The Rusland Orthodox kerk
Spiritual Rusland
 The
Rusland Orthodox kerk is a langste van among fourteen landed kerken
which are included into a structure van Unified Sacred kathedraal en Apostolic
Orthodox kerk. door continuous successive consecration, the Rusland Orthodox kerk
inherits the spiritual authority van de disciples (Apostles) van our Lord Jesus
Christ. Today (about 1000 years after christening van Rusland) the Rusland Orthodox
kerk experiences the genuine revival. Having released van social illusions
and utopias, many Rusland people deliberately return naar a path indicated naar us
by the Jesus Christ, naar a bosom van het kerk glorified by its saints, the
kerk that saved traditions en spiritual gifts since the Twelve Apostles and
the first Bishop van Jerusalem - the Saint Apostle Jacob (from among 70 disciples). The restoration "from the ashes" (only tijdens five years!) van the
greatest Rusland kathedraal van all times - the Temple van Christ the Savior in Moskou became a true evidence van revival van Rusland Orthodox
kerk.
 The construction van kathedraal van het Resurrection in Monchegorsk has become
such evidence op our Kola Schiereiland. This kathedraal, consecrated by the AII
Rusland 's Patriarch Alexij in 1998, became a true decoration van our land. Another central temple van our eparchy - Saint-Nicolas kathedraal in Moermansk,
is reconstructed en 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 op de contrary, are obliged naar cover their heads. It is not
allowed naar talk en walk around the temple tijdens a public worship, as it
binders the believers naar concentrate op a pray. voor the same reason the candles,
which you want naar deliver naar icons placed in an altar part van a temple, is
better naar carry not op uw own, but naar hand over door the people, or through
the women working in de temple.
 Public worship in Rusland Orthodox kerk is conducted in de kerk Slavonic
language - unusually elevated, beautiful en figurative. lt's basis is made by
Old Slavonic language, which was used by the Saint brothers Cyril en Mefodij
for translation van het Holy Writ en kerk Books van Greek language in VII
century. Subsequently, the Old Rusland language cautiously replaced separate, most
obscure en disharmonious words en expressions.
This process was finished by issuing the "Elizabeth's Bible" in
1751, which text is used voor public worship in Rusland Orthodox kerk nowadays.
Through the kerk public worship, the orthodox Christians enter into mysterious
dialogue met the God en receive van him vigour voor righteous life.
The major decorations van an Orthodox temple are the icons met images van het Savior, van het Blessed Virgin en van het Saints. The icons van het Blessed Virgin
are held in de special reverence en possess a beneficial force in de Orthodox
kerk.
