You know you've screwed up when the Mother of God scolds you!
And yells at you while healing you
If you have saints that have 'of Place' after their name, you can make them sound like some dangerous Wild West characters if you use Place Name format, for example Damascus John.
Hmmm... Antioch Ignatius. Calcutta Teresa. Lima Rose.
Yes! Thank you so much for this! Comming to Orthodoxy, St. John of Damascus was a great insipration and spiritual father to me.
Speaking of "of Places" saints, one Western saint might be worthwhile to make a video on. The "Mary of Ireland" St. Bridget of Kildare
Ah, that reminds me of my church... after we say "YEEE-HAWWW!" and toss our hats into the air. It was pretty dang-tootin' good.
@@miesrah12 through he's letters to the Roman emperor about icons I have learnt different ways to defend icons.
@@miesrah12 St Bridget is an Orthodox saint as is St Patrick
I know him from his letter debunking Islam. He is so educated and able to point out all the flaws in the text.
Yes!!! I find it so hard to read the fathers but that letter still had a bit of humour, hundreds of years later and translated
@@eho6380 you complained about people mocking your religion , yet here you mock our Saints. Have you even read St John of Damascus : The heresy of the Ishmaelites?
@@eho6380 go right ahead debunk it
@@eho6380 Neither is every islamic apologetics arguments to be honest, because literraly every islami polemics is based on the missuderstandings of essence and persons
@@eho6380 And "grumpy old man with a narrow point of view" isn't that more of a muhammad things , than St John of Damascus. One is a philosopher and the other is someone who can't even get the Trinity right(nvm that's Allah)
I’m surprised you haven’t covered everyone’s favorite early Church Father, John Chrysostom, yet.
>everyone's favorite
>EVERYONE'S favorite
@@proletarianwoes5568 Yes. Everyone's!
Ah, John Chrysostom, the saint that called the Christians to massacre Jews.
@@eho6380 as if Muhammad didn’t call for the killing of Non-Muslims??
And your book even calls Jews Christians and Idolators as the worst of creatures.
@@eho6380 Just to be clear, they're a cursed people since 70 A.D.
Im proud that im from damascus ✌🏻🇸🇾☦️✝️❤️🌠
Such an honor!!!
Holy cow... never though such a saint will exist to have so much patience and humility.
The more you learn about people like him, the more you want to be a saint.
It is because of this video that I came to love St. John Damascene, and took him as my patron saint when I got baptized
Your channel is such a blessing thank you for sharing.
Glory to Jesus Christ!
I'm a Catholic, and by the grace of God (or the UA-cam algorithm) I found your channel. I fell away from the faith for many years, only (again, by the grace of God) to painstakingly realize the error of my ways and accept it once again, so I'd never leave the Catholic Church, even with all the craziness and scandal that currently engulfs it. However, if I had been born in any Christian tradition, I would choose Orthodoxy and specifically Serbian Orthodoxy, as I have the most experience with this variant through an Orthodox friend of mine. Thank you for your beautifully illustrated and well-made videos!
Saint Mary = #1 Mom
I mean, her stitching up St. John and being like: "HOLD! STILL!" and "Jesus was no better..." or all angry-mom-pose scolding the elder...
I'd love to see you do a video on Saint Herman of Alaska at some point, he's one of my favorite Orthodox Saints :)
Will definitely do a video on him, I've got an icon of him in my icon corner :-)
I know little about Saints, but if I have to learn about them, this channel is my favorite place to do so.
So glad to know Karen! I plan to do many saints! :-)
yeah but id recommend trisagion films for further knowledge of the saints lives
Love that Saracen crescent blessing! 😆 Wonderful video as usual!
Wynona Fudd Made me giggle too! 😄
It is worth noting that many of the hymns he composed made their way into the non-Chalcedonian Churches of Egypt and Syria
Interesting to know :-)
He also ended up being venerated by the non-Chalcedonian Ethiopians
@@-daniel7791 indeed. The Ethiopians have a lot of strange canonizations
another wonderful and insightful video.
thank you for shedding light on more saints.
