Dozens Baptized in Yalta of Crimea


August 2, 2013

A group baptism for the 1,025 year anniversary of the baptism of Russia was held on a beach in the city of Yalta in Crimea of Ukraine.

It began with a Doxology in honor of the Holy Prince Vladimir which was performed by the head priest of Saint Alexander Nevsky Church, Fr. Adam, in the presence of clergymen from the surrounding area.

Then was celebrated the Mystery of Baptism, which involved people who were not baptized.

Dozens of people of all ages, from infants to seniors, in commemoration of the baptism of Rus, were baptized in the waters of the Black Sea.

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.
