{PDF EPUB} Grand Duchess Elizabeth of Russia by Lyubov Miller Grand Duchess Elizabeth of Russia: New Martyr of the Communist Yoke (L Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Grand Duchess Elizabeth of Russia by Lyubov Miller Grand Duchess Elizabeth of Russia: New Martyr of the Communist Yoke (L. Millar) To learn to be an Orthodox Christian is not just a manner of proper belief, but also of proper action. So it is not enough to study theology and read the right books. We also have the example of Orthodox saints who have struggled before us, and emulate their examples. I find the lives of modern saints particularly valuable in this regard- they are some challenges we face in modern times that those living in the early centuries A.D. never had to experience. St. Elizabeth the New-Martyr might be the most prominent of the 20th-century saints. Her life story is compelling, tragic, and thoroughly modern. She was a covert from the Lutheran church, a German noble wife of a Russian duke and sister of Empress Alexandra (wife of Tsar Nicolas II). St. Elizabeth lived and worked in the tumult of the First World War and the Russian Revolution. After the tragic death of her husband, St. Elizabeth left her life of privilege and comfort and instead became a nun, and founder of a unique monastic community that focused on healing the sick and helping the forgotten poor. Alas, she was killed shortly after the communists took control of Russia. St. Elizabeth the New Martyr does not appear much in secular history books, despite how close she was to the events of the Russian revolution. This is a pity, because her story is remarkable! There are a lot of valuable primary sources in this book. Since she was a royal, a lot of her letters to friends and family were preserved. These range from fanciful writings to her grandmother, Queen Victoria, as a young girl, to deeply profound spiritual meditations written later in her life. Ms. Millar reproduces a lot of these letters verbatim, and they are a wonderful personal perspective to life in the tumultuous late 19th and early 20th centuries, and also a unique glimpse as to how the thinking of a Godly woman matures from childhood to martyrdom. Ms. Millar also provides documents about the running of her Sts. Martha and Mary convent, and the tireless work the sisters did on behalf of the poor and ignored. Liubov Millar has written a wonderful biography. I love how much joy permeates the pages of this book, which on the fact of it, tells a really tragic story. St. Elizabeth grew up as a princess, is widowed at a young age, has everything she built and worked for destroyed by the communists, and ends up dead in an abandoned mine pit. We see the raw pain that she goes through, but also how it compels her to go out and heal the suffering of those around her. We feel the cruelty of her tormentors, but also the depth and sincerity of her forgiveness. I feel privileged to be able to read this story 20 years after the end of the cold war, to read in the book’s epilogue how her labors of love and kindness inspire imitators today in Russia and in the whole world, while the Soviet Union has become a forgotten relic. In our age, where the forces of cruelty and violence seem no less formidable than in St. Elizabeth’s time, her story is a crucial reminder that God is still sovereign, and those seemingly futile acts of faith, hope, and love will win out in the end. St. Elizabeth’s story is one that all Orthodox Christians should know, and Ms. Millar’s book is a wonderful account. Grand Duchess Elizabeth of Russia. Book Description Condition: Very Good.

