Today's Movie of the Month is a Russian animation of a story from the desert fathers about a man who feels his own cross is too heavy to bear, and he begs God to let him choose another. The man's Guardian Angel leads him to a room full of crosses, and he envisions his life bearing each of several. Frightened by these visions of potential futures, he chooses one cross, and God reveals something salvific.

The cartoon is in Russian but with English voice overs and English captions available. Some of the battle scenes may be scary for our younger and more sensitive viewers. And as ever, any advertising is not chosen by us.

The life of St. John of Prislop is simple, yet moving. We learned about him when we decided to publish Triangle of Forgiveness, and commissioned an icon to include in the book and to sell bundled together with it.

This article has photos of the saint's cave, which is featured in the book, and facts about his glorification.

How good is our God! He can take something that looks to the world like a man being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and instead use it as a way to teach generations, through the life and intercessions of the saint, about the importance of prayer and forgiveness!

Holy Saint John of Prislop, pray to God for us!

On the Orthodox Church calendar, we celebrate saints on each day of the year. But we also celebrate specific icons of the Theotokos, marveling at how the Mother of God loves us and sends us instruction and consolation.

One such celebration is the Kiev Caves icon of the Dormition of the Mother of God, which is celebrated twice yearly, once in May and again im August. The story of this icon is long but beautiful, and can be read at the link below.

The image of the Kiev Caves Dormition Icon is one of the most important for the Orthodox world; for here we see our Guide, to whom daily prayers warm the heart and bring forth good fruits.

Today's Movie of the Month comes from a recent conference on Sacred Arts, and in it Jonathan Pageau explains icons, starting with the initial injunction against graven images and how Christ's Resurrection changed everthing.

It is entirely in English, and we neither created nor endorse any ads.
