Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we consider the point of view of the Orthodox Church (in particular, Serbian and Russian) on the crisis of motherhood, ie. about the neglect of elementary missions of women (and men) for duty for procreation, as well as disturbed educational function which gives to the mother. Such wifely duties Orthodox Church considered as patriotic duty and the key to salvation (especially) women.
