A mass Baptism was recently celebrated in the waters of the Chulman River in the far eastern Yakutia Republic in Russia.
His Eminence Archbishop Roman of Yakutsk celebrated the holy Sacrament for more than 100 people on Sunday July 15 in the village of Chulman, which sits along the Chulman River, reports the site of the Yakutsk Diocese.
The Orthodox Church is rapidly growing in the Chulman. Last summer, on the feast of St. Vladimir on July 28, Abp. Roman baptized more than 200 people into the Church.
The faithful then made their way to the river where the archbishop baptized more than 100 people into the Body of Christ. The newly-illumined had been preparing for several weeks to receive the holy grace of regeneration and to begin their new lives in Christ.
Hey Fr.,
Have you ever thought about haveing a Journey to Orthodoxy podcast on AFR? There is a similar program in Catholicism that airs and showcases people who have converted to the RCC. I think it would be really cool to do something like this for Orthodoxy
Yes. Please let them know you want one.
