Re: About the establishment of “MP ROCOR(A)”

Re: Is St. Ismeria truly Jesus' great grandmother?
To me, it is better to be sceptical of 15th century Florentian documents and in general of any 'new revelations' coming from 'Roman Catholic" sources. As a matter of fact, this topic should be moved out of "Synaxarion Orthodoxia" and into "Miscellaneous Issues" - unless some...
