“The gifted Fr. Anastasios of Koudoumas also stressed that similar ideas to hedonism & pansexualism invaded the West through Hinduism. "It is reported, that the ancient Greek King Alexander sealed the gates of the Indies. The same is also reported by St. Andrew the Fool-for-Christ. But what do they mean? Some misinterpreted this, thinking that he sealed gates in the earth, through which subterranean creatures came to the surface...It is not so!” (1/6) 🧵👇🏻
“There are no extraterrestrials or subterraneans. Listen to the explanation: that civilized & sophisticated king (Alexander), beheld a terrible sight around the Himalayans. He saw not just primitive but nearly beastly peoples, eating snakes, flies, spiders, all kinds of filth. Moreover, they committed all kinds of perversion among them, & had criminal instincts.” (2/6) 🧵

☦️🇺🇸🇬🇷 Elder Ephraim was a spiritual son of St. Joseph the Hesychast & Abbot of numerous monasteries on Mt. Athos. He came to North America in the late 1980’s & established 17 monasteries across the continent before his repose in 2019.

🧵 This is a thread on all of these spiritual outposts. List below👇🏻
1. Holy Monastery of the Nativity of the Theotokos ☦️

Established in 1989 this was the first monastery Elder Ephraim founded in the US & the first Greek Orthodox woman’s monastery in the America’s. It is the 2nd largest of Elder Ephraim’s monasteries in America & the largest for women w/ over 25 Sisters! Located in Saxonburg, Pennsylvania 🇺🇸 they have an iconography studio, small Russian chapel dedicated to St. Seraphim of Sarov, & will soon have finished a major building project expanding the monastery entirely. 🙏🏻

Let’s talk about the history of Christian Holy sites in Palestine since the arrival of zionism 🇵🇸🇮🇱☦️🧵 (1/6)

Starting in 1947 jewish terrorists & militant groups waged a war of ethnic & religious cleansing throughout the Holy Land. In a memorandum presented to the United Nations in 1948 titled “Jewish Atrocities in the Holy Land”
The document goes over many atrocities like the destruction & arson of whole towns, mosques destroyed, & more. I want to focus on the Christian sites, however, as Christians in America have unfortunately been convinced that supporting the zionist state is compatible with Christianity (2/6)

If you look closely at the carved images on the Iconostasis above the Icon of the Synaxis of the Archangels at Holy Archangels Monastery ☦️ in Kendalia, Texas 🇺🇸 you will notice an interesting scene. A man paints a fence while two angels look on. Story Time 🧵 (1/6) In 1998, after Elder Ephraim of Arizona purchased land from a Sufi Muslim school/mosque in the Texas Hill Country & established Holy Archangels Greek Orthodox Monastery (1996), a Mexican worker was painting new three-bar crosses atop the Monastery gate…(2/6)

“MAKE PREPARATIONS!” - Met. Neophytos of Morphou: The obvious epicenter at this stage is the conflict in Ukraine 🇺🇦 & the Donbass region.
