This question goes out to my Orthodox frens in here.

If you meet someone who's not Orthodox or Catholic but is some kind of evangelical maybe (has no understanding of saints), and they're curious about saints, who is the first Orthodox saint you would tell them about?

С днем Входа Господня в Иерусалим! 😇

☦ "The burden of the dead, how the Russian people were reforged" Boris Mironov.

One of the most powerful books about the horrors of communism based on archival materials.

I was given this book as a gift recently, very grateful.

☦ Optina monastery ,1987
