Holy Trinity Publications makes the heritage of Orthodox Russia accessible to all today who seek to live a life of faithfulness to God within His Church.
Holy Trinity Publications is the name given to the publishing work of Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville, New York. Founded in 1930, the monastery began both printing and publishing books in 1947, operating its own print shop of St. Job of Pochaev within the monastery. Since then some five hundred works have been published in both Russian and English. In particular, the monastery played an impo
rtant role in providing spiritual literature to believers in Russia during the seventy plus years of Communist rule. Holy Trinity Publications now seeks to take this work into the future, making the heritage of Orthodox Russia accessible to all today who seek to live a life of faithfulness to God within His Holy Church.

AUTHOR OF "THE HISTORY OF THE RUSSIAN CHURCH IN AUSTRALIA" RECIEVES THE PATRIARCHAL AWARD OF THE ORDER OF ST SERGIUS
On September 17, 2024, His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia received Archpriest Michael Protopopov, Chancellor of the Diocese of Sydney, Australia and New Zealand of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, Rector of the Church of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos in Dandenong, Australia, at the Patriarchal residence in Chisty Lane in Moscow.
Taking part in the meeting was His Eminence Metropolitan Anthony of Volokolamsk, Chairman of the Department for External Church Relations.
In recognition of his labors for the good of the Holy Church and in connection with his 80th birthday, the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church presented Archpriest Michael Protopopov with the Order of St Sergius of Radonezh, First Degree.
In the course of the talk, His Holiness shared his memories of previous meetings with Fr Michael, in particular, of their contact in Australia many years ago. Patriarch Kirill also expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Fr Michael for his active participation in one of the most important events in the modern history of the Russian Orthodox Church – the reestablishment of unity between its two once separate parts in 2007, when the Act of Canonical Communion was signed.

NEW ARTICLE ON "ORTHODOX LIFE", "The Madness of Herod and the Victory of St John the Baptist".
"In the heart of every man, there is a great conflict between good and evil, between light and darkness, between serving God, and serving the devil. No man walking the path of life on this earth is wholly on one side or the other. Rather, he fights a constant battle either to serve the Creator who loves him, nurtures him, and died on the Cross for him, or to serve the one who hates him and seeks to make him suffer in hell along with himself.
Rightly did St John of the Ladder say, “A true Christian is he who fights with himself and against himself as if with an enemy.” This is true of all men, and all men either win this battle and enjoy their reward in heaven, or lose it, and suffer eternally for it."
Herod fell to his passions, but St John prevailed. The former was a king but became a slave, while latter was a prisoner and became royalty in heaven.
MONTHLY FEATURE: LIVING WITHOUT HYPOCRISY
This month, we are highlighting this collection of the sayings of the Holy Elders of Optina. The Optina Elders are an important link in the spiritual heritage of Orthodox Russia. Their wisdom has been a guiding light for Orthodox Christians for generations. In 2005, Archimandrite (now Archbishop) George Schaffer translated a collection of sayings of the Optina Elders for the now-classic Living Without Hypocrisy: Spiritual Counsels of the Elders of Optina.
Many pilgrims don’t realize there is a church in the monastic dormitory dedicated to the Optina Elders. Every year, on the Synaxis of the Optina Elders (10/23 October), the full cycle of services is held here. You may recognize the icons of Christ and the Theotokos on the iconostasis from the opening pages of the Jordanville Prayer Book!
One of the great treasures held at the monastery is a reliquary containing many of the Optina Elders.
Given the brotherhood’s deep veneration for these holy elders of our times, we are honored to continue transmitting their salvific teachings contained in Living Without Hypocrisy:
“Guard the holy faith, that priceless treasure, and with it enter the Kingdom: it is not for something trivial that we labor, but for acquiring a kingdom, and what a kingdom – a heavenly one! We want to be made its citizens.”
— St Barsanuphius of Optina
“Without the visible Holy Church, there could not be the Holy Mysteries of Christ, without which man could not inherit eternal life. Prayers during church services have so much power and significance that just the words, “Lord, have mercy’ surpass all the spiritual exercises performed in one’s cell. For this reason the Holy Fathers, while standing in church during divine services, imagined themselves standing before the very throne of God in heaven!”
— St Anthony of Optina
Don’t forget about our special “Thank You” offer of discounts up to 50%, which includes Living Without Hypocrisy:https://bookstore.jordanville.org/9780884650928
Holy Trinity Publications announces new collection of Western European saints’ lives.
True to the heritage of Orthodox Russia in reviving the veneration of ancient, pre-schism Orthodox saints in Western Europe, Holy Trinity Publications is pleased to announce the release of Saints of Switzerland, an extensive compilation of the lives of saints of ancient Helvetia, modern-day Switzerland.This publication continues in the footsteps of St John (Maximovitch), Bishop Ambrose (Cantacuzène) (+2009), and many others within ROCOR who strove for the revival of Orthodox veneration for ancient Western saints. Specifically, it represents the culmination of the project begun by Bishop Ambrose to compile the lives of and compose hymnography to the ancient saints of his homeland. By the efforts of Subdeacon Claude Lopez-Ginisty of St Barbara Church in Vevey, Switzerland, Saints of Switzerland is now available to all readers.
The book is organized as a Synaxarion, or annual calendar of Swiss saints, beginning with the Church New Year. In addition to these lives, troparia are provided at the end of each entry, providing the reader hymns to sing in honor of each saint. Thus, Saints of Switzerland can be used as an aid in daily devotion. A liturgical service and akathist to the Saints of Switzerland, both composed by Bishop Ambrose, are also included. In Switzerland, as established by Archbishop Michael of Geneva and Western Europe, this liturgical service is served on the third Sunday of September (according to the civil calendar), coinciding with the Federal Day of Thanksgiving, Repentance, and Prayer.
We pray that Saints of Switzerland will become an integral part of the growing collection of works dedicated to the saints of the ancient Christian West, reviving their memory and veneration among Orthodox Christians today.

