About the book: 2017 / The twentieth century in the history of the Russian Orthodox Church turned out to be a period of great testing. It was a time of martyrdom for millions of Christians. But, despite the darkness of apostasy and the trampling of the Law of God, our Lord Jesus Christ, through ineffable mercy, strengthened His Church, revealing to us great saints of God. The book includes biographies of saints and devotees of piety of the Russian, Greek and a number of foreign Orthodox Churches.
