Canonization of the Romanoff Family (Teachings of the Orthodox Church) Christianity. Orthodoxy. Catholicism. Sense of life. Articles for Christians.
Don't be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.                Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.                Consider the ravens: they don't sow, they don't reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!                Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?                If then you aren't able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?                Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don't toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.                But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?                Don't seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.                For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.                But seek God's Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.

Canonization of the Romanoff Family (Teachings of the Orthodox Church)
   

QUESTION:

To the Orthodox Church of America,

Your work is both admirable and welcome, however as a concerned European pro- Tsarist I wish to submit a question to the Q&A feature on your excellent website!

What is your opinion on the last of the Romanoff Tsars and their martyrdom at Ekateringburg? Will the canonisation of the Saint-Tsar-Emperor-Autocrat Nicholas Aleksandrovich II Romanoff and the Empress -- Tsaritsa Aleksandra Fyodorovna -- their 4 daughters and the Tsarevitch -- Grand Duke Aleksei -- be supported by the Orthodox Church in America?

ANSWER:

Thank you for your enquiry.

Only the Moscow Patriarchate has the prerogative to determine whether the Royal Family should, or should not, be canonized. As such, if the canonization takes place, the other autocephalous Orthodox Churches, including the Orthodox Church in America, would naturally accept this action.
