Detectives established that the local resident was involved in the activities of the Jehovah's Witnesses sect. The detainee himself explained that the voices of "gods" were heard in his head, which prompted him to burn down the Voznesenskoye cemetery.
To implement his criminal intent, the detainee collected a backpack with flammable mixtures, firecrackers and flares, which was found on him.

www.instagram.com/p/DHCD2YHJ...Lord have mercy! Radical Islamists have in recent days murdered thousands of Christians in Syria and the rampage continues. Despite the danger, many are marching in the streets in brave protest against the violence aimed at Christians and other minority religious groups.
Thousands of Syrian Christians have fled to a Russian airbase where they are being protected by Russian Soldiers.Christians are massacred by Syria's new regime
Syria’s new Islamist regime, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), is accused of ordering the slaughter of Christians, while also targeting Alawites and Druze. Reports indicate hundreds killed, with door-to-door executions fueling fears of genocide in the escalating crisis.CNN published ( edition.cnn.com/2025/03/17... ) an extensive article about the ongoing ethnic cleansing in Syria.
Maxar satellite images obtained by CNN show the sites of new mass graves of Alawites killed by the Syrian terrorist regime near the city of Sanobar. I previously published a video (the third one) from the burial site, the photos of which are now being published by CNN.
The portal confirms the killing of at least 84 Alawites in Sanobar and refutes Julani's words that the massacres are not being carried out by the HTS group he leads, but by some uncontrolled criminal elements: the terrorists in Sanobar were wearing military uniforms with HTS patches. As a result of ethnic cleansing, a mass grave measuring 26 by 16 meters appeared in just one small town.
All this, let me remind you, is happening with the full connivance of the world community. Europe, Turkey and Arab countries fully support the genocide of Christians and Alawites in Syria. Germany today announced ( english.alarabiya.net/News/world... ) a new $326 million aid package for the terrorist regime in Syria.
The head of the terrorists' Foreign Ministry has been invited to a conference of Syrian donors in Brussels, where they plan to discuss increasing European aid to the regime that is committing genocide against Christians and Alawites. The United States, according to the latest information from Al Arabiya ( english-alarabiya-net.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/englis... ) will not participate in the Brussels conference. But despite the crosses on Rubio's forehead and Vance's statements about supporting Christians in the world, in fact, the Trump administration seems to be more interested in Iranian proxies and the trade routes they threaten.
Trump is in no hurry to help Syrian religious minorities. Instead, as CBS writes (www.cbsnews.com/news/gazan...), the US presidential administration is working on a plan to resettle Palestinians from Gaza to Syria, where Trump, let me remind you, has planned a large commercial construction project.

Its amazing how Christians work, sometimes i find it strange we are still here! We dont believe in violence and we believe in the love of people - even when we are being exterminated!
When will Christians stop turning the other cheek and believe in the good of man ( which often seem to be a myth, man dont seem very good, but outright evil! ) ???
And how to islam fit into all of this? How can a Muslims call him self a Muslim if killing an innocent is killing the entire humanity and is that not seen as a bad thing?
If we look at these islamist as zionists/Jews on the other hand? They seem to hate us even though we never attacked them first and kept taking them in afterwards again.

ON INWARD PEACE
"There is nothing better than peace in Christ, for it brings victory over all the evil spirits on earth and in the air. When peace dwells in a man's heart it enables him to contemplate the grace of the Holy Spirit from within. He who dwells in peace collects spiritual gifts as it were with a scoop, and he sheds the light of knowledge on others. All our thoughts, all our desires, all our efforts, and all our actions should make us say constantly with the Church: "O Lord, give us peace!" When a man lives in peace, God reveals mysteries to him.."♰ St. Seraphim of Sarov ♰. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

️ Therefore, my brothers, let us strive, knowing that the age is in struggle, and that many come to vanity, even to exploits, but not all are crowned, but only those who have labored much and gloriously strived. Let us do exploits in such a way that all will be crowned. Let us take the right path, the imperishable feat, and together we will go and do the feat so that we will be crowned. And if all cannot be crowned, at least let us be close to the crown.

