The Saints of Fort Ross

One came by schooner, and then horseback. Two came by steam locomotive, and then stagecoach. Holy men on a mission-they came, they prayed and departed. Their presence at Fort Ross, Russian colony turned California State Park, is exceptional. It is the only public park in the United States that has been graced by three saints. In a sense, Fort Ross is a kind of hallowed ground.

The Greek Orthodox Church under Ottoman rule

Huntington could have been writing about the churches today, for little has changed over the more than 90 years that have passed.

“Amidst This Wonderful Nature, Even a Long Road Seemed to be Short”

Founders Day of St. Tikhon’s Monastery, October 2014

Like St. Tikhon at the founding of this Holy Monastery, we too live in turbulent times. But this place, this sacred place where Saints have walked, has been an image of stability and a rock of faith, just as its founders were.

What is Orthodox Christianity?

Rev. Edward Batchko

In America, awareness of the Orthodox Church and its teachings is so scarce and misunderstood to the extent that some groups judge it as not Christian at all! This couldn’t be further from the truth.

Column: When the West Wanted Islam to Curb Christian Extremism

Writing in The Washington Post’s opinion pages, Fareed Zakaria acknowledged the existence of an unpleasant level of intolerance in some Muslim-majority countries, but stressed such societal ills can’t be laid at the feet of a whole religion.

Russia has experienced a spiritual resurrection

A quarter century after the Communist nightmare ended, it is the East where Christianity is rising again

Chora on Patmos: Unesco World Heritage Site

The small island of Pátmos in the Dodecanese is reputed to be where St John the Theologian wrote both his Gospel and the Apocalypse. A monastery dedicated to the ‘beloved disciple’ was founded there in the late 10th century and it has been a place of pilgrimage and Greek Orthodox learning ever since. The fine monastic complex dominates the island. The old settlement of Chorá, associated with it, contains many religious and secular buildings.

Is There Really an Aramean Nation?

One of the last things Israel’s Interior Minister Gideon Saar did before resigning from the Knesset was to recognize the Israeli Christians as members of the Aramean nation.

BBC News' 'Ottomans Europe's Muslim Emperors': Putting a Positive Spin on Conquest

The series also digs into inter-Muslim disputes, between Sunni and Shia, between Turks and Arabs, that can shed some light on the endless Muslim-on-Muslim violence that plagues the Middle East to this day. And it clearly shows that persecution of Christians, genocide of Christians, abuse of Christian children and women, and so on, is nothing new.

Archpriest Nicholai Stelletsky, New Martyr of Kharkov

Stanislav Minakov

Alas, Russian society did not heed the remarkable clairvoyance and warning of Fr. Nicholai (and not only of him), and therefore underwent the onerous punishments of the twentieth century.

The kingdom of heaven

Today, we continually ask the question of radical Islam: “Why do you hate so violently? Why are you so intolerant?” Maybe, just maybe, we should have asked that question of European leaders long ago — historically speaking.

Wooden Chapels and Orthodoxy in America

Deacon Joseph Gleason

I am forever grateful to the faithful people who built that simple church for God in the early nineteenth century. They probably didn’t realize their efforts would impact people, and their devotion to Christ, for centuries to come.

The Breaking of Images

From the perspective of visual art and culture, the Reformation was one of the greatest catastrophes that ever befell Europe. Obviously, there were also cultural gains, in the form of mass literacy, and new forms of visual media, including pamphlets and cartoons. But in terms of paintings, murals, sculpture, architecture, and stained glass, the losses were irreparable.

Monotheism, Part 3: Islam

Hieromonk Job (Gumerov)

The difference between the Old Testament religion of the Law and Islam is not only that the latter emerged more than two thousand years after God gave on Mount Sinai the Ten Commandments and other precepts that governed life for the chosen people. The most important difference is that the Law of Moses has a Divine source. The founder of Islam, however, did not have a Divine revelation.

Monotheism. Part 2: Judaism

Hieromonk Job (Gumerov)

The Messiah came, but Jewish leaders, Pharisees, and Sadducees condemned him to death. But why were the Pharisees, Sadducees, and scribes offended? Why did the Pharisees and scribes, who were witnesses to the magnificent miracles performed by Jesus and knew the Scriptures better than anyone else, stubbornly refuse to recognize Christ? Finally, one more question: why did they hate Him, despite the fact that he delivered many people from terrible disease and suffering?

The Legacy of Patriarch Abraham On Authentic and Imagined Monotheism. Part 1: Christianity

Hieromonk Job (Gumerov)

During the prophetic period, biblical monotheism receives the ultimate clear, theological justification. The Lord speaks through the Prophet Isaiah: " I am the Lord, and there is none else" God is not only the only Creator of heaven and earth, but also the Lord, "he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein".

Machiavelli and Holy Emperor Nicholas II

Archpriest Alexander Shargunov

What is the practical result of Machiavelli’s teaching for the modern consciousness? A deep divide, an incurable separation between politics and morals. And, subsequently, a lethal contradiction between what they call idealism (mistakenly combined with morality), and what they call realism (mistakenly combined with politics). Thus is born an irreconcilable conflict between morals and pitiless reality.

Rejoicing in a Nation’s Saints—Without Nationalism

Nun Cornelia (Rees)

Saints retain all that is characteristic of the human condition; they know everything that is ours. They are near to God, but they are also near to us; they walked and dwelt among us.

The Lord’s Brethren

Sergei Khudiev

First of all, what does the word “brethren” mean? In the Bible it can signify various degrees of relation: blood brother, half-brother, or cousin. Some Protestant Bible scholars consider that after giving birth to Jesus, Mary had children by Joseph, and it is these children who are mentioned here.
