The Convent is named after the Holy Martyr Elisabeth Romanov, and it draws its inspiration from the good works of Saint Martha and Maria Convent, which she established during her life.

We are a convent that is open to the world and pursues an active social ministry in hospitals and long-term care institutions, in education, among bed-ridden patients, the disadvantaged and the poor. In the words of our spiritual father Andrey Lemeshonok, we were called to bring comfort to sorrowful hearts and hear their pleas for help.

The history of the sisterhood, its churches and monastics teach us one important lesson: the Lord has the power to create good things out of nothing; He can defy our understanding of our possibilities and capabilities in our lives. With Him, the impossible becomes possible. The creation of this Convent is yet another proof of this truth.

Leila is a Lebanese iconographer from Zahlé.

She is Orthodox Christian and has been an iconographer since 2012.

Trisagion Films mission is to bring the Orthodox faith to all by presenting tangible theology through original videos and articles, all to the glory of God. We cover aspects of Orthodox worship and practice, pilgrimage, the lives of the saints, iconography and the sacred arts, and recordings of homilies, interviews, and special events. Trisagion Films is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to sharing the Orthodox faith.

Trisagion Films was born out of our founder’s combined love for films and the Orthodox faith. It began first as ‘Orthodox YouTube’ but soon he realized that we needed a more original name. He thought of the Greek word ‘trisagion’ which means ‘thrice-holy’ and how it is part of one of the earliest hymns and prayers of the church. So, on April 6, 2012, Trisagion Films was officially founded as a channel on YouTube. We later added a website and are now active on social media as a way to share what we create as well as communicate with our audience. May we all be guided with the help of Christ's love to enter his divine and heavenly kingdom.

Painter, Iconographer, Printmaker & Poet who lives and work in Jurmala in Latvia.

I record time, ask questions, look for answers, get angry, rejoice, grieve, wander, climb my endless mountain. Where do we come from and where are we going? The Eternal Question...

In my search for an answer, I descended into the deepest and darkest depths of my soul, seeing what I would not want to see. But, there it is... I flew as high as my mind could. It all stays in my art like a footprint.

Any painting is just one, another step on my personal mountain. I do not know where the tip of the head is, but I keep climbing, keep searching...

Michael Kapeluck was born in the Unites States in the Western Pennsylvania town of Carnegie just outside of Pittsburgh. He is the grandson of Ukrainian immigrants and has been a lifelong communicant of his local parish of St. Peter & St. Paul.

Michael trained in the arts for 12 years at both the Carnegie Museum of Art and Carnegie Mellon University graduating with high honors and a Bachelors of Fine Art.

After graduation he immersed himself in the local contemporary art scene showing his work at numerous area art galleries. Ultimately Michael found the secular contemporary art world to be unfulfilling, that there was something missing.

He found what he was searching for right where it always was, in the Church. He had always been part of the Orthodox faith, but when it came to his art, the Church was never given serious thought and even at times was pushed away. But now, he submitted to God and told Him to do with him what He willed. Michael quit his job and also gave up the world of secular art to devote his life to the study and creation of the sacred art of iconography.

For the past 35 years Michael has created icon murals and panels for over 30 churches across the U.S. and icon panels for hundreds of individuals. He continues to enjoy the challenge of pushing his skills to greater levels and he thanks the Lord for such a tremendous blessing to be able to have a sustained career in this sacred art of the Church. Michael continues to live, paint and worship in his home town of Carnegie.

"Artist, writer, broken-hearted for God."