BEING ORTHODOX 
"To be Orthodox means to have the God-man Christ constantly in your soul, to live in Him, think in Him, feel in Him, act in Him. In other words, to be Orthodox means to be a Christ-bearer and a Spirit-bearer."♰ St Justin Popovich ♰. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Spiritual growth is a hard work life-long process needing careful regard and attention. The minute you decide you are done and good is the start of your falling.
"It is one thing to be delivered from bad thoughts, and another to be freed from the passions. Often people are delivered from thoughts, when they do not have before their eyes those things which produce passion. But the passions for them remain hidden in the Soul, and when the things appear again the passions are revealed. Therefore it is necessary to guard the mind when these things appear, and to know toward which things you have a passion.”Saint Maximus the Confessor. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
We believe that the divine presence is everywhere and that "the eyes of the Lord are looking on the good and the evil in every
place." But we should believe this especially without any doubt when we are assisting at the Work of God. To that end let us be
mindful always of the Prophet's words, "Serve the Lord in fear" and again, "Sing praises wisely" and "In the sight of the Angels I
will sing praise to Thee." Let us therefore consider how we ought to conduct ourselves in the sight of the Godhead and of His
Angels, and let us take part in the psalmody in such a way that our mind may be in harmony with our voice.
♰ St. Benedict ♰. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.

Yes ...this may be so . but shame on you for making mankind believe this is the ONLY WAY. For in doing this you serve only the evil selfishness that seeks to control the hearts and minds of humankind.
Any soul that seeks to enslave another into its own singular beliefs is driven by narcissistic egoism . And eternal shame shall be its own penance.

The practice of hesychasm is a faithful response to Christ's injunction in the Gospel of Matthew to "go into your closet to pray." Hesychasm calls us to move beyond our senses and withdraw inwards to pray. Hesychasm often includes repeating the Jesus Prayer: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner".An ardent defender of the hesychastic life was St Gregory Palamas, commemorated the
2nd Sunday of Great Lent.
Before hesychasm would gain wide acceptance, St Gregory paid for his defense of it with a "life on the run," and jail time. Yet he who suffered much would come to perform many miracles of healing later in life. On the eve of St Gregory's repose, St John Chrysostom appeared to him in a vision with the words “To the heights! To the heights!”"O wonder-working Gregory, glory of Thessalonica and preacher of grace, always intercede before the Lord that our souls may be saved.". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .A Prayer in AfflictionO God Almighty, Lord of heaven and earth, and of all creation visible and invisible, in Thine ineffable goodness, my helper and defender in this day of affliction. Thou knowest my weakness. Thou hearest my cry in repentance and contrition of heart. O Lord who lovest mankind deliver me from pain, sorrow and impending threats, that I may continue to serve Thee in peace and glorify Thy most honorable and majestic name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."The Son of God has become the Son of Man in order to make us, men, sons of God.“
St Symeon the New Theologian (Mar 12)The Church, recognizing St. Symeon’s remarkable life of prayer and holiness, as well as the heights of his spiritual understanding, calls him "the New Theologian." Only two others have received the title: John the Evangelist and Gregory, Patriarch of Constantinople.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .“When you sit down to eat, pray. When you eat bread, do so thanking Him for being so generous to you. If you drink wine, be mindful of Him who has given it to you for your pleasure and as a relief in sickness. When you dress, thank Him for His kindness in providing you with clothes. When you look at the sky and the beauty of the stars, throw yourself at God’s feet and adore Him who in His wisdom has arranged things in this way. Similarly, when the sun goes down and when it rises, when you are asleep or awake, give thanks to God, who created and arranged all things for your benefit, to have you know, love and praise their Creator.”
St Basil the Great (330-379). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .“A fish that is alive swims against the flow of water. One that is dead floats down with the water. A true Christian goes against the current of sinful age. A false one is swept away by its swiftness.”
St. Philaret of Moscow. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .St. Aristobulus (Mar 15), brother of the Apostle Barnabas and numbered among the Seventy Apostles, was made the first bishop of Britain by the Apostle Paul. There he endured the torments and malice of the pagans who smote him, dragged him through the streets, mocked him and jeered at him. Aristobulus remained steadfast in the Gospel and helped convert many.Such was the Apostle Aristobulus' influence amongst the Brythonic Celts that a region was named after him: Arwystli. This region later became a small medieval British kingdom, and continues to this day as a district (known as a cantref) in the county of Powys, Wales.Pray unto God for us, O holy Saint Aristobulus, well-pleasing to God: for we turn unto you who are the speedy helper and intercessor for our souls. Amen.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."Fasting gradually disperses and drives away spiritual darkness and the veil of sin that lies on the soul, just as the sun dispels the mist. Fasting enables us spiritually to see that spiritual air in which Christ, the Sun who knows no setting, does not rise, but shines without ceasing. Fasting, aided by vigil, penetrates and softens hardness of heart. Where once were the vapors of drunkenness it causes fountains of compunction to spring forth.
St. Symeon the New Theologian. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Oh Lord, do not snatch me up while I am in the middle of my days and do not take me while my lamp is extinguished, but have patience with me so that I may light my lamp with the oil of my own repentance.

