Honoring Those Who Have Passed


May 31, 2012
Sean Scully

Nonna and Vsevolog Blinoff have traveled from San Francisco to Calistoga’s Pioneer Cemetery every year for decades to clean the graves of Ivan Dementy (1871-1941) and his wife Anna Dementy (1879-1953), even though the couples never met. Mrs. Blinoff said she discovered the overgrown graves many years ago and recognized them as fellow Russian Orthodox Church members by the distinctive crosses on the headstones. She maintains the graves as an act of devotion to her coreligionists. The couple spent Monday’s Memorial Day scraping moss and lichen from the tombs.

Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
