Orthodox teachings in short story clips on Youtube

Post by joasia »

A friend of mine sent me this Youtube link. Check out the other stories posted by Pankrestos. Many others are only in Greek, but there are some with English subtitles. I think these are wonderful for children too.

This short story is titled The Visit of Christ.

There's one titled We Are Three. I remember reading this about a real event with a Russian bishop saint in the late 19th century, but I can't remember his name.

I think these short stories are based on true experiences.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. (Ps. 50)

This is the second part of the Visit of Christ:

Very good.

Here is the first part of You are Three

And here is the second and final part of You are Three

These are great short stories suitable for adults and children.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

Just bumping this thread.

These videos are wonderful teaching tools.

Today, would it be permissible for Orthodox Christians to act in plays or movies that are morally correct such as these short movies?

In the ancient times, actors were involved in immoral activities, thus, they were not allowed to receive the Holy Mysteries until they ceased acting.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
