Saint Innocent

St Innocent by Sparks for Orthodox Kids

October 6th

Saint Innocent was from Russia. He grew up north of Mongolia! He became bishop of all the tiny islands from Russia to Alaska and also Alaska. These Islands are called the Aleutian Islands. Saint Innocent traveled across the frigid wilderness to foster the Orthodox communities in these tiny villages. He worked relentlessly to educate his churches. He translated the Gospel into many of the native languages.

Here is another picture with The Holy Theotokos and space for you to draw. Who needs her protection (your family, home, church or maybe friends)?

Most Holy Theotokos, save us.

A shelter and protection
a wall unshaken
O Virgin for those who flee to you
You are
A shelter and refuge
and a place of joy
