Youth Conference at Mountainview
The
Russian Orthodox Youth Conference took place at Mountainview February
12-15, 2016. Not only were there special guest speakers from South
America and Russia, but the Myrrh-Streaming Icon of St. Nicholas blessed
the conference. During a round table question and answer session
with diocesan and guest clergy, a question was posed: "why do we pray to
icons..." - the answer to the question was most resoundingly answered
not by words, but by the miracle of St. Nicholas showing all that could
see that the lectern-vestment, upon which the icon lay, was saturated
in Myrrh. Along with spiritual discussions, the youth were able to
participate in other activities such as skiing. On Monday, Feburary 15,
the feast of the Meeting of our Lord was celebrated with the service of
the Divine Liturgy led by Archbishop Andronik along with our dear
guests from the Greek Orthodox Church, Metropolitan Demetrius and
clergy. See photos here.