Honestly I love all the side illustrations. Some of them make me laugh way to hard. Like the Video on my patron Saint Spyridon, the little blurbs for the Nicea I Council.
Hah glad you liked it so much, Dallas! :-) Hope to make much more!
The icon of the Virgin of the Three Hands was presented by St. John's monastery to the archbishop of Serbia, Sava. When Serbia was invaded by the Turks, they sent the icon to Mount Athos on a donkey. The donkey stopped on the Serbian monastery there.
When the Serbian monks can't decide who their (I guess) abbot should be, Our Lady decided she's the one for the job. So now, an icon of the Holy Mother of God with three hands is the abbess of one of the monasteries of Mount Athos.
There, I spoiled the plot of a potential Bible Illustrated video. You're welcome.
(So I guess there is one exception to the "no women allowed in Mount Athos" rule, huh)
Awww, now I don't get to make it :-(
(Actually, it's "No women *other than the Theodokos* allowed on Mount Athos, or else _she_ gets angry. And you won't like when _she_ gets angry")
I really value this channel.
Јако лепо, кратко и сажето, и корисно! За мало више од осам минута сам се одморио. Поздрав!
I say that number 7, very subtle additions, well done 👏👏👏
He is also venerated in Catholic Churches☦❤
Yup!
I hope at some point you do St. Patrick of Ireland.
Interestingly based on evidence Christianity probably existed in Ireland far before St. Patrick, it was a long process. I pray Ireland repeals its abortion madness....
@@seronymus I'm with you. Legalized abortion is a great tragedy in our time.
@Jamestown it aches my heart so because I'm part Celtic and Orthodox and a fan of early medieval history, and all this together means I LOVE Ireland and the British Isles in general for hosting a golden age of hundreds of saints for nearly a thousand years (although most was ~500 - 800s AD). May all the saints pray fervently for their people who contributed so much to the world.... I have weeped for the state of Europe in general honestly. Lord have mercy . At least all the innocent babies are saved with Christ now.
@Skim Milk 2 Saint Patrick died well before the Great Schism.
@Skim Milk 2 What are you talking about? All I said was that Saint Patrick died before the Great Schism, so as a result the Catholic and Orthodox Churches both venerate him as a Saint.
Lol the spaztikas. Nice touch
5:17
That Fatima vision tho
.... Fatima!
I'm sorry I missed this video a bit late because of family, but thank you again for another wondrous video. St. John of Damascus is one of my favorites, may he pray for us all and his native Syria!
If possible, I would like to remind you about doing an episode on finding a proper spouse as an Orthodox Christian, especially in our depraved modern age of the internet.
Also random question: It turns out the Chinese scientist who tested genetic editing on two female fetuses was real, he was detained though and the girls were born healthy. Should we be anxious about the future now? That and I read an article too about government trying to make robots that can think like insects consciously.... I am scared of the times coming :(
I don't think I can make a proper video on finding a spouse, as I'm single myself, but I found this video VERY illuminating and giving some sound advice:
ua-cam.com/video/eMoBELOiGMk/v-deo.html
Also, big suggestion for you: immediately unsubscribe from any news outlets. Like, right now. They're causing you tons of distress and anxiety, and for no good reason. This would include anything that would expose you to 'news' by proxy (meme groups, for example). Personally, I don't care much for whoever experiments with what as I can't influence it in any way. Just stop watching the news, brother.
@@BibleIllustrated I just recently withdrew from Twitter and Facebook b/c Twitter is distressing (may as well not worry; God has it under control) and Facebook is mostly silly talk about nonessential subjects, like recipes and people bragging about whatever. (But I did yesterday get back on Facebook just to follow an Orthodox priest.)
This channel is amazing.
Keep up the great content!
