"The rose does not speak but puts forth a strong fragrance. We, too, should put forth fragrance, pour forth spiritual fragrance, and the fragrance of Christ. The fragrance of our deeds should be heard from far around: good, pure and righteous deeds, full of love. Only thus can the Kingdom of God appear within our hearts, appearing not through words but with power." - St. Luke the Surgeon, Archbishop of Simferopol
