I work there,,,,, !!, Love love the Mother’s and Sisters !!,,!, such a ,,,,,,, calming place to be !,!,!,!,

[@deborahdetering167]

Watching this is the best Christmas present I could have received. The Convent, with Abbess Amvrosia and the Sisters (one of whom is our biological daughter) has been such a blessing for us. Our daughter is like the swallow who has found her nest by the Altar of the Lord. We thank God for the welcome we received at the Convent, and for the times of rest and worship we have shared there.

[@pegsvintagethings6222]

Bless your daughter. My youngest daughter is being called to serve a monastic religious life.

[@heidikrol5594]

Thank you for giving your daughter to God. God bless you.

[@mariaphillips4538]

Many thanks to these beautiful nuns so faithful to God with peace and joy. They bring endless graces down from heaven to the whole world. I pray them all infinite blessings.

[@warrenermish1454]

I am rolling Catholic, but very much drawn to the orthodox tradition and loyalty. God bless this community.

[@jasonbryan3135]

Lord, have mercy on us and bless these sisters; all Holy Trinity be merciful to Canada and kindle faith and love for our neighbors. Canada is on a dark path and needs the light of men, which is Christ.

[@024Nimma]

Unfortunately, the whole Western world is heading towards a dark, atheistic path. In the meantime there are more and more muslim immigrants and births while Christianity is declining. It's sad to see as a convert (24M) to Christianity that I literally have no Christian family or friends. Praying things will change for the better, God only knows...

[@davehansen6112]

I absolutely dreaded this Christmas as we are alone. After seeing this glorious film, I feel it is the very best gift we could have received. Thank you and bless you.

[@024Nimma]

May God release you from your loneliness. Never forget you are never alone when you have Christ in your life. God bless you ☦✝

[@aliciagonzalez4470]

Wow I m Roman Catholic and I perceive the holiness of the sisters and their kindness ❤ God bless you!!

I have been blessed to spend time with Mother Amvrosia and the Sisters. Words cannot describe the love one feels in their presence. May God grant them many many years as caretakers of this Holy place. “If you have obedience without love it’s slavery” Mother Amvrosia. 🙏☦️❤️

This documentary warmed my heart. It was well done. The sisters are truly inspiring. They live in harsh conditions but they have joy in the midst of everything. Thank you so much for bringing this to us. Lord have mercy on this sweet Convent.

[@TheGreekOrthodox]

A truly awesome movie about Genuine Orthodox monastic life in Canada. ❤

[@conniejensen2870]

This little convent is part of my family history. The white bearded man in the very early photo is my great grandfather Feodor Polushin who arrived with his family as refugees in 1924. He purchased the land and gave half for the building of the church. I grew up coming here for special services and with m mother as she gave English lessons to the first nuns who served here. I still enjoy visits here.

[@jgator6694]

That is remarkable! That beautiful place must be very special to you. Such a rich history and beautiful, devoted people.

[@mrsnkg7904]

Thank you for your prayers dear sisters. We lived in Ontario 1987-1995. A very formative time in our unexpected, convoluted journey to Holy Orthodoxy. I've always felt there must be many hidden prayers behind this life path. I'm sure this beautiful prayer community contributed to our conversion. Lord Jesus Christ Son of God have mercy on me a sinner. 💖🙏🇦🇺🎄

[@AnitaPrice-p5y]

i was blessed by the words of wisdom from mother Amvrosia, you can not be truely obedient without truely loving, otherwise you are just a slave

[@lynkokemor2548]

What a wonderful documentary! This little convent was an important parr of my family's life as we were part of the nearby Russian community and congregation. My father, one of many, helped build the original church and I remember my brothers serving as alter boys and ringing the bells. Many fond memories of being there as a little kid!

What a beautiful music was picked up! Especially, at 15th minute - "Blizzard" by Sviridov. It turns the reality into a Nativity fairy tale.

[@thanksleft]

Do you know the first piece that was played in the video? I'd love to know....Merry Christmas btw...im Catholic, not sure if you are, I know Orthodox Christmas is on Jan7...

[@shaunmulligan8717]

@@thanksleftThe opening music to the documentary is Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 2 (0:27, III. Adagio, first five bars). You can hear an amazing performance of Rach’s number two by googling “Rachmaninoff Pappano Dresden”. As you have shown interest in the music of Russia, can I direct you to compilations of Russian Orthodox liturgical music by accessing KZbin search box: Sacred Treasures I, II, III.

It fills my heart with such gratitude that God has placed me among such God loving and pious people, lights in this darkened world. Glory to God!

[@waldwassermann]

Winter Poem: In days of yore, the world did softly speak, A hush hung over meadows, calm and meek. Snowflakes, like whispers, gently did descend, Softening the edges, time did suspend. In quiet wonder, through the woods we'd roam, No need for words, in nature's silent home. The only echo, our hearts beating true, A peaceful solace, in the wintry view. Winter's embrace, a tranquil, frosty rhyme, A season's serenade, frozen in time. The world whispered secrets, in the cold air, And in that hush, a timeless peace we'd share. Wishing everybody a happy, healthy and peaceful Christmas Season, Wald Wassermann PS: It is my dream to visit as many holy places, convents, monasteries, temples as possible when I retire.
