St. Basil of Vostok
Christ is risen! Joyous feast! Today is the feast of one of North America's missionary saints from the Russian Empire, the Hieromartyr Basil (Martysz), who served in Alaska, the northeastern United States, and western Canada. After his 
return to Eastern Europe, St. Basil served in the Russian Orthodox Church and then, following the collapse of the Russian Empire, in the young Polish Orthodox Church. The Saint was eventually martyred by thieves during World War II and glorified by he Church of Poland in 2003. More on his life can be found here. May his blessing and prayers be with us all!

Polish President Meets with Polish Orthodox Metropolitan
President Bronislaw Komorowski of Poland has met with Metropolitan Sawa (Hrycuniak) of Warsaw and other clergy of the Polish Orthodox Church. During the meeting President Komorowski said there must be room in Poland for tolerance and mutual respect between Poles and the country's ethnic and religious minorities.
In the distant past Poland (then the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth) was a bastion of religious tolerance and political freedom (for the time) in Europe, but following the restoration of Polish independence in the early 1900s the state at times fiercely persecuted its non-Polish and non-Roman Catholic minorities.
