of the of our Lord! ☦️ God the Father spoke from Heaven about the Son, the Son was baptized by St. John the Forerunner, and the Holy Spirit descended upon the Son in the form of a dove. From ancient times, this Feast was called the "Day of Illumination" and the "Feast of Lights", since God is Light and has appeared to illumine “those who sat in darkness,” and “in the region of the shadow of death” (Mt.4:16), and to save the fallen race of mankind by grace (oca.org).

🎼 "When You, O Lord were baptized in the Jordan the worship of the Trinity was made manifest. For the voice of the Father bore witness to You, and called You His beloved Son. And the Spirit, in the form of a dove, confirmed the truthfulness of His word. O Christ, our God, You have revealed Yourself and have enlightened the world, glory to You!" Troparion — Tone 1

▶️ ABOUT THIS EPISODE: As Lithuania accepted Christianity and expanded in the medieval period, it became more prominent on the international stage, entering into a union with Poland and becoming even more multi-cultural and multi-religious, including a large population of Orthodox Christians, alongside Catholics, pagans, Jews, and Muslims. Grand Dukes Vytautas and Jogaila give a final defeat to the Crusaders and ponder life on the border between East and West.

of St. Seraphim of Sarov! ☦️ Today we celebrate the feast of his repose, and again on July 19th for the uncovering of his relics.

🎼 You loved Christ from your youth, O blessed one, and longing to work for Him alone you struggled in the wilderness in constant prayer and labor. With penitent heart and great love for Christ you were favored by the Mother of God. Therefore we cry to you: “Save us by your prayers, venerable Seraphim, our father!” - Troparion (Tone 4)
