Wow, crazy!!! I very vaguely remember him, except for stories from my family.  My sis takes great pride in that he taught her how to snap her fingers.  It was great seeing all the clergy, many of whom are now deceased.  I recognized the deacons, wonderful men, one & all.

For those of you who are to lazy to read the book, a slava marks the day your ancestors converted to Orthodoxy.  :-) 

Metallica's da bomb... there are a lot worse names out there.  Just hired a guy (I work for a huge comp. that provides labor) who just had twin girls; Hennessy & Felony

I really really liked his books.  Time to pull them out to reread.

and another really quick... You might be from New England ..... if you can't talk more than 30 seconds without someone asking, "Where are you from?" if you have ever gone sledding off your roof. if you think 60 degreee ocean water is warm. if there are only 25 letters in the English alphabet...

<<sigh>> I miss New England... You might be a Bostonian if.... You think of Philadelphia as the "deep south." You think it's your God-given right to cut someone off in traffic. You think there are only 25 letters in the alphabet (no R). You think three straight days of 90+ is a heat...

BTW, this isn't the singing of the monastary choir, its the students from the Summer School of Liturgical Music singing.  http://sslm.hts.edu/index.do

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/musicfeature/pip/srr3u/ Have a listen, you have to have RealPlayer to hear it.  I was there the whole time, (first 2 weeks helping my mum cook, last week singing for the recording).  Enjoy. Ania

Tom, that's just disrespectful to Bp. Kiril (of San Fran), to bishops in general, and to priests as well, since they give out blessings too.

Thank you Dustin!!!  Couldn't agree more.

Just a warning, I'm considered pretty liberal for ROCOR :-P  But, if your offended by Russians keeping to their traditions, (after all, "R" in ROCOR stand for "Russian" and "Russia), why do you go?  We simply insist that people that visit respect our traditions.  ROCOR, at first organized to...

your loss my friend, leaving more of the wonderful city of boston for the rest of us.  :-D

On the other hand, aren't/weren't Uniate priests allowed be married?

I still smoke, but not nearly as much as I used to.  I'm at the point where a pack will last me longer than a week.  I'm more of a social/drinking smoker, so now that I'm about 1000 miles away from my usual haunts where I would drink/light up, I don't feel compelled to smoke.  I cut back when I...

Hey, whadaya guys have against Boston?  It's a wicked cool city.  :-P  Particularly since most of mi familia resides around it.  It's got wicked good chowda, and the people drive their cahs wicked fast, and they've got a zillion Dunkin Donuts, bubblas, lotsa wicked good bahs, (none of them...

WOW, I have obviously been away too long. First of all, my friend who wrote the quote above... Look to your own jurisdiction and its problems before bashing mine. At least ours weren't headlines in the Chicago Tribune in recent months. Some...

44% Dixie. Barely in Yankeedom.  I guess living in Virginia for 4 years rubbed off.  :-D  A lot of my speech though apparently is from the New England area, not from upstate NY where I grew up... also, one of the questions, about the pronunciation of caramel, none of the answers fit... where I...

If I ever have kids, which I hope I do, it'll be (and what my in-theory-so-far-non-existant-husband thinks, he'll just have to shut up, after all, I'll have to go through the labor)... Boys: (all family names) Diador, Roma (baptised, Roman), Crisanf, Nafanail, Alexandr Girls: Nebesna...

A bit late, but just wanted to comment that this is the first time I've seen the name Lavrentia other than my cousin, who's parents call her Laurie, but was baptised Lavrentia, and who's saint is St. Lawrence.

Here's another question... who here has actually read the Da Vinci Code, or seen the movie?  I think after vigil tonight I'll drop by the local bookstore & pick it up, time to see for myself.
