Tags: St Innokenty of Irkutsk, Strathfield
Saint Innokenty lived during the reign of Tsar Peter I and became the first bishop of the Diocese of Irkutsk. He taught reading and writing to the local Buryat children, painted icons, built chapels and churches, prayed and preached.
As Priest Alexander Abiduev of Holy Trinity Church in Ulan-Ude, Russia, explained, “After a fire in the church of Voznesensky Monastery, where he was buried, though the church was burned to the ground, his relics were unharmed and discovered to be incorrupt. When he was to be re-interred, it was found that even his vestments survived. The local believers began to notice miraculous healings and miracles occurring from his relics. When people saw this, they started to pray to the saint, and many of their pleas were answered. With time, this led to the decision to canonize him and count him among the saints.” (more…)

Most Reverend fellow archpastors, most honorable fathers, brothers and sisters!
With profoundly heartfelt spiritual joy I greet all the faithful children of the Russian Church Abroad, spread all over the world like kernels of God’s wheat, with the great and salutary Feast of Christ’s Nativity! May the Lord send all of us this joy which saves the world. This gladness is the fruit of the struggle of faith, and stems from the triumph of the Incarnation, from God becoming man, from hearing the celestial doxology from the heavens above the city of Bethlehem.

Преосвященные собратья-архипастыри, всечестные отцы, братья и сестры!
С чувством глубокой духовной радости приветствую верных чад Русской Зарубежной Церкви и всех русских православных верующих, рассеянных, как Божия пшеница, по всему миру, с великим и мироспасительным праздником Рождества Христова! Да пошлет всем нам Господь эту спасающую мир радость. И подвиг веры, и плод ее должен быть этой радостью, от торжества Боговоплощения и вочеловечения, от слышания небесного славословия и неземного мира, воспетого над градом Вифлеемским.
В дни рождественских святок особенно чувствуется любовь Божия к нам, грешным, ибо несмотря на то, что человечество отвернулось от своего Создателя, Творец стал тварью, Всемогущий Бог сошел с небес и стал одним из нас, родившись беспомощным младенцем в убогой пещере, куда загоняли скот в плохую погоду. Бог становится человеком ради того, чтобы совершилась таинственная встреча между Ним и нами, чтобы разрушить преграду между Небом и землею, воздвигнутую человеческим грехом. Встреча эта должна происходить в нашей внутренней жизни и во взаимоотношениях с образом Божиим, отражающимся в наших ближних. (more…)
