Yes, it’s been quite the hiatus in posting. The end of the school year was very busy and I just gave myself permission to go on a blog vacation.
Back to more regular posts now. The above photos are from a last-minute jaunt to Holy Archangels Monastery near Kendalia. It’s always good to go, but it was HOT.
Praying With My Feet 
You must have driven right past my house!!! (I was in Pennsylvania, or traveling back…)
I hope you had a wonderful visit with the monks.

Pretty close, but we skirted south of Austin to avoid the traffic. Sometime we’ll have to take a dedicated trip!

It’s so pretty out there! And it was nice to see the chapel this time too.

I got impressed when I saw these photographs . The interior of the chapel is similar to greek churches. Same icons, same seats. It`s impressive to see people from different culture have so many things in common. Here, in Greece, we have grown up in Orthodoxy and faith is something we are used to. In other countries, like yours , you have to struggle to discover Orthodoxy and when you believe in God you do it consciously. So your faith is more pure than ours.

Well, this is a Greek monastery! 😀 It is one of the many that Elder Ephraim started in America.

Do you know that Elder Ephraim is from a village near Volos, our region ? When he was young, he contributed in the establishment of a monastery near us and we visit it quite often.
