I was recently commissioned to translate some profound and inspiring works by our Righteous Father Alexei Mechev, which I put together in a booklet. Unfortunately, after printing 500 copies, circumstances changed and the one who commissioned the work has been hospitalized and called off the purchase. Since I am at an unforeseen personal loss with this, I wanted to make these never before translated texts available to my followers for only $11.95 a copy, which includes shipping and handling. I would like to sell all of these as quick as possible, and it would be great reading material for the lenten season. As an added incentive, for the first 50 people who order, I will also offer a never before published text by Fr. John Romanides titled "The Canon and the Inspiration of the Holy Scripture" free of charge.

Ecumenical Patriarch At Valaam Monastery


Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew made a pilgrimage today to Valaam Monastery and was received by the abbot of the monastery, Bishop Pankraty Zherdev. He first visited the Skete of St. Nicholas then moved on to the Skete of the Prophet Elias. At Prophet Elias the Patriarch requested that all sing the apolytikion to the Prophet as he lit the candle. He then went on to visit the Hermitage of the Virgin of Smolensk, where he was received by Fr. Seraphim, who was ordained by the Ecumenical Patriarch 20 years ago and speaks seven languages. Bishop Pankraty hosted a luncheon for the Patriarch at a creek nearby Valaam.
