Unbelievable images of the Northern Light! (pics+video)

Celestial beauty!

Newsroom March 15 08:10

Millions of people living in Britain were treated to a stunning spectacle of beauty in the skies on Sunday. They were lucky enough to observe one of the most amazing celestial phenomena ever, the North Selas, or as it is scientifically known the ‘Aurora Boraelis’. These magnificent natural light displays produced at the ends of the earth’s poles, can are visible in high altitudes. Auroras are produced when the magnetosphere (the space surrounding astronomical objects in which energy charged particles are influenced by the objects’ magnetic field) is disturbed enough by solar winds so that the charged particles precipitate in the upper atmosphere. Enough of the scientific explanations, though. Enjoy these heavenly images!

The Fables of Aesop as a Preparation for the Gospel by H.E. Metropolitan Cleopas of Sweden

The Orthodox Church has never categorically rejected pre-Christian thought. On the contrary, it subjected it to discernment, distinguished it, and made use of it. The Fathers saw in Aesop’s fables a preparatory discourse; a natural morality that prepares humanity to receive the light of the Gospel
