Here is another one of my favorites. It was taken by the local paper and picked up by the Associated Press. The headline read “Praying for Peace”
Basil was 5 and it was his first time serving in the altar. It was during Lent two years ago and it was a special prayer service held to pray for all at the start of the war following the attacks on September 11th.

LOL! You are right Beth! He does look rather serious and intense, with those little pursed lips. He does take his service seriously though. For his name day all he wanted was a censor . Bless is heart , he loves to bless the house with his censor and help his dad in the altar.
See this is another reason why I like orthodoxy–not only does the belief permeate your life but the ritual does as well. Need to pray harder for to smell the incense…~wink~
