@estonianchristianmaxxer: Fr/ Saint Serpahim Rose (almost cannonized) Father Seraphim Rose (1934–1982), born Eugene Dennis Rose, was a prominent American hieromonk and author who played a pivotal role in spreading Eastern Orthodox Christianity in the West during the late 20th century. A convert from a Protestant and later atheist background, he co-founded the St. Herman of Alaska Monastery in Platina, California, under the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR).In May 2026, the Council of Bishops of the ROCOR reportedly opened the official process for his canonization, leading to his recognition as a saint within that jurisdiction #fyp #christianity #orthodoxy #viral
