Rev. Venedikt Nursiysky. The light of the dark centuries. Golosova O.E.

The words “Unrequited Church” dates back to the first ten centuries of Christianity, when the eastern and western churches were united and they have not yet been divided into Orthodoxy and Catholicism. At that time, many saints shone. Some of them are better known and revered in the eastern - Orthodox - Church, some in Western and almost unknown to Orthodox Christians. One of these great ascetics, the founder and patron of monasticism in Europe, refers to the Monk Venedikt Nursisi, who is dedicated to this scientific and popular work.