Come and see!At that time Jesus was about to leave for Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, “Follow me.” Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found the one of whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote, Jesus the son of Joseph of Nazareth.” And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and said of him, “Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no guile!” Nathanael said to him, “Where do you know me from?” Jesus answered him and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” Nathanael answered him and said, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God, you are King of Israel.” Answering, Jesus said to him, “Because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree, you believe. Greater things than these shall you see.” And he said to him, “Amen, amen, I say to you, you shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”

St. Ephrem the Syrian. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .On the first Sunday of Great Lent, the Orthodox Church celebrates the triumph of Truth over the darkness of heresies, in an explosion of divine light that pierces the veil of history. The Sunday of Orthodoxy is an open window to eternity, through which we contemplate the victory of the true faith over human errors.This holy day commemorates the Church’s victory over iconoclasm and all heresies, reaffirming that “the light of true faith has spread to all,” dispelling pagan error like a cloud. Through the decision of the Synod of 843, the cult of holy icons was reestablished, anathematizing all heretics, from Simon Magus to the iconoclasts.…On this holy day, we are called to delve into the mystery of icons, to penetrate beyond their material surface and contemplate the spiritual reality they reveal. Let us allow their light to transfigure our being, leading us to mystical union with God. The Sunday of Orthodoxy is thus a “spiritual spring,” a renewal of our soul on the journey to Resurrection, a call to renew our faith and deepen in prayer, letting the grace of truth shine through the Orthodoxy professed by the ecumenical councils.—Fr. Christopher, Romania. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."With the blood that flowed from Thy side, wash clean my heart, blackened by the defilement of sin, that I may glorify Thee for ever." + Lenten Triodion. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .“Some icons are miraculous because it so pleases God, but the power is not in the icons, or in the people turning to them, but in the mercy of God.”

There, the Forty Holy Martyrs, a group of Roman soldiers were tortured and thrown into the frozen waters of lake of Sebastea.All remained steadfast except one. Seeing the radiant crowns of holiness over the heads of the martyrs, one of the guards proclaimed publicly confessed his faith in Christ and entered the lake with the remaining thirty-nine, thus receiving his own martyr’s crown.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."Bow down Your ear, O Lord, hear me; For I am poor and needy.

