В праздник Святых Отцов Первого Вселенского Собора (12 июня) на южном курортном берегу штата Виктория, куда горбатые киты приплывают для брачных игр и для выхаживания своих детёнышей, где зимой ветер дует прямо с Антарктики, и температура держится ниже 10 градусов, собрались православные христиане со всего штата Виктория. Приход в Варрнамбуле не имеет постоянного священника. Литургия совершается только четыре раза в году. Во все другие воскресные дни служится Обедница. Несмотря на все эти обстоятельства, местные православные люди продолжают свидетельствовать о том, что Свеча православия не угасает и в этом отдалённом уголке зеленого континента.Continue Reading

В ночь на 1 мая в Покровском Кафедральном соборе православные Мельбурна вместе встретили и отпраздновали Пасху. В канун праздника Светлого Христова Воскресения мало кто остается спать дома.
В самый главный праздник верующие целыми семьями приходят на праздничную службу в церковь. Полунощная служба началась около 12 ночи, но люди пришли пораньше. Так как с 8 часов шли чтения «Деяния Святых Апостолов», когда любой человек может подойти и прочитать главу на том языке, который является для него родным. В то же время настоятель Покровского собора в Мельбурне отец Николай (Карыпов) проводил освящение пасхальных яств.Continue Reading