Seller Inventory # 1879066041-2-4. Grand Duchess Ella. The life and work of Grand Duchess Ella (Elizabeth Fyodorovna of Russia) continue to resonate in Russian society. The elder sister of the Tsarina shared her fate at the hands of the Bolsheviks, a sad and premature end to a life dedicated to helping the less fortunate.Christopher Warwick’s acclaimed new biography of Ella sheds new light on a remarkable woman, writes Jonathan Taylor. Ella’s deep religious devotion, her sacrifices for the Russian people and her violent murder eventually led to her canonisation by the Russian Orthodox Church in 2001. A shrine to her memory exists at the Martha and Mary Convent, which she founded in Moscow in the years after her husband’s assassination. She is also distinguished as one of the ten 20th-century martyrs from across the world depicted in statues above the Great West Door of Westminster Abbey, London. Ella was born on November 1, 1864, the second child of Grand Duke Louis IV of Hesse and Princess Alice of Great Britain, Queen Victoria’s third child. Louis and Alice’s children were destined to marry amongst Europe’s most powerful royal families. Apart from the future Tsarina Alix and Ella marrying into the Romanov dynasty, their sisters Princess Victoria of Hesse and Princess Irene both married well. Victoria to the minor German prince, Louis Alexander Mountbatten, 1st Marquess of Milford Haven; Princess Irene to Prince Albert Wilhelm Heinrich of Prussia, younger brother of Kaiser Wilhelm II. Alix and Ella, who would both become deeply religious as they grew older, were marked by the loss of theiry oungest sister Marie and their mother. The cause of the tragedy was diptheria, which swept through the Hesse household in the winter of 1878, killing Marie and a few weeks later Princess Alice. Ella was fortunate not to be in Hesse at the time and was the only member of the family not affected by the outbreak. (Above) Ella’s rooms in the Convent of Saints Martha and Mary were located in the low building. This school room is now a chapel dedicated to Ella’s memory. (Top) 23 April 1894. The Newly engaged, ‘Nicky’ Tsarevich Nikolai Romanov and ‘Alix’ Princess Alexandra of Hesse (back row left), photographed in Darmstadt with Victoria, Princess Louis of Battenberg, Ernie,Grand Duke of Hesse,Irene (front row left), Ella, Victoria Melita (‘Ducky’, Ernie’s first wife) and Grand Duke Serge. Ella married before Alix, to Grand Duke Sergei Romanov in 1884. Sergei was the fifth son of Tsar Alexander II. However, the marriage was not a happy one, possibly partly due to the fact of Sergei’s alleged homosexuality. Russian high society was becoming more tolerant regarding sexuality, and Sergei did not hide his, but Ella’s upbringing and nature were conservative and she struggled to come to terms with her husband, a rather harsh character who was in political matters a reactionary. The pivotal moment in Ella’s lifecame in 1905 when autocracy in the shape of Sergei in his role as Commander of the Moscow Military was confronted by revolutionary terrorism. Ivan Kalyayev, a young socialist-revolutionary,carried out the Grand Duke’s assassination on February 17,1905. It was a brutally simple murder – a bomb was thrown into Sergei’s coach as he and his coachman neared the official residence in the Moscow Kremlin. It was a gruesome sight – Sergei’s body was shattered by the blast and days later body parts were still being found in the vicinity. Kalyayev was arrested immediately. Days later the grief stricken Ella visited her husband’s murderer in the hope of persuading him to repent so that his soul would be saved. He refused and was subsequently hanged on May 23, 1905. There is no doubt that the loss of her husband affected Ella profoundly, in a sense she spent the rest of her life in mourning. Yet her almost morbid response to the murder spurred her into action and in some respects softened her character. Tragedy brought Ella’s humanity out and her inner strength proved to be remarkable. Grand Duchess Ella withdrew from a world she found unbearably cruel – she gave away her jewellery, sold many of her possessions and became a nun. With the proceeds she opened the ‘Convent of Saints Martha and Mary’ in Moscow and for many years helped the city’s poor and its orphans. Ella’s mission of mercy developed into a new vision of a diaconate for women. In April 1909 Ella and seventeen women were dedicated as Sisters of Love and Mercy. Their work flourished and soon they opened a hospital and a variety of other philanthropic ventures arose.

Kulikovsky and his wife Ludmila visited Vyatka. They were invited by the regional public organization "Revival of Vyatka". Paul E. Kulikovsky - "Kirov, or Vyatka as we prefer to call the city, was one of the places on our "to-visit-list", as we want to visit all the places in Russia directly related to the Romanovs, and especially those in which the Romanovs were in exile after the revolution. That is why first of all were visited Romanov related locations and city landmarks. But for the local citizens the main event was a presentation of the book of memoirs of Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna “25 Chapters of my life”, followed by a press- conference. City history The city is actually called Kirov - in honour of one of the Stalin co- workers – Sergei Kirov killed in 1934 – but many citizens still use the historical name Vyatka. It was established in 1174. From 1457 to 1780 it was called Khlynov, from 1780 to 1934 Vyatka, and now Kirov. It is the administrative centre of the Kirov region and located on the Vyatka River, 896 km northeast of Moscow. Population is about 507,155 (2018).

