Many many thanks to all those who contributed to match a generous $3000 donation from an anonymous donor. The goal was attained this past weekend. It is because of people like you that the Mystagogy Resource Center can continue to offer unique material to all for free on a daily basis that I hope people find beneficial. For those who still wish to contribute, please do so, with much gratitude in return. God bless you all!

Giving up bad habits, including spiritual ones, is the main receipt of longevity by Novosibirsk resident Anna Naumova who has recently celebrated her 102nd birthday.

“You shouldn’t envy, drink or smoke,” Naumova recommends everyone who wants to achieve her life record.

According to the regional Statistics Service, there are over five thousand long-livers in the Novosibirsk Region and almost three hundred of them have stepped over their 100th birthday.
