The film, called “The Story of One Love”, is about the life of the large family of Archpriest Andrew Dziuba and his Presbytera Helen was made in the Volyn Diocese of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, reports Pravoslavna.volyn.ua.

“The life of this family is amazing, because 14 children were born and are being brought up here. The family is an example of courage, strong faith in God and correct life,” the report says.

The large family lives in the village of Lyubyaz, in the Volyn region. Archpriest Andrew has been serving in the local church for 16 years.

In the film, the priest and his wife talk about how they met each other, the difficulties of the first years of family life, and about joys and difficulties of having many children.

Priest Stepan Yarema became the initiator of the film. The shooting took place with the blessing of Archbishop Nathaniel of Volyn and Lutsk and with the support of Archpriest Pyotr Bazyuk, Chairman of the diocesan Department for Family Affairs.

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.
