St Herman’s Day…

Icon of St. Herman of Alaska by Anna DuMoulin

Rejoice, O Valaam, God’s dwelling,

for thou hast raised up a wondrous struggler for Christ,

who, like a candle upon a candle-stand has shone upon the islands of Alaska,

a land new and unknown, and has brought unbelieving people to the right Faith.

With them, then, let us glorify God, wondrous in His saints.