    Romanov News Новости Романовых By Paul Kulikovsky №78 October 2014 150 years since the birth of Holy Martyr Grand Duchess Elisabeth Feodorovna By Paul Kulikovsky Born on 1st of November (old style 20 October) 1864, Her Grand Ducal Highness Princess Elisabeth Alexandra Louise Alice of Hessen and by Rhine, was the second child of Grand Duke Ludwig IV of Hessen and by Rhine and British Princess Alice. Through her mother, she was a granddaughter of Queen Victoria. Princess Alice chose the name "Elisabeth" for her daughter after visiting the shrine of St. Elisabeth of Hungary, ancestress of the House of Hessen. Elisabeth was known as "Ella" within her family. In the autumn of 1878, diphtheria swept through the Hessen household, killing Elisabeth's youngest sister, Marie on 16 November, as well as her mother Alice on 14 December. Elisabeth was considered by many contemporaries as one of the most beautiful women in Europe at that time. Many became infatuated with Elisabeth, but it was Russian Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich who ultimately won Elisabeth's heart. Sergei and Elisabeth married on 15 (3) June 1884, at the Chapel of the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. She became Grand Duchess Elisabeth Feodorovna. “Everyone fell in love with her from the moment she came to Russia from her beloved Darmstadt”, wrote one of Sergei's cousins. The couple settled in the Beloselsky-Belozersky Palace in St. Petersburg, but after Sergei was appointed Governor-General of Moscow by his elder brother, Tsar Alexander III, in 1892, they resided in the Governor palace. During the summer, they stayed at Ilyinskoe, an estate outside Moscow that Sergei had inherited from his mother.

She possessed an extremely delicate and multifaceted spiritual composition and her outward appearance reflected the beauty and greatness of her spirit. Upon her brow lay the seal of an inborn, elevated dignity which set her apart from those around her. Under the cover of modesty, she often strove, though in vain, to conceal herself from the gaze of others, but one could not mistake her for another. Wherever she appeared, one would always ask: “Who is she who looketh forth as the morning, clear as the sun” (Song of Solomon 6:10)? Wherever she would go she emanated the pure fragrance of the lily. Perhaps it was for this reason that she loved the color white—it was the reflection of her heart. All of her spiritual qualities were strictly balanced, one against another, never giving an impression of one-sided- ness. Femininity was joined in her to a courageous character; her goodness never led to weakness and blind, unconditional trust of people. Even in her finest heartfelt inspirations she exhibited that gift of discernment which has always been so highly esteemed by Christian ascetics.

    A PILGRIMAGE FROM THE BRITISH ISLES TO THE TSAR’S GOLGOTHA 14th – 22nd of July 2018 by Maria Harwood, Chairman of GDERS, UK (edited by J.M.Harwood and D.J.Gilchrist) In memory of the centenary of the martyrdom of the last Romanovs, the Grand Duchess Elizabeth Romanov Society in the UK organised a pilgrimage to Moscow, Ekaterinburg, Alapaevsk and Tobolsk. This pilgrimage, which took place from 14th to 22nd July 2018, was a continuation of the commemorative events on the Isle of Wight, near the Palace of Queen Victoria (Osborne House), where the monument to the Russian Imperial Family and to the Grand Duchess Elizabeth was solemnly unveiled. The pilgrimage started in Moscow in the recently built church of the New Martyrs of Russia at Sretensky Monastery, where part of our group prayed during the Vigil service on Saturday 14th July, before flying to Ekaterinburg next morning. In Ekaterinburg we were met by a representative from the Church of All the Saints of Russia, the “Church on the Blood”, our guide Natalia, who conveyed greetings to us from the dean of the church, Father Maxim. Our spiritual leader was Archpriest Andrew Phillips of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, the rector of St. John of Shanghai church in Colchester, a well-known church historian. In May 2018, he had established a new Orthodox community in Kent, dedicated to the Holy Royal Martyrs of Russia. To venerate the “Tsar’s Golgotha” in Ekaterinburg was his long-time dream. We arrived just one and half days before the central event of the Ekaterinburg commemorative programme – the Liturgy at the Church on the Blood (built on the site of the Ipatiev House where the Imperial Family were imprisoned and executed by Bolsheviks,), to the mineshaft called Ganina Yama (Gania’s Pit) where some remains of the Martyrs were found.

