Starets Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 A few years ago, Christ in the Desert had an 88 year old novice. Now mind you he had been involved with the community for a few decades before he joined. He and his wife used to stay on the property for extended visits while they both helped out as best they could. But soon after his wife died he decided to join. He eventually became a Claustral Oblate and died a few months after his 92nd birthday. He is buried beside his wife in the monastery cemetary. His father played the role of "Christus" in the Oberammergau(SP?) Passion Play in 1900 and 1910 and he was in it in 1930 and 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
