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.

The Skull of the Newly-Canonized Saint Daniel of Katounakia


On September 7, 2020 the Orthodox Church celebrated the first feast of Saint Daniel of Katounakia after his official canonization by the Ecumenical Patriarchate in March. This photograph was taken by Monk Philaretos following his official canonization on March 12th at Katounakia of the Holy Mountain. The writing on the skull says:

κρᾶς Ἀσίας. Ἔθανεν
