church rises surreally above the chestnut trees. Visible to drivers along the M4 on their way to and from Heathrow Airport, the Cathedral of the Dormition of the Mother of God and the Holy Royal Martyrs is, as the unwieldy name suggests, a symbolic statement of traditional faith in a city that growing numbers of Russians are adopting as a home from home.

Return to Byzantium

Bishop Tikhon (Zaitsev)

The largest and latest pilgrimage by Russian Christians to the holy sites of ancient Byzantium on the territory of modern Turkey has recently come to a close. A group of sixty pilgrims and clergymen from the Russian Orthodox Church visited the places so dear to the Orthodox heart, from Constantinople to Ephesus, travelling to the regions of Bithynia, Pontus, Lycia, Pamphylia, Cilicia, Cappadocia, Galatia, and Pisidia, sanctifying their path with united prayer, and Divine Services in half-ruined churches.

The Monasteries in Poland are Proof that the Church is Alive

Magdalena Slavinskaya , Archimandrite Athanasius (Nos)

I will say it once again: our goal is always salvation. The world changes, but the Orthodox faith does not. We should not conform to the world; the world should conform to the faith. Circumstances in life can change, but the strivings of the human soul remain forever unchanged. A person can strive for only one thing—for fullness, which is Jesus Christ. This is the most important thing in the life of every person who believes, and not only of the monk.

Blessed Maria Ivanovna of Diveyevo

No one ever heard from her any complaint, moaning, or unhappiness, nor irritability nor lamentations over human unfairness. The Lord Himself glorified her among the people for her God-pleasing life, her great humility and patience. People began to notice that what she would say or warn about would come to pass, and that those with whom she stayed would receive grace from God.
