The fight against your own passions- New Russian Video

The theology students in Kazan, Russia were sending a powerful message:

Vesting of an Orthodox Priest

St. Ephrem The Syrian

Here is a short video about one of the great saints we have:
 

Carrot, Apple and Ginger Loaf

 

Here is a picture of a similar mixture of the carrot, apple and ginger pulp (and I added garlic, beet juice, corn flour and eggs, placed in a glass pan and baked it at 350 F for 30 minutes) to make a "vegan meatless loaf".

 

Carrot, Apple & Ginger Patties

Those patties are gluten-free.
 

Ingredients:

2 cups left over carrot, apple and ginger pulp from juicing (one can use this pulp and make other mixture combinations for patties with lentils, herbs, beans and quinoa, etc)

3 tbsp. coconut oil

3 tbsp. corn flour

Directions: Combine all ingredients and press with your hands to form the patties. Fry them in a stainless steel pan for 3-4 minutes on each side. Enjoy.

Gheorghe Calciu-Dumitreasa (1925–2006) was a Romanian priest and dissident. He served 21 years in prison during the Communist regime. He was first imprisoned in 1948, but claimed his 1978 imprisonment was harsher. He had criticized Nicolae Ceauşescu's repressions and became seen as an "enemy of the state". Reportedly he suffered beatings and harassment in prison. He was released from prison due in part to pressure from supporters such as Ronald Reagan. He spent years in exile in Virginia and ultimately settled there permanently. In the mid-1980s he preached on the Voice of America and Radio Free Europe.  He was interred at the Petru Vodă Monastery in Poiana Teiului Commune, Neamţ County, Romania.
