Although Father Ephraim was executed inhumanely and unjustly, the Lord used an unjust judicial system to secure his eternal salvation (as he said himself in his final moments). The funeral for an Orthodox Christian monk was held yesterday with the feeling of spiritual triumph pervading the air. Hundreds of people were in attendance, to support their falsely accused brother who is now rejoicing in Paradise, free from the earthly shackles that bound him for over half of his life.
