If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky,
that would be like the splendour of the Mighty One...

Vox Populi, Vox Dei !
Elon And The Felon
Mark 15
6 Now, at that (Passover) feast, (the Roman governor of Judea) released unto (the Jews) one prisoner, whomsoever they desired. 7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
9 Pilate answered them, saying: Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews ? 10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered (Christ) for envy. 11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. 15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

The Czar Formerly Known As Prince
_(cropped).jpg)
John 12:31
Now is the judgment of this world:
Now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
John 167 If I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you;
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin,
and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

Orthodox Christianity: Mortally Wounding Its Opponents Since 363 AD
Saint Basil the Great, whose feast is celebrated on New Year's Day, once prayed before an icon of the Most Holy Theotokos, upon which Saint Mercurius was depicted as a soldier holding a spear.
He asked God not to permit the emperor Julian the Apostate to return from his war against the Persians and resume his oppression of Christians. The image of the holy Great Martyr Mercurius, depicted on the icon beside the image of the Most Holy Theotokos, became invisible. It reappeared later with a bloodied spear.
At this very moment Julian the Apostate, on his Persian campaign, was wounded by the spear of an unknown soldier, who immediately disappeared. The mortally wounded Julian, as he lay dying, cried out, “Thou hast conquered, O Galilean !”

A Putrid Christmas, And A Rotten New Year !
Like a second Herod, Putin the Pious saw fit to brutally mock and viciously destroy an entire country, by drowning it in senseless bloodshed and unspeakable violence, smearing it with the stench of death and despair, defiling it with the dismembered and decomposing corpses of its defenseless women and innocent children, whose lost lives and shattered limbs, as globes and tinsel upon Christmas trees, now adorn its once beautiful landscape.

Prayer For The Ukraine
Arise, O Lord, and judge thine own cause ! Incline thine ears to our prayers !
For foxes have arisen, seeking to destroy the vineyard, whose winepress thou alone hast trod.
The wild boar from the forest seeketh to destroy it, and every wild beast feedeth upon it.

In This Sign, Conquer
Psalm 151
1 I was small among my brethren, and youngest in my father's house. 5 My brothers were great and handsome; but the Lord was not pleased with them. 6 I went forth to meet the Philistine; and he cursed me by his idols. 7 But I drew his own sword, and beheaded him, and removed reproach from the children of Israel.Troparion of the Holy Cross
Lord, save Your people and bless Your inheritance, granting our rulers to prevail over adversaries, and protecting Your commonwealth by Your cross.

On (Dis)Honoring One's Parents
The throne of Kiev held a dominant position in Ancient Rus. This had been the custom since the late ninth century. The Tale of Bygone Years captured for posterity the words of Oleg the Prophet about Kiev: May it be the mother of all Russian cities.

On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians
Exodus 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
Deuteronomy 5:16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
Deuteronomy 21:18 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them; 19 Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; 21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die; so shalt thou put evil away from among you.
Matthew 15:4 For God commanded, saying: Honour thy father and mother; and: He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
Mark 7:10 For Moses said: Honour thy father and thy mother; and: Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
