2024 Orthodox Events

Sacred Alaska

Here is a wonderful new film over 2 yrs. in the making, featuring our beloved Fr. Michael of blessed memory among others, that was just finished and is making the rounds of the theatres right now.

“Sacred Alaska” is an award-winning documentary that offers an intimate look into Native Alaskan culture and spirituality. It showcases the profound influence of Orthodoxy, introduced by Russian monks in the late 18th century, on Alaskan society. The film highlights the unique way Alaskans have woven their indigenous beliefs with Orthodox traditions, deeply influencing their worldview. Central to this is the concept of learning to become a “real person.” Through beautiful cinematography and powerful storytelling, “Sacred Alaska” underscores the profound, sacred bond between the Alaskan people, their faith, and the formidable landscape they call home.

Iconography and Music Programs

St. Tikhon’s Monastery recently invited Horyzon Pictures to come document and showcase the place of the monastery and the life of arts education they are offering in their music and iconography programs. As the arts are a vital part of our Orthodox faith, the monastery offers one-of-a-kind residencies for Orthodox artists to deepen their life of faith while honing their artistic skills. Orthodox musicians and artists have the opportunity to come to the monastery to live and study music and iconography taught by professional musicians and esteemed iconographers.
