A New Understanding of Nobility – A Call for Our Time

Pavilion 4.1

Today we live in an era when society has lost its understanding of honour or noble character. In modern man, we see only with extreme rarity a striving to choose the good, to do good works, to work honestly, act bravely and stand for truth, without compromise. To restore a spirit of thanksgiving would give us hope to overcome the consequences of the anthropological catastrophe of the 20th century in Russia.
