As a Catholic, I love watching your videos of pre-schism saints in the reliquary; they always make me hopeful for a reunification of our two Churches. God bless you for the wonderful work you do, and the wonderful videos you produce!
First I got sick, then lazy, then I had a software issue, but it is OVER! In Serbia, we have a saying, ''to give birth to a bear,'' and making this video was one such endeavor. St. Spyridon is probably one of my favorite saints ever and a major reason I'm in Church today. :-) Also, St. Spyridon only ever met two kinds of people: good people and merchants. Friday: probably nothing, exhausted Monday: My Thoughts on Atheism vs. Science (Pencils & Prayer Ropes)
Bible Illustrated Bojan - sorry for your illness, you have such a great channel, i would hate for your to focus too much on science and atheism and draw a crowd In that could destroy your good efforts, don’t throw pearls to swine 😝
Bible Illustrated my favorite saint is Saint Catherine of Bologna, she was once a aristocrat but decided to become a nun, she founded two churches and she became an abyss. She was an artist and write poetry about spiritual warfare. But when she died, her body was incorruptible. I though my patron saint is Saint Luke maybe a patron saint of artists but it was Catherine. Boyan, keep posting videos and have a lovely day.
Bible Illustrated Matt. 15:27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. I’m sorry, couldn’t resist being one of those 🐕 dogs. (An American, English Speaking Convert 😬)
God gave you a good talent my friend. To the host and anyone involved in this show, good will and peace from an American Catholic Christian. Spyridon is my confi.....Christmation saint.
I dont know if its because I haven't watched one of your videos in a few days, but I think this is one of your better episodes. I learned a great deal in the 9 minutes and 44 seconds. Thank you.
I think you did very well despite all your hurdles! And I love the saying "to give birth to a bear". I know many endeavors in life is like this. Thank you for making this video on St. Spyridon. This is my first time hearing of him. (this is Emily Broyles btw, but my name changed after being crowned!)
I saw this video 4 days ago and today someone gave me a relic of him at church. It was a donation to the church and I didn’t even say anything about it, But when I was buying my new icon of the transfiguration, the shopkeeper guy just put it in my hand and said “go ahead and take this, for protection”
A lovely film as usual sir. Thank you. "Everything is pure to the pure" is a brilliant quotation that I shall try to remember. I think the humour in your drawings is really good and shows that religion does not have to be serious or sad all the time. Blessings and peace be with you always
I missed you, I really needed this video because I am depressed for several reasons lately...I just started college again and it is terrible in every way, from the propaganda marxist courses like gender studies to the demographics where I'm in just a short time now one of the few white students, and these ghetto people look at me like I'm a foreigner when my area used to be totally different, and safer of course. Anyway, considering this and recent news like the Ukraine church controversy, I just keep sinking into dark stress and despair and it hurts. It feels like the world is falling apart. I get terrified for the future and I feel like my prayers are useless. Recently I have even considered just becoming a monk though I am scared of leaving my family and never having a wife. I don't know, I just needed to rant. I'm sorry you were sick, I hope you fully recover and thank you for everything and your inspiring videos. Saint Spyridon, pray for us.
God bless you so much, I'll keep you in my prayers always my friend. Try not to think about the negatives too much, I hope your studies are going well. :)
@@young321bookie thank you so much for your kind words, I do not deserve them whstsoever and much less so your prayers. I am worthless and deserve my current tribulations. Maybe they will refine my spirit, but I am somewhat autistic and very sensitive to much sensory things which makes daily life struggle and I don't really have friends irl. I don't know why I mentioned that but it's context . I just want to live close to nature and God one day around people like me like everyone needs... and I pray if I am not meant for monasteries then I can have a good wife and many children. Anyway, thank you again and you are in my prayers too. Have a wonderful day.
Seeker Seraphim Your feeling of abandonment could just be in between steps in the process of theosis. Do not despair, for the Lord is closer to you than usual. I found it difficult in college as well, but by Gods grace made it. Your calling either in the monastery or laity will have a cross to bear, for now, remember the words of the risen Christ, fear not for I am with you. Have you ever read the final spiritual testament of st seraphim or sarov? It’s. A 2 page letter, google it like so, you may find it helpful. God bless you.
