October 1917:
The Russian Revolution is born. Human history takes a new direction.
The story goes that the very month the Russian Church was assembled in council. A passionate debate was in progress about the color of the surplice to be used in liturgical functions. Some
insisted vehemently that it had to be white. Others, with equal vehemence, that it had to be purple.
Coming to grips with a revolution is more of a bother than organizing a liturgy. I'd rather say my prayers than get involved in neighborhood disputes.
