In honor of the 45th Anniversary of the Glorification of Saint Herman of Alaska, an exhibition—“Russian America: The Alaskan Native Spiritual Legacy”—will open at Villanova University here on January 22, 2016.

The exhibition, which runs through May 16, was organized by Archpriest John J. Perich, Curator of the Metropolitan Museum of the Orthodox Church in America and Saint Tikhon’s Monastery and Seminary Icon Repository, South Canaan, PA, and the Rev. Richard G. Cannuli, OSA, Villanova University Art Gallery.  Artifacts on display reflect the various native American peoples of Alaska, their culture and the spiritual legacy of the Russian Orthodox Church.

An opening reception will be held at the Villanova University Art Gallery, Connelly Center, 800 Lancaster Avenue, Villanova, PA on January 22 from 5:00 until 7:00 p.m.

Detailed information on the exhibition may be found at www.ArtGallery.Villanova.edu and www1.villanova.edu/villanova/studentlife/artgallery/current_exhibit.html.

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
