While driving south with copies of his book, Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future, (which critiqued modern spiritual deceptions), Saint Seraphim of Platina stopped partway up Mount Shasta—at a site known for neo-pagan festivals—and sang Paschal chants celebrating Christ’s Resurrection and victory over Satan and death. A recurring thought came to him: that an Orthodox priest should bless the mountain with holy water. After his ordination to the priesthood in 1977, he returned. He sang services (including the Typica), sprinkled holy water at multiple spots on the mountain, and effectively reclaimed it for Christ in a form of spiritual warfare against its reputation as a hub for neo-paganism, shamanism, UFO lore, and other occult/New Age activity.

The incorrupt relics of Saint Alexander of Svir who reposed 492 years ago. He is one of the few Saints who was granted a vision of the Holy Trinity.

Outside of any of the other controversies, this line from Father Stephen De Young to Tucker Carlson on the pornography problem is massive. "All men and most women."

Something many people might not know is that Father Zechariah Lynch lifts weights. One Orthodox guy I know who is a fellow Marine Corps vet has said that he encourages all clergy to get into a gym routine of some kind for their personal health and well-being.

Seeing the rise of Goth-odoxy has been interesting. It's like American Orthodox churches are simply capturing any subculture and claiming them. It's like, "Hey, come into the Church with your weirdness and just believe what we teach."

This Russian priest nails it on profanity and obscenity coming from demons. And the history of cuss words being associated with Paganistic sexual perversion in Slavic languages, like Russian, is no less true in Germanic languages, like English.
