A Photo Essay. His Holiness on Bering Island in the Komandorski Archipelago… That’s MIGHTY Close to Alaska!

Blessing the future site of St Nicholas parish on Bering Island in the Komandorski group

His Nibs at the local school with the kids and the teachers…

His Nibs gives the local polyclinic an icon of St Panteleimon the Unmercenary Healer… Russia has socialised single-payer health care… as a Russian friend of mine said, “We don’t have as much as you do in America… but we share it more equally.

Here’s the local kids just hanging out… there’s a future, no?
