Remembering Metropolitan Antony Bashir on the 50th Anniversary of His Repose

“He spends all his time in the cathedral and even forgets to eat.”

Archimandrite John (Krestiankin) as the soviets saw him (1955)

Hierodeacon Theophan (Bortnikov)

Today is the tenth anniversary of the repose of Archimandrite John (Krestiankin). To commemorate him we present an unusual testimony to his zeal and Christian love—a sort of apophatic approach to the biography of a saintly man. It comes from reports written by the Pskov plenipotentiary for religious affairs A. I. Luzin, whose job it was during the atheist Communist period to watch Fr. John’s every move and report back on his “crimes”.

This day in Church history: January 20, 1918

Nations come and go. Though individuals have immortal souls, governments are not in any sense whatsoever immortal. America had a beginning point and will most certainly have an ending point some day. Contrary to the popular sentiments of many of the early American settlers, North America never was and never will be a "Promised Land" akin to what God promised Israel. America is just one among many nations in the world, a mixture of good and bad, a nation that is susceptible to the same temptations as any other nation.

Hagia Sophia: Such ecstasy can never be forgotten!

George Kseinos, Doctor-Novelist

Those who over the centuries actually saw the miracle of Haghia Sophia at first hand are innumerable. They spoke over and over again about what they had seen, trying to convey to others too something of its magic and magnificence.

On the Julian Calendar, Church Tradition, and Standing for the Faith

Pavel Kuzenkov

Christmas and New Year is a time when many Orthodox Christians who follow the Julian (old) calendar wonder why they do so; or rather, those who follow the Gregorian (new) calendar wonder why the old calendar Churches don’t want to change. Here is another thorough look at this question, from a number of angles.

Did St. Mark "Blunder"?

Fr. John Whiteford

Is it correct that St. Mark "blundered" in the writing of his Gospel? There is no reason why we should conclude that he did, and you will never find any Father of the Church making any such suggestion. However, this is what Fr. Gregory Hallam stated recently in his E-Quip lecture series, in a lecture about St. Mark's Gospel.

However, most especially it must be read by Bishops, and in particular those who are involved with theological and inter-Christian issues and with the theological and inter-Christian dialogues."—Metropolitan Hierotheos (Vlachos) of Nafpaktos and Agios Vlassios

Col. Philip Ludwell III: The Forerunner of Orthodoxy in North America

Ryan Hunter, Nicholas Chapman

When we think of the pilgrims, who came to the American continent from England to start a new life and a new country, we think of Puritans and Calvinists. But how many of us know that one of the largest landowners in the state of Virginia, a personal friend of Benjamin Franklin and George Washington, an ancestor of Robert E. Lee, was a pious Orthodox Christian?
