Orthodox Visit


On Sunday I visited some college friends in St. Cloud. We decided to go to a Greek festival at an Orthodox church not far from campus. We listened to Greek music, watched Greek dancers, and ate Greek food such as Greek salad, Spinach and feta in phyllo dough, and five kinds of Greek desserts. We toured the Orthodox church and talked to a greeter. He explained that church goers stand during the service to show by their posture that they are attentive. He showed us around the church and pointed out the Orthodox icons. The street was blocked off and we sat at tables and ate our food and watched the people. Such diversity was definitely not a part of St. Cloud when we went to school there.


PS Egg update - one more today. That makes 3.
