The spiritual fathers of Optina Monastery who renewed Russian monasticism and spiritual direction. Celebrated on October 11th, these elders (including Sts. Moses, Anthony, Hilarion, Macarius, and Ambrose) guided thousands of pilgrims from all walks of life. Writers like Dostoevsky and Tolstoy sought their counsel. They represent the flowering of Orthodox spiritual guidance in 19th century Russia.

What is the Orthodox Church?

“The Orthodox Christian Church is evangelical, but not Protestant.
It is orthodox, but not Jewish. It is catholic, but not Roman.
It is not denominational, it is pre-denominational.
It has believed, taught, preserved, defended, and died for the
Faith of the Apostles since the Day of Pentecost nearly 2,000 years ago.”
