На следующее утро, въ самый день праздника Крещенія Господня, Первоіерархъ Русской Зарубежной Церкви, Высокопреосвященнѣйшій митрополитъ Восточно-Американскій и Нью-Іоркскій Иларіонъ, прибылъ въ Краснобреговѣ въ Св.

On Monday, January 18, the eve of the feast of the Epiphany of Our Lord, Vespers with Liturgy and the Great Blessing of the Water were served by the parish clergy in St. George’s Church. That evening, worshipers gathered in St. Nicholas Church for the Great Compline and Matins. The following morning, on the very day of the feast, the First Hierarch of the Russian Church Abroad, His Eminence Hilarion, Metropolitan of Eastern American and New York, arrived at St. Nicholas Church in Red Bank and celebrated the Divine Liturgy. His Eminence was co-served by the rector, Fr. Serge, Archpriest Joseph Lickwar (rector of Sts. Peter & Paul Church in Jersey City, NJ), and the parish clergy: Priest Jonah and Deacon Leonid. During the Little Entrance, in accordance with a resolution of the ROCOR Synod, Fr. Serge was awarded the right to wear the jeweled cross. Upon completion of the Liturgy, the Metropolitan performed the rite of the Great Blessing of the Water and led a procession through the city to the Navesink River. On the riverbank, His Eminence proclaimed the festal Gospel reading, blessed the river waters and released a white dove. The Metropolitan then gave his blessing to two servants of God from Kursk to jump into the Navesink River, continuing an old Russian tradition. Simultaneously, the clergy and parish children released doves over the river, representative of the Holy Spirit, Who descended upon the Savior in the Jordan. After the procession, Metropolitan Hilarion greeted the parishioners with the great feast and noted how pleasant it was to see that old Russian Theophany customs continue to be performed abroad. In his response, Fr. Serge thanked His Eminence for his hierarchal visit to Red Bank and presented him with a new white miter on behalf of the parish. He also presented a copy of the Kursk Mother of God to the warden of St. George’s Church, John Rimakis, on the occasion of his namesday. A bountiful luncheon was held in the parish hall.

What is the Orthodox Church?

The Eastern Orthodox Church is the Church that Jesus Christ established in Palestine 2,000 years ago.

The Christianity that we in America and Europe know is that which moved from the Middle East, where Christianity began, to the West; to Rome, Europe, and America. We know how the faith and practice in these western lands changed, leading eventually to the Protestant Reformation. Later non-denominational Churches also tried to determine from the Bible what the Ancient Church “must” have been like. Unhappily, different people reading the same Bible understand it differently, and now there are hundreds of quite different denominations of Churches in the West.

But what happened to Christianity in the East, where Jesus Christ established it? What of the Christians in Jerusalem, in Alexandria, Antioch, and Constantinople – all of the major centers of the Faith other than Rome in the earliest years of Christianity? All of them were founded directly by the Apostles, blessed to do so by Jesus Christ. Did these Christians follow along the same road as the Roman Church?

Western teachings of Purgatory, the selling of “indulgences” to get out of Purgatory, the Supremacy of the Pope, the infallibility of the Pope, the subtle change of the fundamental statement of Christian Faith (the Creed) of the early Church, none of these “innovations” of the Roman Church were ever accepted or taught in the East. There was no Protestant Reformation in the East, because there was no need for one. No one had to break away, or try to decipher from the Bible what the New Testament Church probably would have been like before the Roman Church changed it, because in the East, it hadn’t changed. There was no need to resurrect the ancient Faith, because in the East, it never died!

The Church that Jesus Christ founded in the East is still alive, still filled and guided by the Holy Spirit, still maintains an unbroken, living connection straight back to the Apostles, and to Jesus Christ Himself.

We invite you to explore this Church, and to join us!
