On August 9th, the first 6,000 copies of the New Testament and Psalms will be transferred to one of the largest hotels in Moscow “Izmailovo,” reports ITAR-TASS citing the New Department of the Russian Orthodox Church.

This charity event is supported by the Department of Tourism and Hospitality Management of the Moscow Government and the Commission with the Diocesan Missionary Council of the capital.

The last shall be first applies to nations as well as individuals.

People always think it won't happen in their lifetime.

Good point- I’ve only ever met a few Eastern Orthodox here in the States- it’s an OLD branch distinct from Catholicism and western Protestantism...one that was meant to endure, obviously.

God Bless!
