Novgorod Codex

Novgorod’s primeval pearl, white circlet of the free Once lost and forgotten in the Kievan sea Veiled in millennium old shells, made from wax and birch Grave of pure souls liberated, cast from the church Of those forgotten who followed Father Alexandra Revered soldier of Christ, from the house of Laodicea Obedient, splitting the world into darkness and light Dedicated to the Christian faith’s light and plight “Coveting nothing, leaving villages and kin O Father Alexandra, please forgive every sin Defender, save our spirits from the flesh of skin Evil, death and sin were born before the world we see" X was their guiding moon, in that Kievan sea
