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 in the United States (orders outside the US, please use a pay button towards the bottom of this page and include $5 for a total of $16.95). 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.

Resurrection Divine Liturgy in the Stable which Saint John the Russian Lived for 19 Years in Prokopi of Cappadocia


On the Sunday of Thomas, 1 May 2022, a Resurrection Divine Liturgy took place in the stable Saint John the Russian lived in for 19 years in Prokopi of Cappadocia.

Pilgrims from Greece, Russia, Ukraine, Georgia and Turkey gathered together for worship.

At this location, Saint John the Russian was made to live after he was taken into slavery by the Turkish Aga, and he took care of the animals that he lived with in the same stable. Even after the Turkish Aga set him free, Saint John continued to live in this stable until the day he reposed in the Lord. In all, he was here for 19 years.

The spot where he would sleep, today is occupied by the Holy Altar.
