I was recently commissioned to translate some profound and inspiring works by our Righteous Father Alexei Mechev, which I put together in a booklet. Unfortunately, after printing 500 copies, circumstances changed and the one who commissioned the work has been hospitalized and called off the purchase. Since I am at an unforeseen personal loss with this, I wanted to make these never before translated texts available to my followers for only $11.95 a copy, which includes shipping and handling in the United States (orders outside the US, please use a pay button towards the bottom of this page and include $5 for a total of $16.95). I would like to sell all of these as quick as possible, and it would be great reading material for the lenten season. As an added incentive, for the first 50 people who order, I will also offer a never before published text by Fr. John Romanides titled "The Canon and the Inspiration of the Holy Scripture" free of charge.

An Icon of the Archangel Michael Dated May 1, 856 AD


Four years ago somewhere on the island of Lesvos archaeologists discovered an icon of the Archangel Michael which bears the date of May 1, 856. They gave it to the Manufacturer of Carved Icons Mr. Michael Demetriou. He is the one who makes the swords and shoes of the miraculous icon of Taxiarchi of Mantamadou also in Lesvos (see image below). The two images bear an uncanny resemblance.

The above photo was taken when the icon was restored to its original appearance.
