~LORD HAVE MERCY!~
Today is Christmas Day (Jan. 7th) in Russia. They follow the old calendar. (the Julian Calendar)
My sister-in-law, Lena just sent this to me.
“This Christmas Eve some people committed a terrible crime in a little Russian village. Right after the Christmas service in a little local church when all the people left 2 men killed the priest to get an expensive icon from the church. And then they made a fire to burn the body in the church. I was just shocked… What’s happening with people in this world? I am very upset, what’s going on with Russia…
The Police found the criminals right away. The priest had a wife and 4 kids.
Here is a video, where they show the church and the icons. The woman wearing the black scarf is the presvytera. She said that he worked for 2 years at that parish and his first service was on Christmas two years ago and the last one was the same day…”
Please pray for this priestly family and all the people of Russia!

I see he is the second priest to be murdered in Russia in the last few weeks. The other priest’s family was also murdered. http://news.monstersandcritics.com/europe/features/article_1231961.php/Russian_priests_death_puts_limelight_on_depopulated_village

Lord have mercy! May that priest’s memory be eternal!
Lord have mercy! This just breaks my heart!
Wow, that’s terrible news. It’s an unstable part of the world, for sure, but killings like that are just senseless.
