Three Holy Hierarchs

Joyous feast! С праздником! I must confess to find this day somewhat silly in its beginnings, but it is a wonderful feast nonetheless! More on its origins can be found here.

Quote of the Day: St. Basil the Great

If you see your neighbor sinning, take care not to dwell exclusively on his faults. Try to think of the many good things he has done and continues to do. Many times when we do this, we come to the conclusion that our neighbor is a far better person than we are.

Quote of the Day: St. Basil the Great

He who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.

Quote of the Day: St. Basil the Great

The bread which you use is the bread of the hungry; the garment hanging in your wardrobe is the garment of him who is naked; the shoes you do not wear are the shoes of the one who is barefoot; the acts of charity that you do not perform are so many injustices that you commit.

Quote of the Day: St. Basil the Great

Not the power to remember, but its very opposite, the power to forget, is a necessary condition for our existence.

Quote of the Day: St. Basil the Great

"By fasting it is possible both to be delivered from future evils and to enjoy the good things to come. We fell into disease through sin; let us receive healing through repentance, which is not fruitful without fasting."
