Very nice story . I hope one day I’ll be able to visit you Christ is Risen ! Thanks 💕💕💕🙏
I really enjoy the videos on the channel, and I appreciate Mother Christophora's unique experiences being shared with us!
Thank you for this interview with Mother Christophora. I am so grateful for their live streaming services!! Have you visited Elder Ephraim's monasteries and would you consider doing an interview with them?
I just subbed. Your interviews are invaluable. It is a really good look at what our brothers and sisters are doing. I would have never know of this beautiful Monastery without this introduction. God bless Mother Christophora and her sisters. Thank you.
This truly was so interesting and such a blessing to be living in a monastery founded by a person with the background of Mother Alexander. Would mean so much to be part of a monastery with such a history.
She had the great and maybe bad too, of both worlds. She was able to do so much of God's work and spread His love on earth! To think how her heritage lives on for what she did, but better yet it was all done for and by God!
Thank you for your beautiful video. Such wonderful lives!
God Bless you Mother Christophora!
Our monasteries are so precious, and those like this one which pioneered services in English are especially so! Another one which was started at about the same time as this one is the Brotherhood of St. Herman of Alaska in Platina, CA, founded by Father Seraphim Rose. They too emphasized American Orthodoxy and services in English. It would be great if you could interview the Abbot!

It is so amazing that I came across this series of interviews; as the pandemic rages in the world, my family and I found comfort in completing the course of the fast with Mother Christophora and the Sisters in Ellwood City via their youtube channel. It is a blessing to learn more about those who helped my family and myself in our Lenten journey. Thank you and God bless this ministry.
I appreciate this interview! Very interesting! Thank you!
