Brides of Christ, Martyrs for Russia
Presents memoirs, letters, extracts from state security files, and biographical sketches of approximately 30 women who entered a fledgling community of Eastern Rite Dominican Sisters during the tumultuous days of the Bolshevik Revolution. The community was under the leadership of Mother Catherine Abrikosova (1882-1936). Although the community was liquidated with the arrest of nearly all the Sisters in 1923 and 1924, the Sisters, sentenced and re-sentenced over the course of thirty years, continued, in prisons, labor camps and internal exile to live out the vows they had made. After their release from the camps, the surviving Sisters reconstituted small communities in Moscow and Vilnius. Includes photos and maps.