@@achapa799 I'll look it up, thank you very much for that...again I feel honored to receive any response especially from more than one person, that is amazing. I have a bad habit of staring into the abyss, as they say. I keep reading depressing news about the west, you know the problems I'm sure, and it terrifies me. However ultimately I know this is the consequence of the west abandoning God, in eastern europe they generally have healthy borders and culture. I pray that somehow the tribulations of this age convince so many lost westerners to convert to Orthodoxy like their ancestors followed one thousand years ago. I know two already. I know God controls everything, I hope he has mercy on us...but if we are nearing the end days, God preserve and purify our souls for the judgement. I will try to look to myself more, it is difficult for my personality type though. I'm an anxious mess for others Haha. Anyway, thank you again and Christ bless you.
Seeker Seraphim - Try not to be so hard on yourself my friend, that kind of negativity is more of the devil than it is Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit. Think of the attitude Jesus Christ had, He couldn't have been more positive in the things that He did and said. :) I don't have any friends irl either, you're not alone there, but that isn't going to be the same forever as we'll make plenty of friends as we go through our lives. If you're not happy with things in your life right now that's OK, it isn't going to be like that forever my friend I promise you. :) I don't mean to cause any offense but it has to be said, I'm not sure about yourself but this channel stinks of catholicism which is one of the most wicked and one of the most successful things that satan has ever achieved as far as attacking Christianity goes. The nearer you get to the vatican/catholicism, the further away from Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit you will get.
You should mention the author of the Wisdom OfThe Magus Of Strovolos. KYRIAKOS C. MARKIDES. Who's follow up book RIDING WITH THE LION is also a fantastic journey into Mystical Christianity.
Conall & Donall! Yes! My 2 new favorite subscriptions are you, Bible Illustrated & Lutheran Satire! Hope Pastor Fiene returns the nod to great You Tubing, lol❤😺
Actually, it will be done rather soon. I probably won't do the part on how different denominations see it because it'd require too much effort, so I'll just put my 2 cents on it :-)
I've just discovered your channel yesterday and am in awe of it! You, sir, are brilliant ^.^ . Also, just a recommendation: maybe you could make a video about different "types" of angels some day. It's a subject that fascinates me and (I hope) many more practicing orthodox people out there (not limited to us of course, though).
51 He answered me, and said, Ask a woman that beareth children, and she shall tell thee. 52 Say unto her, Wherefore are unto they whom thou hast now brought forth like those that were before, but less of stature? 53 And she shall answer thee, They that be born in the the strength of youth are of one fashion, and they that are born in the time of age, when the womb faileth, are otherwise. 54 Consider thou therefore also, how that ye are less of stature than those that were before you. 55 And so are they that come after you less than ye, as the creatures which now begin to be old, and have passed over the strength of youth. (2 Esd 5)
He is venerated by both but Saint Spyridon has made it clear about how he feels about Papists 😄 www.johnsanidopoulos.com/2010/08/great-miracle-of-st-spyridon-on-august.html
Bonnie Johnstone - This is devilment, catholicism is of the devil and just like the devil catholics never tell the truth, they never let people know they are catholic on these channels.
ron sae You are mistaken my friend. This is Orthodox Christianity. ua-cam.com/video/Qdr7u6IP6sg/v-deo.html We are the Church that has kept the Faith from the beginning. We can trace back to the Apostles. Saint Spyridon participated in the sessions of the First Ecumenical Council in the year 325. At the Council, the saint entered into a dispute with a Greek philosopher who was defending the Arian heresy. Arianism is a nontrinitarian Christological doctrine which asserts the belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who was begotten by God the Father at a point in time, a creature distinct from the Father and is therefore subordinate to him, but the Son is also God. So, thank you St. Spyridon, defender of the Faith.

The fact you don't have at minimum a hundred thousand subs yet amazes me.
Good taste is uncommon, and good talent often goes ignored. Ever true, but especially so in our era.
Shouldn't have chosen the English-speaking Orthodox as my niche! :-D But, Christ willed what He willed B-)

This guy reaches Apostle level Theosis.
Thank you, St. Spyridon is cool too I guess
He is Daskalos who lived in Cyprus in 1912s and passed over in 1995. Read "Homage to the Sun" for more information about this Saint.

Why are there no modern-day saints, or at least not as many as there were back then?

“ he achieved the absolute height of Sanctity despite being a bishop”
What’s your beef with bishops about bojan 😂😂
I have my reasons ;-)
I have a question, why don't you like bishops?
Finally! Now I have a heavenly companion for not being good with money 😂😂😂
But seriously, pray for us.
lol So true! :-)
"Dont call dirty what God created pure" if I recall corectly
Yup
That's PARTIALISM, Patrick!
How can we know all this is true? Any manuscripts or artifacts depicting his miracles?
It's been handed down in his biography, as with other saints'.