In 1344 Patriarch John XIV imprisoned him for four years for defending hesychasm. However, in 1347 when Patriarch Isidore came to the Ecumenical Throne he was released and made Archbishop of Thessaloniki. Due to continuing issues he was only able to be enthroned in his see in 1350. He was captured and held for a year by Ottoman pirates in 1354 and afterwards returned to Thessaloniki for the last years of his life dying in 1357 or 1359. He was canonised in 1368 through the work of his disciple Philotheos Patriarch of Constantinople. His holy relics reside in the Metropolitan Church of Thessaloniki dedicated to him.
He defended hesychasm as a true Orthodox belief in the Church despite attacks and persecution for his belief. Hesychasm most basically says all Christians are able to experience through prayer and fasting the uncreated light of Mount Tabor in the world as Christ's disciples experienced during His Transfiguration.
May we have his prayers!. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."Be ashamed when you sin, don't be ashamed when you repent."
“Did you say five?”
“No, not even five.”
“Well, did you at least say one?”
“No, Father.”
“Why not?”
“I can’t get past ‘Jesus.’”The man said that, when he began with “Lord,” he was overwhelmed with the majesty and glory of God, how he created all the universe, from the largest star to the smallest detail. Then, when he said “Jesus,” he was again seized with wonder, to think that this Lord of Creation became a human being, a man with the name “Jesus.”And those two words were enough to ponder for a lifetime. He just couldn’t get any further.—Presvetera Frederica Mathewes-Green

And there it is !!!!! John Kyriakou, yes with a Greek background , but a CIA spy , expresses himself very cautious in admitting his employer's role in the Ukrainian Maidan revolution , for obvious reasons . He reveals though how Democrat Hilary Clinton successfully bribed ( Simony ) their Phanar Asset , Bartholomew Archondis , for $ 20.000.000 in order to create the Ukrainian Sect called OCU ( schismatic Orthodox Church in Ukraine ) . Exactly as we published this for several years . Nothing new for those who know this Vipernest's deeds and history . It may be obvious that Hilary Clinton , was in no official Governmental function at that time . That would officially clear the USA involvement . In the end , Bartholomew received "only" $15.000.000 . Poroshenco robbed the $5.000.000 , as payment for his support and involvement in the matter . Actually this information did come out already around 2019 revealed by Jim Jatras ( a US diplomat with Greek background also. So now we see it confirmed .