Îmbisericirea inimii Psalmi interpretați 18/2015 ARTHOS este un proiect firesc prin care activitatea misionară desfăşurată la Biserica Studenților din Campusul Universitar Hasdeu, din Cluj-Napoca, primeşte o nouă dimensiune a exprimării, un nou mijloc de co- muniune şi de comunicare. Echipa redacţională este alcătuită, în general, din simpli mireni, care, sub binecuvântare, lucrează pentru a pune în lumina tiparului cuvinte duhovniceşti tot mai puţin actualizate în discuţiile şi polemicile zilnice. De asemenea, fotografiile, desenele şi picturile originale reprezintă şi ele o cale de a atinge cu valori perene schimbătorul imaginar comun. Revista ARTHOS este un tânăr proiect duhovnicesc care are nevoie de mari ocrotitori care să acopere lipsurile noastre. Pe Drumul Crucii e nevoie de rugăciune, iar pentru paginile revistei ridicăm gândurile noastre în primul rând către Sfântul Mare Mucenic Dimitrie, Izvorâtorul de Mir, cel care izvorăşte curaj în inimile noastre. Sfântul Mare Mucenic Dimitrie este apărător şi scut al revistei ARTHOS, având credinţa că fără acest sfânt nu s-ar fi închegat voinţa comună a celor din redacţie.

    BRINGING HISTORY INTO ACCORD WITH THE FACTS IN THE TRADITION OF DR. HARRY ELMER BARNES The Barnes Review A JOURNAL OF POLITICALLY INCORRECT HISTORY HIDDEN HISTORY VOLUME XXIV NUMBER 4 JULY/AUGUST 2018 WWW.BARNESREVIEW.COM The Secret Origins of the First World War ere’s a new theory on how World War I started—not with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, but rather 10 years earlier, by power-hungry men whose Hlies have infiltrated history. Thomas W. Lamont noted that, “as a result of four years of war and global devastation, the national debts of the world have increased by $210 billion or about 475%.” Historian Alan Brugar pointed out that “for every soldier who died in battle in World War I, the international bankers made a profit of $10,000.” Hidden History uniquely exposes those responsible for World War I. It reveals how accounts of the war’s origins have been deliberately falsified to conceal the guilt of the secret cabal of very rich and powerful men in London responsible for the most heinous crime perpetrated on humanity. For 10 years, they plotted the destruction of Germany as part of their plan for global control. The assassination of the archduke was no chance happening. It lit a fuse that had been carefully set through a chain of command stretching from Sarajevo through Belgrade and St. Petersburg back to the banking cabal in London. Our understanding of these events has been firmly trapped in a web of duplicity constructed by the victors. Now find out who and how the financial movers and shakers of the era or- chestrated and funded the war to make profits and establish complete control over the governments of the world.

The main event was the presentation of a new tourist and pilgrim route - the "Elizabethan route in Moscow" and the route "Moscow- Ural-Siberia". On May 24-29 the Forum continued its work in Ural land. Delegates became pilgrims on the Elizabethan route "Moscow-Ural-Siberia", which was held in places of memory of the Royal Martyrs and St. Elizabeth Feodorovna in Yekaterinburg, Verkhoturye, Alapaevsk, and Tobolsk. Yekaterinburg On May 24, the day started with a prayer service in the lower church in the Church on Blood in Honor of All Saints Resplendent in the Russian Land, for a successful pilgrimage in Yekaterinburg. Then followed a tour of the lower church and - the upper (despite the upper church was closed for restoration). From the former Governor's mansion in Tobolsk the Imperial Family was moved to the Ipatiev House in Yekaterinburg. The Romanovs would be held as prisoners in their final residence for 78 days. In the early hours of July 17, 1918, Emperor Nicholas Alexandrovich, Alexandra Feodorovna, the Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia and Tsarevich Alexei, with their most loyal servants, were taken to the basement of the Ipatiev House and were murdered by being shot and bayoneted. In 1974, the mansion was designated a "national monument", but three years later on September 22, 1977, a team, under orders from the Soviet government, demolished the house.
