On This Day: Peter I Took the Imperial Title. Russia Became an Empire

On September 10 (O.S. August 30 ), 1721 Russia and Sweden concluded the Treaty of Nystad ending the Northern war that had lasted for 21 years.

History Through New Eyes

Seraphim Hamilton

It is time that we see the world through new eyes. Neither God nor His people have sat on the sidelines of history. They both are at the center of history, the goal of which is the birth of Jesus Christ and the divinization of all mankind.

Dmitri of Uglich and the Three False Dmitris: One of the Most Bizarre Episodes in Russian History

Dmitri ‘rose from the dead’ one last time in the person of False Dmitri III. This Dmitri gained the support of the Cossacks in the east, and was proclaimed Tsar in 1612. However, only a few weeks into his ‘reign,’ False Dmitri III was captured, sent to Moscow, and executed. This was the end of the parade of frauds claiming to be the poor young (and dead) heir of Ivan the Terrible, and Dmitri of Uglich was finally able to rest in peace.

Who is the True Inheritor of the Apostle Thomas?

The correspondence of two Indians: an Orthodox and a non-Chalcedonian

Polycarp (Dr. Rohan Nehamaiyah)

In early 2015, Pravoslavie.ru posted in both Russian and English an article by Clement Nehamaiyah on his path to the Orthodox Church. To our pleasant surprise, we learned that the article was read in India and prompted an Indian non-Chalcedonian Christian to write a letter to Clement in which he attempts to prove that the “Indian Orthodox Church” is the true Church of Christ as it was brought to India by the Apostle Thomas. We asked Clement to answer this very interesting letter, and his brother Polycarp, who became Orthodox together with his brother, responded.

Against the Myth of the Byzantine Gay Marriage Rite

Fr. Patrick Viscuso

Writing the history of a religious institution involves understanding concepts and language within their historical and cultural context. Otherwise, the risk is taken that history will be rewritten to suit current preoccupations. Boswell's attempt to prove that the Byzantines regarded adelphopoiesis as a form of marriage fails because his research presents historical facts and events out of context.

In Defense of the Dionysian Authorship

Rev. John Parker, Fr. Dumitru Staniloae

In two classic texts, the Rev. John Parker lays out arguments in favor of the authentic Dionysian authorship of the Dionysian corpus, asking whether the author was influenced by the Alexandrian School and Neoplatonism, or rather, was it vice versa?

History of St. Gregory and the Conversion of Armenia, by Agathangelos

Central to this effort is Agathangelos' description of Gregory's vision of the burial place of the martyrs. Gregory is shown a golden base where the cathedral at Vagharshapat (later Etchmiadzin) is to be built. Thus Agathangelos establishes a divine foundation for the cathedral and for the church leaders who will reside there so again, he makes a case for the "rightness" of the hierarchs and the hierarchical structure of the Church.

Hieromartyr Peter, Metropolitan Of Krutitsa

The thought flashed through his mind: "He'll tear me to pieces." But he did not have the strength to run away. And where could he run? But the bear came up to him, sniffed him and peacefully lay down at his feet. Warmth wafted out of his huge bear's hide. Then he turned over with his belly towards the metropolitan, stretched out his whole length and began to snore sweetly.

The Quiet Courage of Patriarch Tikhon

Georgiy Velikanov

Was the Prophet Jonah Really Swallowed by a Whale?

John Sanidopoulos

Many Christians are inclined to interpret the story of Jonah in the Old Testament as an allegory that was never meant to be understood as actual history. However, allegories or parables in the Bible are always either said to be so, or made evident in the context. The Book of Jonah, however, is written as a historical tale with a historical prophet mentioned in II Kings 14:25 and confirmed to have existed by Jesus Christ in Matthew 12:40-41. Christ here compares the experience of Jonah to His own approaching death and resurrection.
