Dear friends, Thank you for you contribution to the subject. Can somebody explain,is the town of St.Helen in MidEngland somehow connected to St.Helen, mother of Konstantine the Great? Today I would like to share my thoughts on my stay at Glastonbury. What I saw there really impressed me deeply. If early I thought that in 1917 Russia had gone through tragedy of distruction of the Orthodox church that no other nation had never ever gone in the past I understood that I was wrong when I saw the ruins of the Glastonbury Abbey, that once had ranked only second after the Westminster Abbey. Its debries now mirrow our faith in Christ, The Son of The God. No matter how eloquent may be our priests and pastors who speak on His behalf. The God is so merciful to us, living in Russia. He has given us time and chance to realise how sinful and traitorous we have been and gives us the chance of the Nineviteans. When I was looking at the ruined church I realised the enormous tragedy that Russia could have not survived. When people ask each other: how could God be so pitiless to allow his people suffer so badly? they do not realize how we ourselves turn a deaf ear to what He says to us. Read Gildas Sapiens, called a British Jeremiah of VI c. and his De exidio Britannie or The Refutation of the Patriarh Nikon of XVII c. to find the answer. There is no nation, race, tribe or individual who may say : "We are without sin among you" and throw a stone at others.
