The True Story of the Romanov Family - Hardcover or Paperback - Lives of Saints - Book
This large-format book is the work of Diaconeşti Monastery in Romania. It is a labor of love, motivated by deep respect for these revered saints and devotion to those martyred during the communist persecution of the 20th century.
Drawing from numerous historical sources—studies, memoirs, and diaries—they have meticulously reconstructed key moments in the life of the Imperial Family and presented them in a visually captivating format suitable for readers of all ages. From the love story between Nicholas and Alix to the children’s education in the Imperial Palace, from the tragedy of the Otsu Incident to the prophetic meeting with the Blessed Pasha Ivanovna of Diveevo, all are captured in impressionable illustrations, crowned with artistic refinement by the eleven Fabergé eggs—famous jewels from the Romanov collection—depicted on the book’s title page.
This publication aims not only to captivate enthusiasts of Romanov history but also to offer a model for the values of family, faith, and dignity in a world where these are increasingly under threat.
So, dear reader, open your heart and come meet the characters inside this book! They are princes and princesses who really lived—in our world, not in fairy tales, more than a hundred years ago. You will travel with them through grand palaces and amazing gardens, on majestic ships, but also through less happy places. You will learn, along with them, the power of love, friendship, sacrifice and dedication. You will see that there are good and bad people in the world, but evil is always defeated. The journey begins in one of the most vast countries in the world and ends in the sky, above the clouds, in a place called the “Promised Land,” a place to which we all aspire. May you make the most of this amazing journey, dear friend!
