There is only one thing to say. If you are an Orthodox Christian, you must support the thesis that Kosovo is Serbian land, full stop. If you do not, you are thrusting a knife deep into the back of your Orthodox co-religionists. Kosovo is the heartland of Orthodox Serbia, and it must not be handed over to Albanian parvenus.
God bless our crucified Serbian brothers and sisters. May their resurrection be soon!
The audio backdrop is a setting of the Veruyu (Creed), the pronunciation seems to indicate that it is sung by a Serbian choir. The slideshow is of Russian and Serbian religious scenes.
Thank you to Sasha Ressetar for passing on this link. S bogom!
A moving evocation of Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville NY. We went to the monastery for Easter services last night, and it was so beautiful that one could not know if one was on earth or in the forecourts of Paradise. There were some interesting changes. Some English was used in the service, and before the liturgy proper began, one of the seminarians was reading the Acts of the Apostles in Spanish. Jordanville is the beating heart of our Russian Orthodox Church here in America, and I would say to everyone to go there at least once… one knows that one is on holy ground sanctified by the podvigi of many elders and spiritual fathers.
Thank you, Fr George, for your kind and loving advice to me. I bow before you in appreciation and gratitude. Pray for this sinner.
KHRISTOS VOSKRESE!
VOISTINNU VOSKRESE!
The music is a setting of the Great Doxology by Pavel Chesnokov. The ensemble was not identified, I am sorry.
This video shows the healthiness of many parishes in the OCA. The rot emanating from SVS/Syosset does not permeate the whole, please God. This why I pray daily for the institutional unity of the Russian Orthodox Church in the USA and Canada under the aegis of Moscow. May that day come soon!
