Metropolitan Tikhon to open Villanova Exhibit February 8

The exhibit, titled “Blood & Soul: The Russian Revolutions of 1917,” will run at Villanova University’s Falvey Memorial Library through September 1.  The exhibit is open to the public.

Metropolitan Tikhon will celebrate a Memorial for the Revolutions’ victims at Corr Hall Chapel at 4:00 p.m.  The exhibit will officially open one hour later.  The Imperial Icon of the Feodorovskaya Mother of God will be present during the service.

Co-curators of the exhibit are Archpriest John J. Perich, Curator of the Metropolitan Museum of the Orthodox Church in America, South Canaan, PA, and the Rev. Richard G. Cannuli, Curator of the University’s Art Gallery.

“The exhibit will include a number of Saint Tikhon’s personal items, including his family icon, vestments, relics from Moscow’s Donskoy Monastery, and other items related to his tenure as Bishop and later Archbishop in North America, where he served before his election as Patriarch of Moscow in 1917,” said Father John.  “Throughout the duration of the exhibit, several lectures and guest talks on Patriarch Tikhon and other important personalities of the time will be offered, together with a number of documentary films.”

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
