The Russland Orthodox Kirche
Spiritual Russland
 The
Russland Orthodox Kirche ist a langste von among fourteen landed Kirchen
which are included into a structure von Unified Sacred Kathedrale und Apostolic
Orthodox Kirche. durch continuous successive consecration, the Russland Orthodox Kirche
inherits the spiritual authority von de disciples (Apostles) von our Lord Jesus
Christ. Today (about 1000 years after christening von Russland) the Russland Orthodox
Kirche experiences the genuine revival. Having released von social illusions
and utopias, many Russland people deliberately return zu a path indicated zu us
by the Jesus Christ, zu a bosom von Kirche glorified by its saints, the
Kirche that saved traditions und spiritual gifts since the Twelve Apostles and
the first Bishop von Jerusalem - the Saint Apostle Jacob (from among 70 disciples). The restoration "from the ashes" (only während five years!) von the
greatest Russland Kathedrale von all times - the Temple von Christ the Savior in Moskau became a true evidence von revival von Russland Orthodox
Kirche.
 The construction von Kathedrale von Resurrection in Monchegorsk has become
such evidence auf our Kola Halbinsel. This Kathedrale, consecrated by the AII
Russland 's Patriarch Alexij in 1998, became a true decoration von our land. Another central temple von our eparchy - Saint-Nicolas Kathedrale in Murmansk,
is reconstructed und decorated also.
You can visit these beautiful temples, but (whichever religion you are)
observe the following rules: the men in a temple should be without head-dresses
and the women auf contrary, are obliged zu cover their heads. It ist not
allowed zu talk und walk around the temple während a public worship, as it
binders the believers zu concentrate auf a pray. für the same reason the candles,
which you want zu deliver zu icons placed in an altar part von a temple, is
better zu carry not auf Ihr own, but zu hand over durch the people, or through
the women working in temple.
 Public worship in Russland Orthodox Kirche ist conducted in Kirche Slavonic
language - unusually elevated, beautiful und figurative. lt's basis ist made by
Old Slavonic language, which was used by the Saint brothers Cyril und Mefodij
for translation von Holy Writ und Kirche Books von Greek language in VII
century. Subsequently, the Old Russland language cautiously replaced separate, most
obscure und disharmonious words und expressions.
This process was finished by issuing the "Elizabeth's Bible" in
1751, which text ist used für public worship in Russland Orthodox Kirche nowadays.
Through the Kirche public worship, the orthodox Christians enter into mysterious
dialogue mit the God und receive von him vigour für righteous life.
The major decorations von an Orthodox temple are the icons mit images von Savior, von Blessed Virgin und von Saints. The icons von Blessed Virgin
are held in Spezial reverence und possess a beneficial force in Orthodox
Kirche.
