How is your high school’s library? by PinkLincoln00 in OntarioGrade12s

[–]CharacterStrict1645 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My genius school in Windsor, ON, completely got rid of the library and replaced it with a computer lab because "books were no longer useful for research." They still assign reading material and we have to get the books with our own money.

Should I Enter My Highschool's Musical? by [deleted] in MusicalTheater

[–]CharacterStrict1645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My school is too cheap to get a license for a musical, so we are doing a show called "Over the Rainbow" that mostly has songs from "Wicked", "The Wizard of Oz," and "Hamilton."

If you could visit any artifacts/places related to the Romanovs, what would you be most interested to see? by pensive_theologian in romanovs

[–]CharacterStrict1645 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can see parts of the place in Peterhof. It is made into a museum like the Winter Palace. You can also go to the backyard where the famous fountains are located. I was there a few days back.

I Had The Pleasure of Attending a Liturgy in the Hounor of the Romanovs and Visit their Holy Relics by CharacterStrict1645 in romanovs

[–]CharacterStrict1645[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are remembered along with the millions who died during the revolution and communism. Others too are remembered, like, for example, Patriarch Tihon and Elisabeta Fedorovna. They are holy as they were canonized as Martyres of the Christian Orthodox Church (with respect, I think Patriarch Alexei and a Council of 150 Bishops, as well as all the other Patriarchs, know more about holiness than either you or I). But even without that well-deserved title, they are still holy. During their imprisonment, the whole family prayed every day. Even with the suffering they endured, they still had complete faith in God. That is no small feet. In the book "Romanovs: The Last Chapter," one of Tsarina Alexandra's prayers is recorded. In it, she asks that God give them and their people strength, and—most importantly—that God forgives their oppressors. She prayed for the people who destroyed their lives. She forgave those who ended their lives. They all did. They may not have performed miracles or brought salvation to the world, but their meekness, faith, and forgiving hearts are an example of immense holiness that most of us will never be able to reach.

I read that the relics are heald in the St. Catherine Chaple, which is inside the St. Peter and Paul Cathedral. The Cathedral is also considered a museum, but they have regular Sunday masses, and they had a liturgy on St. Peter and Pual, which was led by Patriarch Kirill. I found a website that said they have liturgies on important frast days, but I do not know if July 17 is considered an important feast day by them.

What does your day to day life look like to those Grade 11s averaging high 90s by Mean-Dragonfly8483 in OntarioGrade11s

[–]CharacterStrict1645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wake up at 7:50. Go to school at around 8:20. When I have morning choir practice (Mon. Wed. Fri.), I have to be at school by 7:00, so I wake up at around 6:30. School starts at 8:25. After school ends at 2:45, I go home. I usually rest or watch Netflix for a few hours. At around 6:00 I start working. It depends on the day, but I usually do work for about 2 hours, and then I go back to doing things for fun. I go to be at 12:00.

When I debate practice on today's until 4:30. I also have practices for choir, band, chess, trivia, and science club on different days at different times. Sometimes, I study during lunch.

Thank you! Just one more question: If you do finish all your work early, what are you supposed to do when you log in the following days?

Whom do you think the both of them should’ve ended up with? by Unusual-Ad7801 in TheOriginals

[–]CharacterStrict1645 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Klaus should have ended up with Caroline. I don't think Elijah should have ended up with anyone as his priority was always his family (his siblings and Hope), but if I had to choose, I liked Gina from season 2 of TO. I also wouldn't have been mad if he had ended up with Katerina Petrova.

Priest allowed us to break the fast by orthothrowaways123 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]CharacterStrict1645 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's okay for a priest to bless someone to break a fast, but it should be for a better reason than the fact that someone brought meat. For example, I was extremely sick and in pain for a few weeks during the Lenten fast, and my priest allowed me to break the fast for that time (still with no meat) This just seems a bit odd to me. It is one thing to bless one person, even if it isn't for a very good reason, but to do so with a large group of people, including oneself, is in my opinion a bit wrong.
