The renowned TV anchor who once won the Miss Universe title believes that only the Orthodox faith has helped her in life and brought her consolation.
"When I was young, I tried various religious trends. But I managed to find consolation and real spiritual help only in Orthodoxy," Oxana Fyodorova was quoted as saying by the Radonezh website.
However, her way to the Orthodox Church was not easy. According to her, she "always made mistakes, but the heart was searching for the Truth," which by intuition she "felt in Orthodoxy."
Oxana is convinced that Russians are strong with their spirituality and faith. "If you take it from them, everything will fall down," she said.
"When a person is with God, he has nothing to be afraid of. He is protected by the Love. And we don't have another road, only this one," Oxana said urging believers to be ready for trials and have a spiritual power in order not to abandon the chosen way.
