Re: St Amvrosy of Optina
April 14, today, is the Day of St. Meliton, Bishop of Sardis [in today's Turkiye, where the ruins can still be seen].
Perhaps the nun named Melitona in the 1st post of this thread was named for him in a feminine version.

Re: Beware World Orthodox Elders Who Reject Old Calendarists

Re: St Barsanuphius of Optina
Well, it's that day again ! The same one on which Elder Nektary per the 1st post prophesied to Elder Barsanuphius that he would repose in two decades. And that was indeed the day that the obedient Elder Barsanuphius breathed his last - exactly twenty years later ! http://www.pravoslavie.ru/sas/imag...

Re: Struggle on Valaam 1923-39
