"Descendents of Zionists infiltrate the Greek Old Calendarists!

Bishop Ambrose undertook his undergraduate and graduate schooling at the University of London, the latter at the prestigious Courtauld Institute of Art. His family counts among its distinguished members such figures, on his paternal side, as John Macwhirter, the Scottish landscape painter, and, on his maternal side, Sir Moses Montefiore, the famous English banker and philanthropist. Montefiore’s nephew, Arthur Cohen, King’s Counsel, was a Member of Parliament, Standing Counsel for Cambridge University (his alma mater), Vice-President of the London School of Jewish Studies, a Judge of the Cinque Ports, and Bishop Ambrose’s great-grandfather."

The Impact of Protestant Spirituality in Catherinian Russia: The Works of St. Tikhon of Zadonsk

"Pietism and Western mysticism also affected the contemplative and introspective religious journeys of Russia’s monastics. The best early example of Protestant devotional influence on Russia’s 'monastic revival' (a term coined by Igor Smolitsch) was St. Tikhon of Zadonsk (1724–83), whose piety inspired Dostoevsky to create the character of Father Zosima in 'Brothers Karamazov.' Although he was seen as a quintessentially Russian starets (elder), Tikhon’s writings on piety and devotion were anything but purely quintessentially Russian. His most popular works, On True Christianity ('O istinnom khristianstve') and The Spiritual Treasure ('Dukhovnoe sokrovishche'), borrowed heavily from Johann Arndt’s opus "On True Christianity". He also employed the Pietist theological language of total depravity, the narrow way, justification, and especially, the regeneration (rebirth or 'Wiedergeburt') that resonated with the enlightened monastic calling. At the same time, Tikhon’s other treatise, The Occasion and Spiritual Meditation Thereupon ('Sluchai dukhovnoe ot nego razmyshlenie'), borrowed from and imitated the contemplative works of Joseph Hall, the bishop of Exeter (1574–1656), who developed the art of meditating on external objects."

Yesterday the Lamb was slain and the door-posts were anointed, and Egypt bewailed her Firstborn, and the Destroyer passed us over, and the Seal was dreadful and reverend, and we were walled in with the Precious Blood. Today we have clean escaped from Egypt and from Pharaoh; and there is none to hinder us from keeping a Feast to the Lord our God--the Feast of our Departure; or from celebrating that Feast, not in the old leaven of malice and wickedness, but in the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth, carrying with us nothing of ungodly and Egyptian leaven.
St. Gregory the Theologian, Oration 1

Nor would it be right for us to pass over the manner of this eating either, for the Law does not do so, but carries its mystical labour even to this point in the literal enactment. Let us consume the Victim in haste, eating It with unleavened bread, with bitter herbs, and with our loins girded, and our shoes on our feet, and leaning on staves like old men; with haste, that we fall not into that fault which was forbidden to Lot Genesis 19:17 by the commandment, that we look not around, nor stay in all that neighbourhood, but that we escape to the mountain, that we be not overtaken by the strange fire of Sodom, nor be congealed into a pillar of salt in consequence of our turning back to wickedness; for this is the result of delay. With bitter herbs, for a life according to the Will of God is bitter and arduous, especially to beginners, and higher than pleasures.
St. Gregory the Theologian, Oration 45

This it is whereby the Lord's Passover is duly kept "With the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth" by the casting away of "the old leaven of wickedness" [1 Cor 5:8] and the inebriating and feeding of the new creature with the very Lord. For naught else is brought about by the partaking of the Body and Blood of Christ than that we pass into that which we then take, and both in spirit and in body carry everywhere Him, in and with Whom we were dead, buried, and rose again, as the Apostle says, For you are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. "For when Christ, your life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with Him in glory." [Col 3:3-4]
Leo of Rome, Sermon 63

The holy bread is to be brought to the table, hot—according to the tradition of the Apostles; and <the cup> incorruptible—without any admixture: “For we are redeemed not with corruptible things, but with the incorruptible Body <and Blood> of the spotless and unblemished Lamb” (I Pet 1:18-19).
St Macarius, Letter to the Armenians (c 330-350)

And wherefore did he not drink water after he was risen again, but wine? To pluck up by the roots another wicked heresy. For since there are certain who use water in the Mysteries to show that both when he delivered the mysteries he had given wine and that when he had risen and was setting before them a mere meal without mysteries, he used wine, 'of the fruit,' says he, 'of the vine.' But a vine produces wine, not water.
St John Chrysostom, Homily 81 on Matthew. He also said:

"By the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, he means the day before that feast; for they are accustomed always to reckon the day from the evening, and he makes mention of this in which in the evening the passover must be killed; John 13:1 for on the fifth day of the week they came unto Him. And this one calls the day before the feast of unleavened bread, Luke 22:7 speaking of the time when they came to Him, and another says on this wise, Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed; by the word came, meaning this, it was near, it was at the doors, making mention plainly of that evening. For they began with the evening, wherefore also each adds, when the passover was killed." (Ibid)

"When morning came, Saint Martinian came out to send the woman away. Though he was tempted by the woman’s beauty, he was determined not to fall into sin. Lighting a fire, he stepped into it, saying, “You want me to burn with temptation, but I will not give in to it.. Instead, I choose to burn in this fire in order to preserve my purity and to escape the unquenchable fires of Hell.""
