RUSSIAN Orthodoxy is WHAT?! In the Golden Ring in Russia! 

Fascinating video! I knew of Father Gleason's story. It was very interesting to see his church and home. His children are also very smart and have been well educated at home.

I am Romanian Orthodox and the Orthodox religion is the original Christianity from Jesus and his followers and it has not changed since the very beginning. The Catholics decided to make changes and then many other denominations were formed in the west but Orthodox stayed the same. God bless all Orthodox brothers and sisters

As a young American who recently moved to Russia for Orthodoxy, I really enjoyed this video. I hope you make more videos about Orthodoxy in Russia. ☦️

قرار طيب ياسيدي القس ، لقد فررت بنفسك وعائلتك حتى تستطيع ان تربي اطفالك وتعيشون حياة طبيعية ومسيحية هادئة ، اني احسدك 😊 ولكني اتمنى لك ولعائلتك حياة سعيدة في بلدكم الجديد 💛🌷

American priest in Russia, I thought I can't impressing me, i was wrong. Thank you for father Joseph

As a descendant of an Orthodox priest myself, I'm more than pleased to see that Russia became a sanctuary for Orthodox Christians

I am Russian Orthodox, I am very glad that you decided to make such a video! ☦️❤️

Greetings to father Joseph. It's great to see our "neighbour". Greetings from Pereslav-Zalessky.

I had the honor to listen to Father Joseph Gleason’s appearance on the World War Now podcast where he talked about the website he founded called Russian Faith. A website dedicated to the history of Orthodox Christendom in Russia! I very much appreciate you and your wife taking time to visit Ft. Gleason’s church and to include him in your channel. God bless you Joseph and Sveta this was a wholesome and heartwarming video to watch 🙏☦️! Thank you so much!

Some people say 'Russian means Orthodox Christian' or ‘Russian is a state of mind’. Father Joseph illustrates these ideas profoundly. God bless you all guys!

Excellent video. I and my family plan to move to Russia in June. Maybe close to Rostov

Пресвятая Богородица Храни Святую Русь, отца Джозефа его семью и всех Православных Христиан.

Love to Fr.Joseph and his lovely wife and beautiful children. ❤💗 Remembering that day they all flew out from New York Airport to begin their new life in Russia. What an amazing journey! Such a wonderful story of their discernment, belief,wisdom, convictions, spiritual strength,perseverence,courage,and ultimately a humble faith and trust in God's will. May God bless your family always. ❤💗💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓☦️🙏☦️🙏☦️🙏☦️🙏☦️🙏☦️🙏☦️🙏☦️🙏☦️🙏☦️🙏

Восемь детей! Отец в прямом и переносном смысле...герой!

Американец приехал в Россию и стал православным священником? Вау, невероятно.

Glory to Russia 🪆🇷🇺

Hope you enjoyed your time. I love Russia.

What a wonderful person Father Joseph is! His calm quiet voice is so pleasant to listen to. If I ever have a chance to visit Rostov, I'll definitely try to meet him in person

Наличники на окнах , как кружева! Хорошо, что сохранили!❤

Для меня меня первым американцем( известным в России), перешедшим в православие был Серафим Роуз.Как я понимаю, сейчас в нашей стране складывается небольшая православная диаспора из представителей англоязычного мира.Это очень здорово! К сожалению, катастрофы 20века(две мировые войны,гражданская,голод, репрессии и т.д.) на нашей территории : подорвали и демографию, и христианскую культуру.Вот, так возможно "с мира по нитке", что -то новое светлое от Бога и соберётся

What an amazing an interesting video, converting to orthodox Christianity and becoming closer to God is one of my goals.

Thank you for this video. Very interesting. Actually wish it was longer. One of the things that annoy me in the foreign films (US/British ones in particular) is that they put benches in Russian churches. Russian churches (even outside Russia) are all standing churches! People literally have to stand throughout the service, however long or short it is. Yes, it's hard, but that's the point. It's not meant to be easy. There are no benches, no pews, other than a few possible chairs at the back of the hall for people who can't stand or very old. But somehow every time the Russian church is shown in a US/UK movie/show, it's always filled with benches/pews. Honestly, this level of ignorance to the foreign culture is unfortunately too frequent to ignore.