I love This Channel
I enjoyed your video about St John of Damascus.
Don't mess with mama Mary.
Precisely :-)
please a video on st. seraphim of sarov and/or st. john of shanghai ! ❤️
St. Seraphim will be the next Reliquary episode :-)
Holy are thou o great saint and doctor. You whose blessing given by the Most Holy Theotokos have defended the Holy Icons. Thou who composed hymns in honor of God. O great saint pls pray for me
Amen
So, I recently had to write a piece for children on St. Haralambos (His Feastday is in February).
What a story! How would you tell the story of a 113 year old courageous Saint and the miracle in WWII when St. Haralambos saved a town from Nazi’s destruction? Could you tell both stories?
Sure will! :-) Well, eventually.
I didn't expect someone non Greek to know it
If you go to the church in Filiatra the marble tile in front of the saint's icon, is still cracked from the salute that the german commander did with his foot
Vasileios Morossidis Surprise!Its ok, a lot of Greeks don’t know about the miracles of Celtic Saints in Scotland either.
St. Mina is another favorite WWII miracle in Egypt fighting the Nazi’s
www.johnsanidopoulos.com/2010/11/miracle-of-saint-menas-in-el-alamein-in.html?m=1
And the miracle in Greece when the Virgin Mary appears and stops the Nazi tanks in Greece www.johnsanidopoulos.com/2011/09/miracle-of-panagia-in-orchomenos-on.html
Veoma je zanimljivo videti srbe zainteresovane u religiju. Ja sam iz Pančeva i ovde nikoga nije briga. Niko ne ide u crkvu i ne posti. Inače iz kog si grada?
Can you do one on Saint Joseph the Spouse of Mary and father of Christ.
I personally liked Rule 7.... LOL! As always, wonderfully done video; thank you for making it!
The Fatima children did not ask for the Virgin to come ti them.
My Church is Named after him now.
Did he speak or write in Arabic at all? I’m assuming he did at some point, right? Interesting to note that he was of ethnic Syriac, rather than Greco-Byzantine, descent despite his Chalcedonian theology.
I assumed he did. :-)
Well he could read the Quran in the original and make arguments and debates against the muslims
Can you do a video on St Nicholas?
That saint is so cool
Can you please make a video about the good and bad sides of Islam from the point of view of a Christian (I'd love to hear your opinion).
I'll make a video on it and post it on my other channel, Bible Illustrated Hands, in about two weeks :-)
Read Saint John of Damascus writings on it
And thank you to the Muslims who donated the funds to restore the crumbling Church of the Holy Nativity in Bethlehem!
Is this the same as St. John Damascene?
Yup!
@@BibleIllustrated why is it that he is known as Damascene and of Damascus? Is it purely just linguistically?
@@jackharwood3868 yup, "Damascene" literally means "of Damascus"
why there is no english subtitle ?
Why are you so amazing
2:28 You re a mean one, Mr. Leo
Bro subtitle please?
Happy end!
Yup! Something you don't have guaranteed in the lives of the saints :-)
@@BibleIllustrated So true.
What do you think about having to prove God’s existence (like atheists want)? Apart from historical evidence for the bible there isn’t too much cold hard evidence. I don’t see this as much of a problem but atheists sure do. What do you think Bojan?
Will answer on Bible Illustrated hands :-)
Answered it here: ua-cam.com/video/88c-krwY0vU/v-deo.html
Wow! I cannot believe a Christian Byzantine Emperor could be worse than a Muslim Caliph.
Oh, indeed he can. The caliph was a rather benevolent ruler. :-)
@Dylan Chouinard Oh well, after being conquered by them.
@@BibleIllustratedThen why hate Islam?
I will never get sheets dry in this wet weather I'm taking the clothes off the washing line
Yes.
Saint John created the orthodox music theory foundation
2:41 "that's racist you can't say that"
You could 1300 years ago.
