I went grocery shopping yesterday early afternoon and it was a zoo. Prayers for everybody going today.

I love just about all of it - feeling a bit conflicted about her face. But I get that this is a collector item and not something you give a kid (hopefully)

in addition to the cool end effect, as an artist all I can focus on is the absolutely INCREDIBLE line control there.

Very eager to hear the takeaways from this!

Omgosh congratulations! My daughter is an April baby too, I can confirm it’s a good month for babies 🤗

That is wild!

I know it! And the whole collection is at the WAM and you can see it again. They did a fabulous job with it too.

I totally understand. I sometimes see Elpidophoros trying very hard to be a leader on this and following in Iakovos’ example, but I’m not sure how much of the community wants to see that overall. Sadly I’ve heard many GO priests preach pro-MAGA stuff, it is hard for me to believe when I hear it.

Last time I went to a gender-separated liturgy was in the early 80s in my dad’s hometown in Greece, definitely not done there anymore. The menstruation thing I grew up hearing from my grandmothers, as in don’t take communion on your period & wait a few days after.

It varies!

That would get me to attend more!

Yeah I do not believe I’ve seen a national press outlet cover it correctly or understand the basics of how Orthodox Christianity operates both officially and culturally, especially in the US, and why the differences are really important

Been seeing this for years and I feel the same as you. In my experience many try out Goarch, find it’s not conservative enough for them and then go to OCA. Convert wives often are the only ones wearing head coverings… where did they get that idea from? I don’t think even my yiayiades did that.
