My patron saint. Pray for us St. Herman!

I did a presentation on the book “Orthodox Alaska: a Theology of Mission” to my “The Church and indigenous peoples” class (canadian catholic university) and gave a detailed history on the Orthodox philosophy of evangelism and the historical occurrences of this, with Sts Cyril and Methodius to the slavs, the russian monastics to the natives in Alaska. It’s all very interesting history, no force, no imposition of language. Rather learning the language and customs, then translating into the local language. And it organically grows in the people. When Alaska was sold, and protestant missionaries came, they did a 180, forcing english, and trying to make the natives into “anglosaxxons”. Saint Herman of Alaska pray for us, in North America that we may be made worthy disciples of Christ, through our lives though we are unworthy to allow the Faith to be spread ❤

I grew up in Alaska but never heard of him until passing an Orthodox church bearing his name in Hudson Ohio of all places.

A Saint that I had never heard of before. St Herman pray for us sinners!

Grew up Eastern Orthodox but I'm no longer religious, this almost brought a tear to my eye. To be so dedicated to something is admirable

As a now getting older history nerd with religious interests, I keep thinking I’ve heard all the stories like this, then you get a very pleasant surprise and discover a story like this. You made my morning, and maybe my week. Thank you!

I am a Roman Catholic, but I absolutely love this channel. Keep spreading the word. ✝️❤☦️

I am Clara from Bangladesh 🇧🇩, an anglican can't resist my tears.God bless Father Harman.

May God bless the owner and whoever else is runing this channel. You are truly doing what Christ commanded. Much love from Serbia!🇷🇸 Слава Богу!☦️

I was received into Holy Orthodoxy in the church of St Herman of Alaska in Shillington PA years ago. He helped me get there.

Sweet Lord Jesus, glory to you in all things. Sweet Lord Jesus, forgive me, have mercy on me a sinner. Sweet Lord Jesus, help me, save me, heal me, illumine my darkness. Sweet Lord Jesus, teach me to follow Your will. Christ îs Risen! Glorify Him!!

I went there last year on a mission trip, and God willing, going back up this year! What a blessing! Christ is risen, God bless you ☦️

You dont know how much these videos have helped people find their way.

I'm fortunate to live here and to be a parishioner in the church he founded... and in which his relics repose. Christ is Risen!

I've never seen your channel. Popped up in my algorithm and I've now enjoyed 3 in a row. Great content.

Only channel I get excited for uploads from

This must have been a sign. I have been thinking of St. Herman all week and now my favorite channel uploads!

I was blessed to make pilgrimage to Spruce Island last summer. It is a magical place made holy by the unceasing prayers of Venerable Father Herman, wonder-worker of the Americas.☦️

Beautiful. Thank you Harmony. Christ is risen!
