    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.

  • Journal & Guide
    Journal & Guide Date:_________________ Name:________________________ Welcome to the journey of a lifetime... walking in the footsteps of Jesus... I have had the privilege to lead several trips to the Holy Land. Each journey brings new discoveries and a deeper appreciation for this land and its people. Israel is unique because it belongs to no other than God Himself. So, in that spirit, consider yourself invited to the Holy land with a Hebrew welcome “Baruch Haba B’Shem Adonai”, “Blessed his he/she who comes in the name of the Lord”. One of the greatest joys is witnessing the transformation in the lives of those who make the Journey. You will see the places you have studied in the Bible; you will walk in the places where Jesus and his disciples lived and taught, and you will see biblical prophecy fulfilled in the miracle that is the land of Israel. It will give you an entirely new perspective on the word of God, and it will renew your faith in the promises of God. ALIYAH is a Hebrew word meaning to ‘go up’ or ‘to return’. I believe that many faithful Christians are being called from around the world to reconnect to the land where their faith was born. I believe that God has spoken to your heart and has something very special to reveal to you. This journey is meant to be life-changing and we will all come to realize that we will never be the same. Shalom, Paul Klassen ISRAELI TRAVELERS BLESSING/PRAYER May it be Your will, Lord our God and God of our fathers, that You should lead us in peace and direct our steps in peace, and guide us in peace, and support us in peace, and cause us to reach our destination in life, health, joy, and peace and return us in peace.