Кстати. Мало кто заметил, но в видео была пересказана история военизирования России. Изначально стояла церковь, люди жили мирно и никому не угрожали. И только после нападений иностранцев, коих русская земля перенесла не мало со всех сторон, мы начали возводить защиту и учится воевать. Это ведь настолько крутое видео в плане истории становления и расширения Российской государственности и тех смыслов и идей, которые Россия пропагандирует - НЕ ЛЕЗЬТЕ К НАМ. Каждое расширение России обусловлено не стремением захватить соседние земли, а угрозой от этих соседних земель. Так было с Кавказом (от Турок и Англичан), Причерноморьем (от Турок и Англичан), Сибирью (от Монгольского ига), Западные земли (От немцев и поляков). Кто не помнит историю, тот и получает от неё по башке. И позвольте напомнить цитату Александра Невского, покровителя моего Пскова - Кто к нам с мечом придёт, тот от меча и погибнет. Спасибо за это великое видео.

My great grandparents and grandparents were Russian Orthodox. I remember going to church with them when I was a kid. Just went back to that church a month ago to a service and it was a beautiful service.

Здравствуйте Вам Спасибо Вам Огромное За Такое Замечательное Видео ДайБог Вам И Вашим Близким Здравия И Всего Самого Доброго !!!☦️☦️☦️🙏🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗🤍💙❤️🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺☀️☀️☀️

Thank you Joseph. I am going to visit All Saints Russian Orthodox Church in Las Vegas NV. I am inspired by Orthodoxy especially after listening to Father Spyridon Bailey here on RU-vid.

Very interesting video. Tank you very much God bless

Сначала было приятное удивление, как прекрасно наш священник говорит по английски. Священник оказывается американец. Вот это здорово, было интересно послушать.

Этот американский священник принял Православие и ведет литургию на английском языке (извините отче, не помню вашего имени) ❤😇🙏

Этот американец, который стал в России священником. Удивителен ещё и тем, что притягивает к себе из США американцев, которые благодаря ему возвращаются в церковь Христову. Смотрел как то другой видеоролик о нем. Он уже возле себя собрал множество англоязычных эмигрантов из западных стран и практически возле него формируется целая англоязычная община православных англичан, американцев и тд. Если все так и продолжится. Через несколько лет там реально целое поселение появится состоящее из граждан России, этнически англосакского происхождения 🙂

Joseph, вы меня удивили. Вы в России находите много соотечествинников! И даже православный священник оказался американцем. В православных церквях обычно служба ведётся на церковнославянском языке. Если разрешили вести службу на английском, наверное отец Joseph из Америки очень хороший человек 😊

Liked the historical perspective the priest gave . Smth very sacred about the churches and I would love to experience a ceremony someday :))

Хорошим людям у нас в России всегда рады! Дай Бог батюшке Джозофу и его семье здравия, благополучия и благотати божьей! Единственное жалко, что нет перевода на русский( Автоматически не переводится, к сожалению. Часть разговора поняла, а часть нет... Мой английский не настолько хорош)... Но очень хочется прослушать всю беседу)

Hello! Delightful issue about the life of an english-speaking Orthodox priest, thank you, informative and interesting.🙏

This is exciting. An American that moved to Russia became an Orthodox priest. I have never thought that there are such people in Russia. I had heard on TV that a lot of foreigners want to move in Russia because of our conservative traditions, true religions and because Russia is a country of a lot of nations still getting along but I never thought that this is true. Thanks for your videos!

Thank you a lot for such an interesting and useful video! I would like more videos with fr Joseph. Don't mind the people writing bad comments to you, most of them are not from Russia but from Ukraine. Not simple Ukrainians but people who are paid for telling lies about Russia and everyone who is for Russia.

I like Father Gleason,keep your friendship with him,you will learn from him,i think.😊

God bless father Joseph

Спасибо за интересное видео. Жду продолжение.

That is one mighty beard Father Joseph has. :) Fascinating story about the Saint's bones and the Polish siege. Great video buddy.

Thank you for the video! And what a lovely house Father Joseph has.

Будет очень интересно посмотреть ещё один видеоролик о вашей встрече с Джозефом и с членами его общины. Он удивительный человек. Ему и его семье искренне хочется пожелать радости и благополучия.

Cool! Can't wait for the second part!

God bless you❤ Thanks you very much😊

Joeseph , your videos just get better and better . Thank you so much for sharing . What a lovely family you have . Your wife looks so kind . I would love to meet you all one day when i visit Russia. 😊

Excellent

Невероятно интересно! Thanks a lot!

thank you Joseph. Both of you

So incredible that american priest tells about russian history. And I've noticed he doesn't keep smiling a lot like an american, it seems kind of he's become a russian :) Indeed he behaves non-verbally in russian style, just american speech reveals him. Thank you for such amazing story!

