From the canon for the Bodiless Powers that we celebrate their feast today (new calendar), 5th ode.

by your ceaseless intercessions before Him,
destroy the turmoil of battles,
the heresies [/schisms] in the Church
and every block of stumbling,
and keep us in peace.

I like it on my sandwiches. I needed another jar from the store, and on sale BOGO, it cost the same as the non-BOGO price used to be, so I said, screw that.

That's good to know. Otherwise, I think I'd rather wait until they all fall out and get dentures. Good motivation to floss, I guess!

The last of Albania's 'sworn virgins'

An ancient Balkan tradition where women take a celibacy oath and live as men is on the decline, with only a dozen remaining - as young women in Albania fight against everything the tradition stands for.

Canon in D is a beautiful song. I love it. But it hurts to hear, and it seems to be freaking everywhere this year. That's all.
