The Life of St. John Doukas Vatatzes III, Emperor of Nicaea, Sleeping King w/ Gregory Heers. Aether Hour Ep. 39
In this much anticipated deep dive Gregory Heers, translator for UMP & son of Fr. Peter Heers, joins us to discuss the saintly life and rule of St. John Doukas Vatatzes III, Emperor of Nicaea.
