Miracles in Russia

I am not promoting Orthodoxy. Just a video to think about.

Discover the inspiring true story of Yevovgeny Rodion, the 19-year-old Russian Orthodox soldier martyred in the First Chechen War for refusing to remove his cross and deny Christ. Beheaded on his birthday after brutal torture, he chose eternal life over compromise. Miracles continue at his grave: healings, myrrh-streaming icons, reconciliation of enemies. A modern warrior-saint whose faith echoes the early Church martyrs.

For American and European Christians exploring Orthodox Christianity, this powerful video essay explores themes of unwavering devotion, the power of the Cross, and standing firm in persecution. Perfect for those seeking deeper faith inspiration in today's world.

GOD seems to love the Orthodox as well as Catholics. It's seen all over, in many ways.

Yevgeny Rodionov: The Modern Orthodox Martyr Who Chose Death Over Denying Christ

This young man and his companions died a horrible death. Tortured for more than 3 months. His miracles are beautiful and amazing. But the part that got me the most when you think about everything is that he and his father were both carpenters. That's what touched me the most. He deserves to be a Saint. And I can see why miracles are taking place with Icons and his grave.

Just few years earlier Jihadists in Bosnia were killing captured Croat soldiers for refusing to take off their holy Rosaries and renounce Christ. Now these Jihadists have flooded Europe. Yevgeny and such examples help to prepare us to lift up our own cross one day.

In a country like Lebanon, where I was born, the grace of presence of the Orthodox and their Churches is palpable to a Catholic. A country at the cross roads of civilization while awaiting full communion.

A wonderful country you were born in. Three of my favorite Saints, Saint Sharbel, Saint Hardini, Saint Rafqa. I hope you were able to get some Holy Oil and Blessed earth from their graves.
I can't wait till Russia converts. And Putin will live long enough for his conversion. He was the one to restore their faith to the people of Russia.

Lebanon was the launching pad of the evangelization of Europe. St. Paul, Peter, and even Mary Magdalene sojourned through her. The extensive mountain range in Lebanon begins at Mount Hermon, scholarly proposed to be the site of the Transfiguration of our Lord.
