We shall uphold the candle of Orthodoxy in Kosovo!

Archimandrite Tikhon (Shevkunov)

Today, at the threshold of Great Lent, with the blessing of His Holiness Kirill, I would like to address you with a special sermon. You all know that that for two decades now, a tragedy is happening in the Serbian land. The Orthodox inhabitants of Kosovo and Metohija have been pushed out of their ancient, native lands. Many have lost their lives, not to mention their property.

“Even While They Teach, Men Learn” Interview with Hieromonk Job (Gumerov)

Hieromonk Job (Gumerov), Vladimir Kuzmin

Fr Job, we sometimes publish your answers to “Questions to a Priest” posted on pravoslavie.ru. You manage to find simple and persuasive answers to difficult and ticklish questions which are within the grasp of people who don’t delve very deeply into religious matters. How are you able to find just the right words, what literature do you refer to, what experiences do you draw from?

Wayne, WV: "Today the Sretensky Monastery Rejoiceth..:" The First Celebration of the English Service to St. Hilarion of Verey in Holy Cross Monastery

"Here at the monastery, we are often tempted to complain about conditions not being exactly what we want them to be," explains Fr. Alexander. "It’s very easy for us to think that, in order for us to be saved, in order for us to have a successful monastic or spiritual life, or Christian life in general, we need the right conditions to live in, the right church to pray in, the right financial stability, the right order to our lives and our prayer. However, oftentimes these conditions are not present, much like today when we as Orthodox Christians are a minority in America.

A Chance to Talk about the Sacred

Antonina Maga

"I think that this book will make a large contribution to helping someone find his way to God. People are longing for this path, but can't find it amongst the weeds and grasses. They are held back by their upbringing, their surroundings, fear, the dread of feeling awkward in the presence of a priest. This book has the most important thing, in my opinion—the beginning of the path for anyone that wants to move forward into the great world of Orthodoxy

The Sunday of the Blind Man, and Courage

Archimandrite Tikhon (Shevkunov)

Today in the Gospel we heard a story about an exceptionally courageous man—the man born blind. This man, having come to know and having seen God, was not afraid of any of the trials, of any of the temptations that the spiritually blind Pharisees, who warred against the truth, who warred against Christ, were setting before him.

Sermon on the Sunday of the Blind Man

Arichimandrite Tikhon (Shevkunov)

Perhaps today’s story of the healing of the blind man is especially important for us, for our generation. When the Savior walked near the blind man who was known throughout Jerusalem without asking him anything, not even about his faith, he passed by him and healed him. The blind man became a man who sees; the Pharisees began interrogating him, asking him who worked this great benefaction for him—something they themselves would never have been able to do.

Fr. Abbakum and the Pskov Religious Affairs Commissioner

Archimandrite Tikhon (Shevkunov)

That is just how it was. From early morning, at his post by the Holy Gates, Fr. Abbakum, demanded that every person entering the monastery read the Nicene-Constantinople Creed, composed by the fathers of the first and second Ecumenical Councils in the fourth century. His calculation was ingeniously simple: every church-going Orthodox person knows this text by heart.

About our Guardian Angel

Archimandrite Tikhon (Shevkunov)

During those years, Nicholai Sergeyevich was just beginning to enter into the life of the Church, and he still had many questions. One of those questions he asked me was regarding the Orthodox teaching on the angelic world; about guardian angels. I tried very hard, but to my dismay, I still felt that he was disappointed by my artless explanations.