Q/A: Can the Devil, assuming he has free will in the first place, ever join God again? It can sometimes be so difficult for people on Earth to join God so shouldn't God's existence be even more obvious to demons?
I will make a separate video on this here, but in the meantime I answered it here: ua-cam.com/video/_az7uuY6Wj8/v-deo.html
Some of those monks were kinda jerks
haha the swastikas and n-word on the letter
5:21 - 7. Indeed! No one should desire special private revelations. I am laughing that you picked Our Lady of Fatima as the illustration for that, and set a big NO against it. I'm not a devotee of Fatima, myself, precisely because of how crazy some of the Fatimites are. Still, I can't join in your "no". This recent schism is another evidence that Russia needs to humble herself.
@@RobertTaylor87 Indeed! The Church will break down the gates of Hell and conquer Death along with Our Divine Head, who has conquered it already!
The only ones I see promoting disunity here are the Russian Church. She is willing to refuse to recognise bishops and priests who, for decades were simply not under her authority, but in all other things kept the Faith. As a Catholic, I do not understand the point of such a schism. I understand the point of the Great Schism - you consider us heretics. I understand that. I also understand that churches have schisms over liturgics, as in the Old Calendarists and the Starovery (and the SSPX in the Catholic Church). But the Kiev Patriarchate and the Autonomous Church were not heretics, as I understand, and weren't changing the liturgy. They simply refused to be under the yoke of the ROC. I don't get why the ROC must have jurisdiction over Ukraine.
@@badgerlordpatrick6493 They are schismatics, and you know that schism is a sin too.
@@MrDavicovic What I find strange is that it's almost always the Traditionalists and dissenters from the new teaching or practise who make the schism.
First it was the Church of the East.
Then the Miaphysites.
Then the Eastern Orthodox.
Then the Old Catholics.
Then various Traditionalist and Sedevacantist sects.
We don't schism from them. They schism from us. And then gradually some of them come back.
(Protestants are exceptions to this because they proclaimed a new heresy: sola scriptura.)
@@badgerlordpatrick6493 So you are in an Orthodox video and you are calling us schismatics? Lol
Robert Taylor Monotheism had gone to far, and showed weakness of organized system like Churches. Ortohodxy especially with their ‘privileged’ view they have upon themselves - we are the only true Church etc. That last Ukranian scenario is a reminder how far Orthodoxy is from any ‘universality’, its just a bridge that connects nationalism & tribalism. Serbian & Russian Chruch exists in lowest form, being a comfort zone for a lot of idiotic nationalists with Bishops on their syde. Russian Holy Synod is full of KGB agents. Its kinda frustrating, but there is always a way to stay outside of that organized structure that is falling apart. What sometimes was promosing insitution, today is open door for every superstition & stupidity. One can only have respect for institution itself, in terms how it survived 2000yrs, but being a part of that today its a pretty harmful thing for individuals.

Nice fairytale 🧚♀️🌸🌼
So tell me what do you believe in?.
I didn't see any fairy.
Says someone with a naked pop singer on her icon. Dirty Stesia.
Mmm sorry but St John and everyone in this video is historical. I don't know what you mean here.
I believe in fairies too, not sure whats the trouble? Stories like this are here to encourage us and show us diffrent way of approaching this thing called life. In this case, for example, that miracle with cut hand is hardly historically accurate. Even if we think of probability that could happen as a unique phenomena - its meaningless concept. But we take it as it is, a story, cautionary tale. Life of Saints are used through history to spark ghost in us or even to amuse majority who was usually illitarate. Also through history we had big temples, churches, icons for which John of Damascus fight for in this story, all that is used to approach majority and keep faith and dogmas safe. I doubt that today christans think we need some spectacular temples with all icons in them to worship Holy Trinity, but unfortunately they still have oldschool autocrats in high positions. We can always read actual books written by John Damascus, but majority can still amuse themselves with this cute little tales, and that is ok. 🌷🌺
