Matushka Olga of Alaska
In this time of COVID winter, we struggle to find ways to connect with our families and have genuine relationships with other women in the way we might have shared a coffee and chat before. Mother Matushka is not a saint officially yet but is recognized by her Alaskan Orthodox community as being a Mother of the Community. Apparently, her Mothering extends to all of North American, Canada included and I have been aware of a gentle influence while sitting with her on my pilgrimage of the discovery of Women of the Holy Cross, which was women on liturgical church calendars. Some women on his journey sat at the foot of the Cross, went in search of relics, found refuge in the imagery of the Holy Cross, and some women had by their trials become their own bearers of a cross in their lives. Matushka Olga is a Mother for Mothers and women beyond her borders and her skills as a midwife go far beyond birthing children but also seem to have a gentle capacity for deep caring and inner healing. Come sit with Mother Matushka in her spiritual home, have a cup of hot herbal tea and warm presence.
