Apostle to the Plains: The Life of Father Nicola Yanney

Description: Apostle to the Plains: The Life of Father Nicola Yanney by The Saint Raphael Clergy Brotherhood (Author) Paperback – September 5, 2019 -NEW This work is a study of the migration in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries from the Turkish Ottoman Empire's province of Greater Syria to the United States, fleeing from Muslim oppression with a specific focus on the early Syrian-Lebanese Christian communities. The book describes the background and causes of emigration, the establishment of the Syrian-Lebanese settlement, churches and affiliated societies, everyday life in the community, and the acquisition of United States citizenship. In 1892, this young man left his home in the coastal foothills of Lebanon in search of a better life. Coming to America with his newlywed wife, he found work as a traveling peddler before settling on a small farm in central Nebraska. Years later, personal tragedy and an unexpected midnight visit from a saint changed the course of his life. Seeing the desperate need of his fellow Orthodox Christians and heeding God s call, he would spend the rest of his life traversing the Great Plains as a circuit-riding priest, known to his thousands of parishioners as Father Nicola Yanney. His legacy stands alongside that of St. Raphael Hawaweeny, his mentor, as a seminal force in the American Orthodox Church of our day. A wonderful book for anyone of Middle Eastern decent to learn their own family history and understand what their ancestors went through emigrating and becoming American!----------------------------------------- Paperback: 288 pages Publisher: Ancient Faith Publishing 1st Edition (September 5, 2019) Language: English Product Dimensions: 8.5 x 5.5 x 0.65 inches Shipping Weight: 12 ouncesISBN-10: 1944967656 ISBN-13: 978-1944967659----------------------------------------- Shipping: Dear Buyers, PLEASE BE PATIENT for your packages to be shipped and to arrive!
