When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped.
Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself.
A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.
Nikola Tesla, one of the world’s greatest inventors, was born and raised Orthodox. His father, Milutin Tesla, was a respected Serbian Orthodox priest, writer, and teacher.
Nikola Tesla once confided that he prayed to God on his bare knees every night from his youth.

This attack tonight on the Monastery by the Russians in Kyiv makes no sense. It has a parallel with the bombing of London’s St. Paul’s in 1940 by the Germans. It won’t work. Someone tell me the military necessity of the Russian attack. There is none.
My recruitment is 100% shut down. I am committing to the University of Pittsburgh to continue the legacy. I would like to thank God, my parents, teammates, coaches, and everyone who has supported me along this journey. Hail to Pitt!!
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Patr. Theophilos III of Jerusalem (@JPatriarchate) met with U.S. President Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) in Washington on June 4, 2026, to discuss the protection of Christian communities and holy sites in the Holy Land, with a focus on preserving freedom of worship and maintaining the long-standing arrangements governing Jerusalem’s sacred spaces.
During the meeting, the Patriarch awarded President Trump the “Grand Cross of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre,” one of the highest honors of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem. The decoration is closely tied to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and reflects the Patriarchate’s custodial role over key Christian holy sites.
@BaptistBen316 Ben. Are you that clueless? Listen to what you just said. You just called Christianity a cult?? The Orthodox Church is the original church as handed down from the disciples. Study a little. Baptists are 25th generation Protestants that focus on one line of the New Testament.
