Hi Kamikat - you must go where you feel comfortable and where God speaks to you. I will miss you here on the group; I don't post a lot but I do read a lot and I feel sad that you will leave. I personally spent years and years searching for my true religion, and the only church that "spoke" to...

Oh eoe, this is wonderful!!! Congratulations to you, God Grant You Many Many Years!!! That is so cool that you are going to receive Holy Communion at that very same church. I wish I could go to Ireland and visit where my Patron Saint was!! (Mine is Saint Brigid of Kildare). I am praying for...

Yes, that is the same Anastasia that you are referring to. It was a horribly sad thing that happened to that family. Very tragic.

Hi Fallingwaters, I wish you could visit an actual Orthodox church near you to see the beauty of the icons. We don't worship or idolize them. They are beautiful paintings of Christ, of Mary, of the Apostles, of the Saints, and yes of the life of Christ. I am actually Russian Orthodox, and...

I live in Maryland and there is a huge Mormon temple close to Washington D.C. Anyway, when you are traveling along a certain interstate (I can't remember which one, sorry) you can see the temple to your right - it's huge and has a golden angel with a trumpet on top. Anyway one day I was on...

We are without pews at our church. We just kneeled on the rugs on the floor. My son, who is 22, griped about how hard it was to be on his knees for that long. I said, try hanging on a cross for a much longer period of time. He didn't say anything back to me... Autumngirl

I am so sorry - I'm praying for you.

Oh and I read a book about this woman who left the Mormon faith, it was like "tell-all" book and she described this awful long underwear with holes in it that they all have to wear ALL THE TIME ....they scare me.... LOL

Hi Rainbowbright, Be prepared because your new "friends" will KEEP coming back. Years ago when I was in college, there was a very beautiful display in the college student union building. They had a "guest book" for visitors to leave their thoughts about the display, how did you like the...

Yes, I should have thought of Frederica's books - she's the Khouria at my church and she is the nicest person. Her books are very down to earth, humorous and honest, and she explains everything in a very easy to understand way. Very easy and enjoyable to read. Hey, my son was a bit uneasy when...

And speaking of Irish, my patron saint is Saint Brigid of Kildare.... Autumngirl

Hi CarpathoRussyn, I 'm glad to hear you are feeling better. I will keep you in my prayers. It must have been terrible to be in the hospital for that length of time. Just take it slowly and each day you will feel stronger. Christ is Risen! Indeed He has Risen! Autumngirl

Hi Dear Khaleas! I haven't been on the forum in a while; I didn't know you were moving... where are you moving to?? Also I hope you and yours had a blessed and beautiful Pascha. Happy Bright Week. I am praying for you my friend. Autumngirl

Hi - I have befriended someone, who is a very nice, single mom - she's a few years younger than me. Anyway, she recently told me she is wiccan. I don't know much about wicca; I've searched on the internet and read about it. It appears to not be some evil, satanic type of "religion" but I...

Dear Kamikat, Yeay for you! I know when I first started attending Orthodox church some things were totally unknown and strange to me, coming from a Baptist background. But just do things as you feel comfortable doing them - take it slowly - no rush. Eventually everything will feel easy and...
