Author of quotes: Metropolitan Hilarion Alfeyev

The gospel story of Jesus Christ can be compared to a collection of treasures from two thousand years ago, located in a safe under two locks. To touch these treasures, you must first open the safe, and to open it, two keys are required. One key is the belief that Jesus was a complete man with all the attributes of a real flesh and blood man. However, a second key is needed - the belief that Jesus was God incarnate. Without this key, the safe will not open and the treasures will not sparkle: the Gospel image of Christ will not appear before the reader in all its radiant beauty.

The attitude of the Church to women can be judged by how highly the Church places the Mother of God, glorifying Her more than all the saints and even more angels themselves as "the most honest cherub and the most glorious seraphim without comparison." The Most Holy Theotokos is the Mother of Christ and the Mother of the Church in Her person The Church glorifies motherhood, which is an inalienable property and advantage of women.

Icon in the Museum is like a butterfly in the herbarium, which is pinned to the wall and which does not live its full life. Butterfly needs to fly and the icon should be in the temple.
