Узок путь в жизнь вечную, много требуется терпения духовного усердия, чтобы побороть свои страсти и научиться добродетели. Но есть среди добродетелей одна – самая простая, доступная любому возрасту и положению, но самая велика. Без нее все подвиги – ничто, а с ней и малые возносят к Небесам, это добродетель милостыни. О ней – слово святителя Иоанна Златоуста.

Akathist to Sts. Peter & Fevronia: Protectors of Orthodox Marriage
$4.50 $5.00
For centuries, the faithful of Russia have honored Sts. Peter and Fevronia as patrons of honorable marriage. A few years ago the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity, in honor of Orthodox family life, was established, fittingly acknowledging these righteous saints as protectors. On this day, special petitions for the preservation of Orthodox marriage are included in the Liturgy and a special prayer, invoking the intercession of Sts. Peter and Fevronia, is said at the conclusion of the service. (This prayer is included at the end of the Akathist.)
This pocket-sized, user-friendly edition is printed on glossy paper, just as the others in the Series. Both cover and inner pages are in full color, including several icons of the saints. 32 pages.
The Life of Sts. Peter & Fevronia
St. Peter was a prince of the city of Murom in Russia in the thirteenth century and became sick with a serious illness that the physicians could not cure. He heard about a peasant maiden, Fevronia, who was skilled in healing with medicinal herbs. He went to her and she treated him successfully. Deeply grateful and impressed by her wisdom, Peter married her. However his boyars were ashamed to have a peasant woman as their princess and rose up, demanding that Peter send her away. Rather than break his marriage vows, Peter chose to go into exile with Fevronia and together they left the city. Then the boyars began to fight among themselves who should be the next prince, and many were slain. The survivors came to their senses and ran after St. Peter, begging him to return to Murom with Fevronia, and restore peace to the city, which they did. Both became greatly beloved by the people for their almsgiving, humility and wise leadership.
After many years, when they knew they were approaching their ends, they both took monastic vows and prayed that they might die on the same day. They also gave instructions that they should be buried together and had a stone tomb prepared by the cathedral. And the Lord heard their prayer; they did indeed die on the same day, June 20, 1228, each in their own monasteries. However the people did not think it fitting to bury them together, and placed them in separate caskets while waiting for the funeral. The next morning the caskets were empty and their bodies were found together in the stone tomb. Sts. Peter and Fevronia were as honored after their deaths as they had been in life, and over the centuries became renowned as intercessors for those seeking help with their marriages.

Akathist to the Mother of God, The Milkgiver
$4.95 $5.50
This Akathist—pure and beautiful in its simplicity—was composed in honor of the unique Wonderworking Icon, “The Milkgiver,” treasured in the Serbian Hilandar Monastery on the Holy Mountain. The Theotokos is depicted breastfeeding Christ, a poignant model for mothers nourishing their children. This maternal image is woven throughout the text, as the Mother of God is our “sheltering wing,” “protection for our little children,” “support of families of the faithful,” and “nurturer of the young and weak.” She is the nurturer of all, for her milk “noetically poureth forth immaterial gifts, nurturing the hearts and souls of the faithful.” This English version is translated from Serbian and printed with the blessing of Hilandar Monastery. A fitting gift, especially during the season of Christ’s Nativity.
Inner pages include several full-page icons, and the entire pocket-sized book is fully adorned with a festive design. 32 pages.

The linden tree is one of the oldest tree species on God's green earth. Large-leaved linden trees have been known to live up to 600 years! It is sacred throughout history for many cultures and religions. Greek and Slavic cultures used to plant linden close to churches, houses, and important meetings places. They believed that lightening would not hit the holy tree, so people hid underneath it during thunderstorms. If there was an ill person or kettle at home, linden branches were brought for healing. Nobody was supposed to break or cut the tree without special needs. In the Slavic Orthodox Christian world, lindenwood was the preferred wood for panel icon painting including the linden icons by the hand of Andrei Rublev.
Linden has been mentioned in literature by poets and writers such as Russian Anton Chekhov and Lev Tolstoy.
