Paris St.Séraphin-de-Sarov. Hidden Russian Orthodox church!
Getting to this church -- St.Séraphin-de-Sarov, on-time might be a challenge: you need to find the street-side large green doors, then, once within, head down a short wondrous pavee-path and around past a building straight out of the town from Downtown Abbey. (‘Carson’ was unavailable…) Then, in past the green metal gate and behold, an unreal urban oasis of calm and serenity infused with the heady fragrances of all manner of flowers and plants… The day I arrived, someone was practicing a wonderful Violin! …(and did I mention the unreal quiet)?
It was supposedly built from wooden crates from the area, and consecrated by Metropolitan Eulogius (Guéorguievski ) …being financed by gifts from Russian émigrés whites from the area. Paris saw an flux of Russians post revolution…. 2 TRUNKS: The church is made entirely of wood, and goes one better …having a live maple tree growing through the roof of the church yet another, large’ish trunk (dead) also within the church. It is modest sized, yet well appointed, among the icons in the church are works of Joan Reitlinger and Mother Mary Skobtsov . IT WAS REBUILT IN THE 1970'S...I BELIEVE...
PROPHECIES ON THE ANTICHRIST
Numerous Prophecies given by the Virgin Mary and the Saints which reflect in part: Many convents are no longer houses of God, but the grazing-grounds of Asmodeas and his like. It will be during this time that the Antichrist will be born of a Hebrew nun, a false virgin who will communicate with the old serpent, the master of impurity, his father will be a Catholic Bishop.
