Eminent Fellow Hierarchs,

Dear Fathers, Brothers, Sisters and Children in the Lord!

The struggle of faith and its fruits in our days must be that joy which comes from hearing the heavenly doxology and the feast of the Incarnation of God. (more…)

На протяжении Службы многие прихожане исповедовались Владыке. (more…)
