> Dear Mitrophan,<BR>> If you've seen our calendar, at the end of the list of saints, in<BR>> italic letters, it includes righteous ones who have not been canonized but<BR>> are well known for their holy life and struggles for God. This is so they<BR>> may be commemorated at the Liturgy on their memory day, and for informing<BR>> the faithful so they may pray for their souls. This same thing is done in<BR>> calendars published in ROCOR as well.<BR>> It was, and is, in this way that Abbess Rufina of Harbin is included<BR>> in our calendar.<BR>><BR>> Sincerely,<BR>> St. Herman Press<BR>
