    You probably already know this, but the director Yelena Popovic who produced "Man of God" (about St Nektarios) is in pre-production on a film about St. Moses!

      I did know that! I heard it might actually be a contemporary retelling of the story.
      There is ALSO a movie in development called 'The Black' which is post-apocalyptic retelling that links the story of Saint Moses with that of Saint Mary of Egypt. Should be good as well!

    St. Moses is one of my favorites because of his struggle of lust and anger is just way too relatable. If he became a great saint after years of struggle than that gives me so much hope.
    As a fellow filmmaker and amateur Church historian, I'm so glad to have found this channel. Love the film grain, the lighting, Narsil/Anduril, and those derbies (or bluchers). Where'd you get them if you don't mind me asking?

      Yes, Moses is an excellent saint for young men today! An example of true repentance, a gentleman, and a man of God.

      They're mostly from copyright free books and resources of the 19th century! The British Library and other places have scanned heaps of images that are available online. We go through a long process of finding pictures that fit the story, and editing them to work in the motion graphics.

      Thanks for the reply. I am really enjoying your channel. I am new to Christianity after being raised a Jehovah’s Witness. It’s been very difficult deconstructing my old beliefs and building a real relationship with Christ. Channels like yours really help as I love history in general and I get to learn true Christian beliefs. Keep it up!!

    • @Patristix
      @Patristix  9 місяців тому +1

      May God be with you! Would definitely recommend connecting with an Orthodox Church and chatting with a priest about all these kinds of things. Patristix is an introduction but Orthodoxy is the real life application.
      And rooibos being caffiene free is one of the best parts of it! It's got strength but can be had in the evenings.

      @Patristix  Рік тому +2

      Not yet! But it's a good discussion to have with your priest. Also worth remembering that your relationship with your chosen saint is like any friendship. It will grow as you grow in the faith. So it's not a scary decision or one you will get wrong. We choose to become closer friends to others and to grow the friendship. Also: while we all have a patron, we are friends and fellow believers of LOTS of saints besides! God bless!

      That's fair enough. I enjoy rooibos a lot, has a nice strong flavour but no caffeine. Also acts as a good base for mixed tea blends that can be had in an evening.
