Historical documentary film "Belgorod: from Emperor to Saint." Episode 2translated

With the blessing of Metropolitan John of Belgorod and Stary Oskol

After Emperor Nicholas II came to Belgorod to bless the military, the border land found not only brave and worthy Sons, but also its Saint. A saint who began his earthly life in Ukraine and his eternal life in Russia.

But times come when they try to destroy faith, and with it the thousand-year history of the country.

The heavenly patron of Belgorod disappears... He is taken out of the province as a particularly secret cargo.

Searches are unsuccessful. But when there is no hope left at all, He returns on his own.

The author of the film, Olga Chernaya, conducted research and revealed unknown details of this story. There are many moments in it that sometimes seem mystical. But they only seem to. If you know this story from the very beginning, then you understand: everything is natural, everything is life lessons.
