Still Praying with my Feet

January 28, 2016October 12, 2016 / matushkaanna / 7 Comments

It's been many years since I started this blog and named it "Praying with my Feet". Here's the story: When my oldest three children were very small (i.e.-three, two and infant), I complained to my spiritual father that I seemed to spend more time outside the church than inside: walking/nursing the baby, removing the loud/crying … Continue reading Still Praying with my Feet

She’s here!

I can't seem to post a photo from my phone, but I don't wanted to let you all know that baby has arrived! Amelia Macrina was born at 12:56 pm weighing 7 pounds, 8 ounces, and measuring 20 3/4 inches long. She's beautiful and already a great nurser.

Holy Theophany

January 6, 2016October 12, 2016 / matushkaanna / 2 Comments

 Christ is baptized! In the River Jordan! When Thou O Lord wast baptized in the Jordan,  The worship of the Trinity was made manifest;  For the voice of the Father bare witness to Thee,  And called Thee His beloved Son.  And the Spirit in the form of a dove  Confirmed the truthfulness of His word.  … Continue reading Holy Theophany

Litya Bread (Artoklasia)

January 5, 2016September 19, 2022 / matushkaanna / 20 Comments

  Many times, the vigil before a great feast (in this case, Theophany) is celebrated with a litya service in which bread (and wheat, wine and oil) are blessed and then distrubuted to the congregation. For more information go here or here. Unlike prosphora, the bread used in the Divine Liturgy which contains ONLY flour, … Continue reading Litya Bread (Artoklasia)
