Happy New Year everyone! (I am not sure if the OC celebrates the new ecclesiastical year tomorrow... but if not 'Happy New Year in 13 days!')

And a special 'Xronia Pola!' to our dearest Effie who celebrates with Saint Euterpe tomorrow and her 39 sisters in martyrdom! Have a blessed, bright, beautiful nameday and many God pleasing years, dear Effie!

'Many God pleasing years!' to all who celebrate on 1st of September and especially to those who celebrate with Saint Symeon the Stylite one of the pillars of Orthodoxy, who ascended and lived on a pillar, and who -as called by a church historian and a contemporary of the Saint- was "the great wonder of the world".

Thank you Nina, and I return your blessing a thousand times.

Today as you know is also the start of our religious year. The church bells started ringing very early in the morning.

Effie