Спасибо за такую встречу!

Thanks for the deep coverage ❤

Friends 👋🏻🥰

Приезжайте в Россию.. Кто разделяет наши ценности и душой с нами. Мы очень рады и поможем вам.. Нам такие люди нужны..

Thank you for this video. The more you know.

In Russia, also in 2009, the course "Fundamentals of Orthodox Culture" was introduced in schools. However, the student and parents can also choose to study another religious culture, or a course of secular ethics. Also, in 2012, the institute of military priests was introduced into the army, temples and churches are being built in military units

Glory to God! As an Orthodox Christian myself it brings me great joy to Fr Joseph being interviewed and hopefully it encourages others to seek out their local Orthodox Church.

I am so Surprise to see American To follow Russian Orthodox is interesting 🤔. I'm happy to see that some Americans follow ORTHODOX. Wow...God-bless you all. I am ERITREAN ORTHODOX. Love Peace and Respect from ERITREA ⛪️ ✝️⛪️✝️ ⛪️ 🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷🇪🇷

Спасибо большое. Потрясающе интересное видео.

that's what always happens to me when watching vids before reading description... Me - Wow, this Russian cleric is really fluent in English, wish I could speak English like him... Also Me after reading description - Oh, I got it...

Много чудес на свете.

Thanks for a surprising video! Serving an american orthodox priest in Russia has really amazed me. It would be less impressive bumping into him in Poland or The UK for instance on my take.

Вы похожи на Генри Кавила, который сыграл Супермена, а ваш друг-священник похож на Тревиса Фиммела в роли Рагнара Лотброка из сериала Викинги в 3-4 сезонах.

God bless to father Joseph

Thank you so much for this video, it's been so interesting and so informative!! ❤

Sveta, I've never been to Rostov Veliky either and I've learned a lot from Fr. Joseph as well. You are not alone 😃

Невероятно,потрясающее видео,американский батюшка,по истине неисповедимы пути Господни

Отец Иосиф -- потомок Сэмьюэла Адамса, одного из отцов-основателей США...История поразительная. Очень интересный человек и вдохновляющий священник. Спасибо за интересное видео, Джозеф.🎈

Oh!!! I was there! In this place and in this cafe❤❤❤

Even more interesting after the library

Прекрасное видео 🎥📹.... Ребята! Ортодоксальный священник переехал из Америки в Россию в глубинку, дом, хозяйство приход, восстановление Церкви,..... Человек который знает историю Ярославля, что и как было и есть.....при этом человек с большим сердцем с Богом в душе и мыслях..... Который в 2017 году изменил своё мировоззрение переехал в Россию из Америки, когда в умах многих россиян это манна небесная но это только вывеска жизни с области и экрана ТВ...... Тим Кирби хочет построить американскую деревню, поселение для тех кто хочет переехать в Россию, начать всё с начала на новом месте...... Те кто бежит от политики и навязывания гомосексуальности, трансгендеров, начиная с рождения и родители могут лишиться всего и вся за своё мнение, а Америка, Запад сошли с ума.... Святой отец помогает переехать тем кто бежит от этого идиотизма, помогает всём и вся ведёт блоги и рассказывает всё и вся это говорит о многом..... Разговаривает с Богом и несёт его слова людям не зависимо от веры, направления, догмы религиозных организаций.. А говорит сердцем, душой.... Благослови Вас Бог😇🙏👼 и Ваши начинания.....

Such a book is really needed. This is an important topic. And if it's really as good as you say, then that's really, really great.

This priest is very wise and reasonable. I respect him very much.

Батюшка похож на Рогнара Лодброка из сериала Викинги:))👍🏼

Greetings from Yekaterinburg, thanks for the video!

Обожаю Ростов Великий! Там реально красиво.

Добра Вам Батюшка!!!! Подписался на Ваш канал! Лично я во много восхищаюсь Американцами, но так же я люблю всей душой мою Матушку Россию )

Спасибо! Keep on going!

