Преподобная Анастасия Киевская (аудио). Вопросы Веры и Фомы

This time, our heroes, Vera and Foma, and their faithful dog, Altai, will embark on a new journey with Dr. Mikhail Gavrilovich's granddaughter, who, on her first day of work, received a surprising gift—an icon of Saint Anastasia of Kiev. In the worldly realm, Saint Anastasia of Kiev was Alexandra Petrovna of Oldenburg—princess, grand duchess, and aunt of Emperor Nicholas II, who dedicated her entire life to serving people. While paralyzed, she founded the Holy Protection Monastery in Kyiv, which included a hospital, a pharmacy, a school, and shelters for orphans, the blind, and the terminally ill. This monastery became the prototype for the famous Martha and Mary Convent. Journeying through the pages of the life of this remarkable woman—Saint Anastasia of Kyiv—we will learn: — Why did a girl from the wealthiest family in Europe choose the path of a nurse, and why was she called the "fool at court"? — How the young Princess Alexandra, having converted to Orthodoxy, married the Grand Duke and began a life of mercy; — How one night, banished from her home, she suffered a terrible accident and was forever confined to a wheelchair; — How, confined to a wheelchair, Anastasia of Kiev rose to her feet after praying before the Pochayiv Icon. The program's protagonists will learn the meaning of "love above law," how prayer and work can transform even the most bitter fate, and they will understand that true nobility is measured not by titles, but by deeds. ______ All episodes of "Questions of Vera and Foma" in one playlist:    • Вопросы Веры и Фомы, или Чай с вареньем   All episodes of the audio encyclopedia "Questions of Vera and Foma" on our website: https://veraifoma.ru/encyclopedia "Vera and Foma" on social media: VKontakte "To School with Vera and Foma" - https://vk.com/verafoma Telegram "To School with Vera and Foma" - https://t.me/verafoma Yandex.Zen "To School with Vera and Foma" - https://zen.yandex.ru/id/609aae805d3e...
