Minsk Monastery trip to saint Elizabeth’s Nun Convent – Spiritual realms of Belarus

Hi James,

Contact the monastery and ask them they have official site. I guess you can donate as much as you like.
The manastery is amazing just like Belarus.

Minsk Monastery trip to saint Elizabeth’s Nun Convent – Spiritual realms of Belarus

Something interesting worthy to mention that impressed me is the preparation for Ice Hockey World Championship which will be held in Belarus this year from 9 – 25. In relation to that a lot of buildings were reconstructed. Minsk Airport was in construction, in metro stations were announced in both Russian and English and on many places was visible the mascot of IHWC a Belarusian Zubyr – "Зубър" 🙂

Here is the Kontaktion and Troparion from the service of Triumph of All Orthodoxy.

Troparion (Tone 2) [1]

We venerate Your most pure image, O Good One,

and ask forgiveness of our transgressions, O Christ God.

Of Your own will You were pleased to ascend the Cross in the flesh

to deliver Your creatures from bondage to the enemy.

Therefore with thanksgiving we cry aloud to You:

You have filled all with joy, O our Savior,

by coming to save the world.

Kontakion (Tone 8) [2]

No one could describe the Word of the Father;

but when He took flesh from you, O Theotokos, He accepted to be described,

and restored the fallen image to its former beauty.

We confess and proclaim our salvation in word and images.

Something I forgot to mention is the Anathemas which are recited against all Heretics and enemies of Church on that day. 

 

 

All service text with anathemas recipted is here http://aggreen.net/liturgics/triumph_orth.html

Big Church Scandal in the Bulgarian Orthodox Church the developments on how the Church basic law Establishment document is illegally broken and hope and action for truth to be restored

What is rather fun is during the anti-protest organized by Metropolitan Nikolay (with people only from the Plovdiv eparchy just like in the good old times of communism was financed by the unwilling people to go to the event). It was lied that the reason for Nikolay people to protest is because this is a protest in front of the Synod against the accepting of gay marriages (what a lie !!!). Besides that there is a many people from village called Krepost (if not mistaken the village) who were (protestants!) and came to protest in favour of the new anti people legislation (even though not orthodox christians), because they were mislead the protests are against the gays!

Metropolitan Nikolay has publicly asked priests in his eparchy to sign a document they're going to be present on the protests that should support the New Synodal "order". Those who were unwilling to cooperate of course can always be sent by their Metropolitan to a very distant village or even taken away their profession as priests so there was a lot of pressure put on those people.

Christ is Risen Eastern Orthodox Resurrection Paschal Greeting in Different Languages
Hi Stan,

I guess you cannot read the writtings on the icon as it is in cyrillic.
This is not Saint Mary and Saint Peter but Adam and Eve written in cyrillic on top of the icon.
Actually in orthodoxy it is a requirement for the depicted personalities, especially saints to have
written on the names of the saint and have the Halo. If you look closely at the picture you will notice
the two Adam and Eve are missing a Halo. The only person with a Halo in the icon is Saint John the Baptist.

Best Regards
Georgi
