{"product_id":"british-orthodox-white-mug","title":"British Orthodox Christian Coffee Mug","description":"\u003cp\u003eOrthodox Christianity in Britain represents one of the most profound and historically resonant chapters in the story of the ancient faith taking root in the Western world, for Britain has deep and ancient connections to Orthodox Christianity that predate the Norman Conquest and the subsequent division between Eastern and Western Christendom. The Celtic Church of the British Isles, with its great saints including Patrick of Ireland, Columba of Iona, Cuthbert of Lindisfarne, David of Wales and Aidan of Lindisfarne, was in many respects closer in its spirituality, its monastic tradition and its theology to the Orthodox East than to the later Western developments that followed the Great Schism of 1054. Many of these ancient British saints are venerated in the Orthodox Church today. In the modern era the Orthodox presence in Britain has grown enormously through immigration from Greece, Cyprus, Russia, Serbia, Romania and other Orthodox lands, and through a significant number of British converts to Orthodoxy. The monastery founded by Saint Sophrony of Essex in Tolleshunt Knights remains one of the most important Orthodox spiritual centres in the Western world. Britain is home to a growing and vibrant Orthodox community maintaining the ancient faith on this island.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.\" (John 1:5)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eO Lord Jesus Christ, through the prayers of Saints Patrick, Columba, Cuthbert, David and all the ancient saints of the British Isles, and through the prayers of Saint Sophrony of Essex, bless and protect all Orthodox Christians in Britain and grant a renewal of the ancient faith in this land.
