With the Khazar Tamga on his chest, the Khagan announced the prohibition of Orthodoxy in the Ukraine yesterday.
Now goyim have two options: Either join the state religion that plans to begin accepting gay marriage & abortion soon, or stop being "Orthodox"!
Hopefully, the people realize there's another option!

XAVIER AND THE CRAB
---
According to stories, when St. Francis Xavier sailed to Malacca to preach the Gospel, he encountered a storm. With much faith, he threw his cross into the sea. The waters pacified and he was able to safely arrive at the shore. Then he saw a crab crawling towards him holding the missing cross in on of its claws. Interestingly, there is a specie of crab in that area, the Charybdis feriata, which has a marking resembling the cross on its carapace.

DECEMBER 5: THE HOLY GEOLOGIST
Blessed Niels Stensen
Bishop
Died: 1686
---
He’s also known as Bl. Nicolas Steno. He was a Danish bishop. He was a physician and scientist. He went all over Europe to study the human body. He also studied the layers of rocks. His writings became the foundations of modern stratigraphy (the study of rock layers). He also studied crystals and how they are formed. He was also a very influential figure during that time when the Church was trying to cope with the effects of Protestantism.
