"In the wilderness of David-Garejeli in Georgia there were twelve monasteries, in which monks had lived the ascetic life for centuries. In 1615, Shah Abbas I invaded Georgia, laid it waste and slew innumerable Christians. One day, while out hunting at dawn on Easter Day intself, he saw the light of many candles shining in the hills. This was the monks of all twelve monasteries in procession all round the Church of the Resurrection, walking with candles in their hands. When the Shah discovered that it was monks, he asked in disbelief: 'Isn't the whole of Georgia put to the sword by now?', and ordered his generals to go and slaughter the monks at once. An angel of God appeared to Abbot Arsenius, and revealed their imminent death to him, and Arsenius informed the brethren. They then all received Communiaon in the Holy Misteries and prepared for death. Then the attackers arrived, hacked the abbot to pieces when he came out ahead of the others, and then killed all the rest. They all suffered with honour and were crowned with unfading wreaths in 1615. Thus ended the history of these famous monasteries, which had been like a flame of spiritual enlightenment in Georgia for more than 1,000 years. There remain just two today: St David and St John the Baptist. The King of Georgia, Archil, gathered the remains of all the martyrs and buried them. Their relics are to this day full of myrrh for the healing of those in sickness."

She loves this corner at church and always points out “Jesus’s owies” and then she kisses her hand and reaches up to deliver her kiss to them One of the beautiful things about our church is it’s surrounded by icons of the events leading up to Jesus’s death and resurrection. It’s like a giant picture book. Every week we start right here, at the cross, and just behind the cross is the beginning - Palm Sunday or Elizabeth’s version “Jesus riding on a donkey to Jerusalem”. Then we walk around the church and talk about all the other parts of the story of Jesus. I love teaching her about Jesus, and I’m looking forward to the next few weeks as we get closer to Pascha (Easter)!

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us! Metropolitan Tikhon celebrates the Synaxis of the Three Hierarchs on Tuesday. #LiveOrthodoxy #OrthodoxyinAmerica #tbt

✨Featured Artist: Day 2✨ work in progress with @emilia_beth . . “I look at the tiny stitches as I work and I can see in my mind the big picture that will be the final outcome but the beauty only comes about by many, many tiny stitches sometimes many mistakes which on one side are messy and don't depict a clear picture. It is not until the work is completed and I turn it over that the full image can be seen. In the midst of our struggles we often have a difficult time seeing the beauty, the final image that God is constructing in us. In the end what I hope is seen is God, revealed in humanity, depicted with beauty. Sometimes we need to just turn things over and view them from His perspective.” . . “This summer a friend returned from a trip to Uganda and I was captivated her photo of a Ugandan grandma waiting for medical care. That beautiful woman is my work in progress. Her eyes draw me in. I pray for her as I stitch and am reminded of God's great mercy for me to have access to care for my family when so many do not.” #astillsmallpointfeaturedartist . . . Isn’t her work so intricate and beautiful? Leave a comment below and share some love for @emilia_beth ✨

✨Featured artist: day 3✨ with @emilia_beth . . "My inspiration is my family. My husband is my favorite person in the world. He encourages me and challenges me. We are the proud parents of five children ages 7-15. Over the last 7 years God has brought our family through some very rough times. Our youngest son has needs that have brought me to the end of myself. He has taught me very tangibly how God can redeem suffering and is present in the darkest moments. We have a very hard road ahead and I am trusting that God will bring about beauty from the mess. We are learning to surrender moment by moment to the creator and giver of life who takes joy in making us His masterpiece. Glory to God in all things" . . . Isn’t her work just exquisite So intricate and full of detail. Her work is called needle painted icons ☦️ and she also is an incredible talented lady; making hand spun yarns, baptismal gowns, Peg dolls (or Liturgy for Little’s) as well as raising her family. What an incredibly gifted community we have here! Please do check out her Etsy shop! #astillsmallpointfeaturedartist
