New Martyrs, Confessors, and Passion-Bearers of Russia
(Pause the cursor over the various panels of the icon below for a description of each panel, and a link to a larger image of that panel, with a description and more information. More information on this icon is below.)
The icon above is a map, or key, to this section on the New Martyrs of Russia (see below). The original, size 3' by 4', was painted in 1981 by the iconographer N.A.Papkov for the Holy Epiphany Church in Boston, Massachusetts. It is distinguished by its side illustrations (often found on ancient icons), showing the persecution, torture and death of the Orthodox Christians in the Russian land seized by the Communists. Surrounded by these illustrations is the center image of the holy New Martyrs.
Before the copy of this icon on October 19 (November 1), 1981 in New York City, the New Martyrs, Confessors and Passion-Bearers of Russia were glorified (canonized) by the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad. This event was a death knell for godless Communism in Russia: widespread veneration of the New Martyrs has begun in the long-suffering Russian land, and just 15 years later, in 1996, the process of glorification of the Royal Martyrs and Passion-bearers has been started by the Moscow Patriarchate. Much more on the Russian Royal Family and Imperial Russia is available elsewhere on the Internet.
To zoom in on the icon and illustrations and read the explanations (after an article by Fr. Roman Lukianov in the Orthodox America, Vol.II, No.4, 1981, Special Edition) please click on any part of the image. Dates of the events are given both according to the Church (Old Style) and civil (New Style) calendars, the latter in parentheses.

Faust,
In my own case, reading about the brutal murder of Russia's Royal Family, and then learning the racial background of those who plotted their brutal murder (Plus four faithful attendants), was for me a life-altering experience.
From then on the word Jew took on a whole new meaning. And now, through the years, I have come to understand what Martin Luther meant when he declared in his senior years that: "Next to Satan the Christian has no greater enemy than the Jew."

vytis? I do make a difference between the real Jews and the Zionists who pass themselves as Jews and as far as I am concern those who killed the royal family were the Khazards Zionists.

Ashkenazi, Sephardi, Zionist, Israeli, or those you label Khazards Zionists.
Personally Ponce, I make no distinction.

To say that they are all the same is like saying that all Americans, Cubans, Russians and so on are all the same.
I do aprove of what Herr Hitler did because those where the trouble makers but those Jews already in Palestine were getting along just fine with all Arabs.
The trouble in Palestine, to me, began with the emigration of the Zionists to Palestine and to all over the world including the USA.
At one time we were fighting the so called Communists and all that time they were living here among us as Jews (Zionists) for the Jews were the founders of the Communist party.
So, tell me friend as to why are all "Jews" the same to you ?

Separate directions they may go in private life. But in my opinion Ponce, when their racial wagon is threatened and surrounded; and I give Germany as an example. Then from all nations they unite and come together under one Jewish blood umbrella.

vytis? you appear to be well read therefore you should know that the Zionists sold out their own people in Germany when they had a chance to same many of them by paying Goering only $500.00 per head or $1,000 per family in order to save them.
The majority of "new Jews" did not want to go to Palestine therefore they were not saved and also the the majority of those saved were the younger and strongest ones because it was the plans of the leadership to make war in Palestine in order to take over the land.
Don't forget that those people don't make plans five years into the future like the US government does it, but for one hundred years ahead of time.
