Church Calendar

 

Beloved,

Recently Archbishop ANASTASIOS of Albania reposed in the Lord. I will not be surprised in the least if he is declared a Saint by the Church. The video below tells a little bit about his life: his search for God as a young person, his answer to God's call for him to Africa and his answer to God's call to go to Albania and resurrect the Orthodox Church there. Enjoy.
