SHARING ON PASCHA,[Orthodox Christian "Easter"], 2022: FACINATING!:

(PLEASE IGNORE & CLICK OFF ANY DISGUSTING IRRELEVANT ADVERTS!)


And a reminder: These fascinating narrations of Kievan and Ukrainian and interrelated Byzantine/Early Russian history, etc, is not the only version of all of that very old and very complicated history. So, be advised that all that this astute narrator says, may have some other historians,  who may give a different slant on some points about which she describes.

ROCOR: Pascha 2022 at St. Michael's Church in Odessa, WHILE THE CITY WAS UNDER ENEMY BOMBARDMENT & WITH AIR-RAID SIRENS


Author: Metropolitan Agafangel. Publication date:April 24, 2022. Category: ROCOR .


In 2022, due to the war, Pascha was celebrated in Ukraine under a curfew, when it was impossible to move around the city at night from 23:00 to 05:00. Our parishioners came to the temple before the curfew and left after it ended - there were about 40 people in total.


The Paschal service, which was broadcast online, was led by Metropolitan Agafangel, co-served by Archpriest Vitaly and Priest Dionysius, aided by  Protodeacon Michael. Due to the fact that the procession around the temple was impossible, it was made from the altar through the temple to the vestibule and back. During the service in the city, the air raid siren turned on and explosions and shots were heard.


In general, everything went on Pascha joyfully, and after the end of the curfew, the residents of the city came to pray and have blessed the breaking of the fast, their Paschal food on the occasion of the end of Great Lent.


CHRIST IS RISEN!

ONE brief glimpse into what makes Putin's "Orthodox " Russian Federation work- How Putin uses HIS CAPTIVE Orthodox Church (-the non-canonical.-bogus "Moscow Patriarchy"-founded by Joseph Stalin in 1943), to boost his power:

Blaming the ‘decadent West’ for its liberality (i.e. its human freedoms!)  and for its (exaggerated) ‘immorality’, while righteous staunch “CHRISTIAN”  Vlad Putin with his KGB co-worker, Holy Patriarch Kyrill can do ANYTHING, which THEY CLAIM, THAT: “GOD BLESSES” !, etc… such as Putin’s current HITLER-LIKE mass invasion and mass murdering in Ukraine, his invading Georgia, his mass murdering of many thousands of Arab people (many of whom were Orthodox Christians), and bombing, deliberately,  even hospitals, his carpet bombing slaughtering in Syria, etc., etc, etc. plus Putin’s various  Russian critics who just seem to ‘die naturally’ or who mysteriously  ’disappear’ or who were publically murdered by ‘unknown assailants’.

ROCOutside of Russia strives to help as many people in need as possible. 


Despite the war in Ukraine and the numerous difficulties associated with it, with the blessing of the Head of ROCOR, Metropolitan Agafangel (Pashkovsky), humanitarian aid continues to be distributed in the parishes of the church. These are, first of all, food, medicines and many other things that people especially need today.


According to the secretary of the ROCOR Odessa diocese, Mother Rafaila, the church has been providing various assistance to those in need for many years. “We continue this work today. We help a lot of people. This is one of our charitable activities.


For example, the ROCOR church was bombed in Malin. There is no roof. The glasses are all broken. Collecting donations for restoration work.


In Mariupol, a bomb hit the house of our parishioner. There was a house church of ROCOR. They were left without a home. We also try to help them.


The needy parishioners always receive help from us. We are collecting donations and people are responding. We hope that there will be even more such helpers, since times are very difficult today and more and more people need help,” said mother.


She thanked God for the people who are ready to hear requests for help and help. “Some help less, some more. There are such people. Thank God for everything".
