Ukrainian Schismatic Priest starts the attack against Orthodox Christians

Ukrainian Schismatic Nationalist Priest: started an violent seizure of the Orthodox Church in Ternopil's Diocese.
The video clearly shows “Father” Ivan Lesik, known for political racketeering, pushing and hitting women parishioners of the canonical Holy Transfiguration Church in the village of Gnezdichno in the Ternopil Province, and the same violence being used by the other schismatics and the Right Sector nationalists. The video also shows police standing idly by, not intervening.

Maiden Voyage: The White Ship is Blessed by Monks!

HRM is where it all started nearly 10 years ago in the Mojave Desert. We returned to them, now in their beautiful new home in lush St. Nanzianz, Wisconsin.

We dubbed our new-to-us travel trailer the White Ship. For its maiden voyage, we traveled to Holy Resurrection Romanian Catholic Monastery the week of the feast of the Great Prophet Elijah (Elias), which is traditionally associated with a blessing of transportation (bicycles, motorcycles, automobiles, etc) in honor of Elijah's ascension to heaven in a chariot (2 Kings 2:1-18).

The skies were overcast and cool following days of refreshing rains. The White Ship and its tow vehicle were tucked into a tree-laden corner overlooking a large pond—a view punctuated by a cross and a steeple. It was there that they were blessed at the end of the Sunday Divine Liturgy.