Hello, my dear friend! Rostov Velikiy is one of my favorite towns in Central Russia. Despite the town itself is rather poor, there is some feeling of ancient Russia in there. Especially in this Kremlin and around it. The Bell Tower of Rostov is very famous in the whole Russia and abroad for its really amazing chimes. Lake Nero also makes special acoustic scene for these chimes, so the sound of these bells are really something special. As I told you, my family was even living in Rostov for couple of month, so I know how is the life in this town from inside. As for St. Leonty of Rostov, he was the very first priest, who came to this ares to convert local pagans to Christianity, so that's why his grave was always so respected, and I hope, will be respected for all the times. Also, as I told you, there is one American family, which I know personally, and they are practicing Russian Orthodox Christianity in St. Leonty Church in Kommunarov Street. And they live just in the 19-th Century house right next to the Church. The family head's name is Brian, and he is originally from Chikago area. The whole family has moved from Chikago to Rostov, and they don't want to go back to the U.S. anymore. What is interesting about Fr. Joseph, there are people in my area (Khotkovo, City District of Sergiev Posad, Moscow Region), who know him well personally. It is very interesting for me to see this video.

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing your story. ❤

Amazing!

I have seen a few years ago a Reportage, of the Orthodox Priest Father Joseph Gleason, an American that moved to Russia with his wife and his 8 children. It's a very nice family and they all integrated in the Russians People's Cultural and Moral Family's Values and seems to have find their haven on Earth to raise their Children in Faith of God and in Harmony in this desapeard way of life in Western Countries, where Nobody cares about others and where Money is their Only "God" that has Value for them. Hope that more and more People will return to our Christian Values and Moral, because Christianity is a Faith in the Saint Trinity, but Also a Life's Philosophy which incorporated Real Moral Values, that are the Foundation of any Human being thow to be and how to interact positively with the other one, like if it's with him self, with love and tolerance and of course empathy. From a Christian Orthodox, but not Russian, even if Of consider them as my closest brothers and sisters and Admire them for what they are and for whome they are, a Big Nation, with a Fantastic Rich History, Culture, Knowledge, a People of Immense Courage that deserves our Respect if not Love! I am European, but I consider the American State, that exists only for 247 years and was in this short time for 244 years in War Mongerings and Wars of Agressions and Plundering of the Wealth of Other Countries that they submitted like real barbarians, with a total lack of any kind of Humanity and all is fake there, all is Narrative an Propaganda about the GreatneSS of the USA, just all just BY WAY OF DECEPTION! * The USA is a Treat to the Peace of all Humanity! Russia is the Future of the Humanity in a Multipolar World, as the U.S.A. is the Death of a Normal Heathy Humanity, because their "Values" are the Degeneration and Depravation of the Mental State of the Mankind, just dedicated to the Evil, qnihilating the Base of any Society: The Family, the Marriage between a man and a woman and the children born from this Natural and God's Union that perpetuated the Normal Mankind on Earth! Best regards to all of you.

***DON’T MISS OUR SEQUEL VIDEO: ‘Arguing with a Russian Priest’*** *** НЕ ПРОПУСТИТЕ НАШЕ ПРОДОЛЖЕНИЕ ВИДЕО: ‘Спор с русским священником’***

I’ve always wanted to attend an orthodox service

Шедеврально

Could you, please, provide the names of those trilogy books written by geologist-priest that Father Joseph spoke about at the end of the video? Thank you.

Thank you ❤❤❤ like it 😊❤

Would love to behold all these Russian Churches someday🌹

21:18 So basically a grand grand grand grand grand grand grand child of one of those who singed the declaration of independence of the US is now a Russian priest.

Does Father Gleason have a way one could donate towards repair of his church?

Отличный выпуск!

The first time I ever really got exposed to the Orthodox Church is the space program when the Soyuz rocket gets blessed by the orthodox priest, and the cosmonaut, and astronaut as well

То-то я думаю, чего это батька без акцента по английски шпарит, а он, оказывается, на родном говорит. Милости просим, всегда рады хорошим людям.

Спасибо большое за видео. Thanks! Дай Бог здоровья батюшке!

Thank you for this story. A terrific man, with an interesting fate. So much faith and wisdom in him. It's nice to see a creative attitude toward the world, not a depraved one. I was also struck by how well he knows the history of Russia and Christianity.

I am waiting for the next video with this priest. You both are Josephs, isn't it a sign from God?

Thank you!! Very interesting and informative! Churches are beautiful! Does the father have a you tube or telegram channel?

This is wonderful! 😌🙏

What a lovely man is Father Joseph . What a lovely way to live . I would love to be able to come to Russia as i have for many years . But under the circumstances i think its hard to get there . Im learning the language and history. ❤
