Translation: The Life of St Joseph the New Martyr
Orthodox Traditionalist Publications as been blessed with being able to translate 10 books from Russian on the New Martyrs and Catacomb Saints! These voluminous books were a 10 years project under taken between 2006-2016 by numerous authors in Russia who have just blessed us to translate them into English. However, these books are very large, generally between 500-700 pages with the smallest being around 350. One author who is now dying of cancer would like to see her work continued and these precious volumes translated into English for the benefit of the Holy Orthodox Church across the world.
This is where we need your help! As you all know translations are an extensive project and quite costly to under take and I foresee all of these works taking multiple years, but we would like to start with the first volume on the Life of Saint Joseph of Petrograd the New Martyr and leader of the Russian Catacomb Church, who was murdered by the Godless Soviets on 20 November 1937. If you would like to see these invaluable volumes translate into English please consider a donation for the help of our work. God Bless!
