Today we celebrate the Venerable Alexander of Svir. Saint Alexander is considered one of the holiest saints of recent times in the Russian Orthodox Church, being the only person since Abraham to have the Holy Trinity appear to him in the form of Three Angels. His life of holiness, prayer, asceticism and strict fasting allowed the Lord to grant him many gifts, including wonder working. His completely incorrupt relic lies at his monastery in Svir. May he intercede for us all + #saint #alexander #svir #russia #russian #saintalexander #trinity #holytrinity #abraham #threeangels #angel #angels #apparition #incorrupt #relic #relics #monastery #ascetic #asceticism #prayer #love #God #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Leningrad Oblast) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch2921iPxN6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Yesterday we celebrated the Hieromartyr Alexander of Comana. Saint Alexander initially wanted to hide his virtue by acting as a fool-for-Christ, but he was soon found out and was elected Bishop of Comana. He guided his flock in prayer and humility, but was soon captured under the Roman Emperor Diocletian who had him executed. May he intercede for us all + #saint #alexander #comana #bishop #saintalexander #fool #foolforchrist #christ #jesus #jesuschrist #diocletian #romanemperor #rome #emperor #roman #martyr #orthodox #sophia

A Pen Sketch. . I started with a motif to do another watercolor, but for now I have settled in for the sketch that has come out. I scanned it and converted to a sepia tone. What's your favourite cathedral ? Maybe it can inspire for another sketch. And yes, I didn't do it in Bulgaria, रहे made it at my comfort on my home in Hong Kong. #saintalexander #saintalexandernevsky #sofia #sofiabulgaria #bulgaria #penart #art #artistic #architecture #church #cathedral #nevsky #perspective #perspectivedrawing #penonpaper @artist_featuring_artists @aria.ig.artist @art.ig @art_toinspire @worldofartists @creative_art_world @artstrending (at Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Sofia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnWdHs8FgfY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lrnc0s2rhbiy