АПОСТОЛ ШВЕЙЦАРСКОЙ ЗЕМЛИ. ПРЕПОДОБНЫЙ ГАЛЛ ГЕЛЬВЕТИЙСКИЙ И САНКТ-ГАЛЛЕНСКИЙ МОНАСТЫРЬ
В 2018 году Священный Синод Русской Православной Церкви включил в месяцеслов Церкви древнего святого неразделенной Церкви преподобного Галла Гельветийского. В последнее время в месяцеслов нередко вносятся имена древних святых, подвизавшихся в различных странах, что подчеркивает межнациональный, вселенский характер Церкви, которая не забывает никого из своих чад, разбросанных по миру. Чему можно научиться на примерах из жизни преподобного Галла и как живут русские приходы в Швейцарии — в материале «Журнала Московской Патриархии».
Осенью 2023 года в Швейцарии, в Лозанне, появилась новая община Русской Православной Церкви, посвященная всем святым, в земле Швейцарской просиявшим. В состав собора входят крупные богословы IV века Афанасий Великий и Амвросий Медиоланский, известный сербский святой XX века святитель Николай Сербский, наш соотечественник святитель Иоанн Шанхайский. Однако первым из них, просветителем земли Швейцарской, по праву считается преподобный Галл Гельветийский.
По происхождению ирландец, святой Галл родился в середине VI века, приблизительно в 550 году, в Ленстере в знатной семье. Вторая половина VI века в Ирландии характеризуется бурным распространением христианства, что сопровождалось развитием монастырей, причем не только в Ирландии, но и в соседней Британии. Видя подвиг многих преподобных кельтских отцов, просиявших в те годы, преподобный Галл, повзрослев, и сам подался в монашество. Первым местом его подвигов стал монастырь Бангор, который в те годы достиг своего расцвета. Там святой Галл сблизился с другим святым миссионером — преподобным Колумбаном Люксейским.

Joyous Feast! Today is the Leavetaking of Transfiguration.
As we finish celebrating this Great Feast of the Lord and look foward to the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos, read our latest post on Orthodox Life, "The Glory of the Lord on Mount Tabor". This was a sermon given on Transfiguration this year at Holy Trinity Monastery by Deacon Nicholas Kotar.
Today, we are wrapping up our monthly highlight, "Conversations With My Heart".

MONTHLY FEATURE: CONVERSATIONS WITH MY HEART
https://www.holytrinitypublications.com/conversations-with-my-heart
Holy Trinity Publications is proud to announce a monthly series of featured books from our back catalog. This month, we are looking at "Conversations With My Heart", the diaries of ROCOR's second Primate.
Metropolitan Anastasy lived through the throes of revolution, and wisely guided the Church through the trials of World War II, finally moving the headquarters of ROCOR to New York in 1950.
Vladyka Anastasy holds a special place in our hearts at Jordanville. His first pastoral visit in America was to Holy Trinity Monastery, where he presided over the Great Consecration of our cathedral, alongside St. John (Maximovitch) and Archbishop Vitaly (Maximenko). Vladyka Anastasy can be seen in side-profile censing the altar in the photo below.
The Monastery is also blessed to have a set of his vestments which are still wearable. Metropolitan Mark (Arndt) of Berlin wore them during the burial service of Metropolitan Hilarion (Kapral).
Previously, only short excerpts of Conversations With My Heart could be found in English from Fr. Seraphim Rose’s Orthodox Survival Course. Now, the prayers, reflections, and thoughts of this luminary hierarch are available to all of our readers.
Vladyka Anastasy is buried in the crypts underneath the altar of our cathedral alongside ROCOR's many other notable hierarchs, including his successors, Metropolitans Philaret (Vosnesensky) and Laurus (Skurla), Archbishops Anthony (Medvedev) of San Fransciso, Tikhon (Troisky), Averky (Taushev) and many others.
The International Patristics Conference at the University of Oxford has finished and our table is bare. Thankful for many new contacts made and old ones renewed.
The first day of the International Patristics Conference. Good to meet many friends both old and new.
