What Orthodox Christians Should Have Engraved on Their Gravestones

By Demetrios Panagopoulos (1916-1982),
Preacher

Give instruction that on your grave is written: "I await the Resurrection of the dead" (Προσδοκώ Ανάσταση νεκρών), not the other fairy-tales and verses of some sort that are often written there which contain no thought in regards to faith and no thought of the Resurrection. Everything takes place for this Resurrection. The Resurrection is what gives us comfort. There is so much sorrow in the world, so many tears and so much wickedness, that if there was no Resurrection, there would be no reason, not even for a second, for people to live here.

George Orwell's "COVID -1984"

"Everything other than working was forbidden: walking in the streets, having fun, singing, dancing, getting together, everything was forbidden."

The Truth Behind the Alleged "Prophetic Vision of Saint John of Kronstadt"

By John Sanidopoulos

Multiple Orthodox Christian websites have in circulation a text often known as the "Prophetic Vision of Saint John of Kronstadt", allegedly written by Saint John of Kronstadt himself, concerning a vision he saw in January of 1901 that deals with specific apocalyptic events of the future, often with amazing details, revealed to him by Saint Seraphim of Sarov. Despite the confidence this alleged prophecy has in detailing future events, certain details have clearly proven to be false, but this does not stop anyone from continuing to circulate this false prophecy.
