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.

Saint Anthony of Black Lake (+ 1598)

St. Anthony of Chernoezersk (Feast Day - January 17)

Venerable Anthony of Black Lake founded the Monastery of the Nativity of the Mother of God at Black Lake [Chernoezersk] in the Novgorod area, not far from the city of Cherepovets. He reposed in 1598.

The monastery was on an island of the Schirsk countryside. It twice suffered complete destruction: in 1581, from the Lithuanians; and in 1682, from the Swedes. The monastery was closed in 1764.

Today there is a cross with an icon of Saint Anthony over the spot where the Chernoezersk Monastery once stood.
