1611 King James (KJV) Bible:
The 1611 King James Bible, also known as the Authorized Version, was commissioned by King James I of England in 1604 to resolve religious divisions and standardize the English Bible. Produced by 47 scholars working in committees, it was first printed in 1611, becoming a cornerstone of English literature and faith
Catherine the Great
Her real name was Sophie Auguste Friderike. Her family was part of the minor German nobility in what was then the Kingdom of Prussia.
Sophie’s secretiveness, learned early, combined with her wit and intelligence, led eventually to her crowning as Empress Catherine II of Russia in 1762, while still in her early thirties. Married to the grandson of Peter the Great at the age of fourteen, and now part of the Russian Court at St. Petersburg, she learned the Russian language, culture, and Orthodox faith. Seventeen years later her husband was crowned Tsar Peter III of Russia.
Within a year Catherine engineered a coup. Peter III was deposed and shortly afterwards assassinated. Sophie became Catherine II of Russia, known to history as Catherine the Great. Her conversion to Russian Orthodoxy seems to have been more political expediency than personal faith. She reigned until her death in 1796, at the age of sixty-seven. She was a monarch to be compared with Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria of England. Her reign witnessed one of the largest expansion of the Russian Empire in history, pushing its boundaries westward and southward, giving crucial access to the Black Sea and turning Russia into a European power.
