THE ROOTS OF WESTERN CHRISTIANITY (PLAYLISTS)

On this page we follow the playlists of Father Andrew Stephen Damick, Deacon Seraphim Richard Rohlin and others as they travel the world, making pilgrimage documentaries, often to places where Holy Orthodoxy has made place for modern Western branches of Christianity a very long time ago. But if you know where to look, the traces are still there. 

Playlist: The Great Rood Screen.

The Great Rood Screen is a podcast about the Orthodox saints and faith of Britain and Ireland, told as those early faithful Christians told it, with piety and reverence. So join Deacon Seraphim, along with other Orthodox scholars and clergy, as they walk through the calendar of the Insular Saints day by day, story by story, and discover the great cloud of witnesses who still adorn the rood screen of history and hagiography.

Playlist: Lives of Scottish & Northumbrian Saints.

Father Andrew Stephen Damick, Deacon Seraphim and friends read a collection of saints' lives across the various places in Scotland and Northumbria where they lived and prayed.

Playlist: Celtic & Anglo-Saxon Christianity.

Playlist: The Wolf and the Cross.

Father Andrew Stephen Damick and Deacon Seraphim Richard Rohlin make an Orthodox pilgrimage to the Baltic country of Lithuania, the last country in Europe that converted to Christianity.

They tell about the centuries-long story of the Church there, learning its legends, meeting its saints, and encountering the people bringing the gospel to their own people.

This long-form documentary features interviews, music, and storytelling that will take you on a journey into this little-known land that stands at the crossroads of East and West.
