The Jerusalem of Above (Elder Ephraim of Arizona †)

Κατηγορίες: In English

Κατηγορίες: In English

For about two years, a man called Anastasis Spyridopoulos put Saint George Karslidis up in his house, at the saint’s request. One night, Anastasis heard the hoof beats of a horse outside in the yard.
