There
is a lot of unease today in the South and elsewhere in the world over a number
of things: disease, foreign invaders,
totalitarian government/corporate officials, and such like. For protection from dangers Orthodox
Christians have always turned to the saints.
This practice is still very much alive in Orthodox countries. Here is what one Romanian town just did in
invoking the protection of the Mother of God over herself:
While Orthodox Christians everywhere love
the Mother of God and turn to her in prayer in times of need, one Romania town
is taking this relationship to a new level.
Negrești Oaș is located in northwestern
Romania, near the Ukrainian border. It is the capital of the Oaș Country
ethnographic region, and as of Sunday, it is officially under the Heavenly
protection of the Most Holy Theotokos, as declared by His Grace Bishop Timotei
of Maramureș and Satu Mare, reports the Basilica News Agency.
The decision to proclaim the Mother of God
the patron of Negrești Oaș was taken at the session of the Permanent Diocesan
Council on December 5.
The proclamation took place in the
Cathedral of All Saints, with the document being read out by Fr. Cristian
Ştefan, the diocesan councilor. Before the proclamation, His Grace blessed an
icon of the Mother of God with the Oaș cathedral, the Archangels Gabriel and
Michael, and the Holy Cross, especially commissioned for the event.
The icon will be honored at city hall and
in schools and social and public establishments.
This
is how Southrons also ought to respond to threats: by choosing a patron saint to guard our
neighborhoods, towns, counties, parishes, States, rivers, bayous, crops,
cattle, families, and so forth. Who is
mightier than God’s saints? Their
miracles as protectors have been documented countless times (St Agatha in
Sicily, St Demetrius in Thessalonika, St Genevieve in Paris, etc.).
In
this, as in so much else, Dixie would benefit greatly by keeping in step with
the ways of her Orthodox forebears.

Does
anyone remember the swine flu ‘pandemic’ of 2009? It was declared a Phase 6 Global Pandemic by
the World Health Organization. Two
billion people in the world were predicted to be infected after all was said
and done; thousands in America alone were going to die. But the nightmare scenario never
happened. Why not? After Big Pharma got its bonanza payoff to
make billions of doses of swine flu vaccine from various government agencies,
and after other globalist objectives were no doubt met in backroom deals, etc.,
the illness fizzled out. The current
coronavirus ‘epidemic’ looks a lot like this one from 11 years ago (complete
with government wealth transfers from the plain folk to the Big Pharma parasites
for vaccine research: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/03/06/812964894/where-that-8-3-billion-in-u-s-coronavirus-funding-will-and-wont-go). We encourage everyone to review the events
surrounding the 2009 swine flu ‘pandemic’ for themselves in order to get a
better grip on what is happening now:
Do
not be afraid. Trust in God and His
saints; and humbly ask the Mother of God to reveal the truth to all.

Holy Ælfred the Great, King of England,
South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð,
unworthy though we are!
Anathema to the Union!