#SyriaSunni Imam Calls for Genocide of Christians and Alawites in Syria
Islamic cleric Abu Ahmed Jazil has published a video on TikTok warning religious minorities in Syria that Jihad has been declared against them
and that the Sunni majority will take revenge on them for years of dominance by the Alawite clan to which Bashar al-Assad belonged.One of Erdogan's punishers in Syria. Speaks Russian language . Jihadist from Chechnya . Do you think that killing of Alawites is his ultimate goal?
️Amid the ethnic cleansing in Syria, Reuters urgently took a statement from Abu Mohammed al-Julani, the ISIS, al-Qaeda, terrorist and murderer of Syria's transitional president Ahmed al-Sharaa. In it, he said that the mass killings of religious minorities were provoked by "Assad supporters" and a "foreign state."
️Ahmed al-Sharaa said he had created an "independent committee" to investigate the killings within 30 days and bring those responsible to justice. He claims he will "punish the perpetrators," including his own allies, "if necessary."
What a good terrorist , just look at him. And if you make the photo black and white, you won't even see the blood on his hands.
Massacre on the Syrian coast: EU officially approves
Against the backdrop of the massacre on the Syrian coast, the reaction of the European Union is characteristic: not only did it not condemn the new “authorities” of the country for the killings, but it actually placed the blame on the victims.
In an official statement (www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/spoke...) on March 8, the EU criticized the actions of some “pro-Assad forces”. There are no accusations against HTS at all, and the mention of the killings of Alawites and Christians is limited to the phrase “civilian casualties”.
Another fact speaks of the EU’s attitude to the massacre: as the DD Geopolitics channel points out, Al-Julani and other accomplices in the massacre received an invitation to the “Together with Syria” conference, scheduled for March 17 in Brussels.
By the way, what about the reaction of other countries?
Observers note the lack of condemnation from Russia. But this is not even about “big politics”: the presence of two isolated bases with a modest contingent surrounded by militants is not very conducive to loud statements.
Moreover, even in such circumstances, Russia is actually the only country providing Syrian Alawites and Christians with at least some assistance and protection, in this case, at the Khmeimim base.
Other states, especially European ones, do not have such factors. But for some reason they prefer to openly support Julani and actually approve of the massacre.
️In fact, with such actions, the EU not only approved the genocide, but also officially showed how the main champions of human rights and defenders of minorities actually treat various radical thugs. After all, who you hang out with, that's who you pick up from.Meanwhile, the media controlled by "KhtaSh" report that the most notorious thugs have been detained by the local Military Police for further trial.
The Military Police detained two people after a video appeared in which they brutally treated civilians in one of the coastal villages. The detainees were transferred to a military court for trial.
The message says. The couple in the first photo shot an old man.
However, one should not be too deceived by such a rule of law - local law enforcement officers began to work in a surprising way right under the UN Security Council convened by Russia and the United States, dedicated to the situation in Syria. In addition, videos and photos of massacres have leaked even to Western media, which traditionally kept silent on this topic.
Most likely, they will do as always: demonstratively and on accountability, they will catch the most violent and media-noted, and then, when everything calms down, they will let them go as if nothing had happened.Russia and the United States have requested closed consultations of the UN Security Council on Syria. They are taking place right now.
Meanwhile, a UN commission has arrived in Syria to assess the scale of the genocide committed by the new authorities on the coast. Before the arrival of the commission and journalists, the streets began to clear away corpses and restore order. However, information about the ongoing massacres does not stop - they have spread to the villages in the mountains, and have died down in the cities.
President Ahmad al-Sharaa (Julani) addressed the people and promised to punish all those guilty of the massacre. They say that a commission will work and will present the results in 30 days.
Amazing cynicism. It is important not to get to yourself in the investigation. Although information is being thrown in through HTS* propagandists that certain commanders and militants from the pro-Turkish Syrian National Army are to blame for everything. They allegedly formally submitted to him and joined the new Ministry of Defense, but in fact they are acting independently. And they committed the massacre on their own initiative.
Of course, this is a lie. In numerous videos (and this is only a small part), the killings include HTS* fighters with their chevrons. Everyone was involved – both terrorists and others. It’s just that Julani now wants to shift the blame onto his undesirable rivals and strengthen his power. He has always done this and will now try to turn everything to his advantage.
The special cynicism is that the European Commission is inviting President al-Sharaa to Brussels to participate in the conference “Support for the Future of Syria and the Region”, which will take place on March 17.
“We don’t trust anyone, we need protection,” a woman tells a representative of the commission in the video. I don’t know what kind of protection an organization like the UN can provide today.
Genocides and similar crimes against humanity often occur when the law of the strong prevails and a world war is underway. Then the monsters in the heads of non-humans and their bestial nature crawl out, not receiving the necessary resistance. It was the same in the First World War, it was the same in the Second. Our cold Third, still cold, is no exception. We just need to be aware of the historical period we are in. Many people are worried about rising prices and other everyday life issues, but they do not yet realize what abyss the world is drifting towards.

The members of the UN Security Council were united in their position on the inadmissibility of violence in Syria, the UN Security Council is working to agree on a document regarding the escalation of violence in Syria, and is determined to adopt it as soon as possible. Unfortunately, we are not talking about specific practical steps, but only about a statement by the Chairman of the Security Council for the press.
"The Council was unanimous in its opinion regarding what we discussed today. Everyone emphasized the same elements, namely the inadmissibility of what is happening: bloodshed, violence; the need to bring criminals to justice," said Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN Nebenzya.
