Day 193 ~ Friends become Orthodox!

Jim, Tiffany and Ben
Last Saturday, three friends of mine were received into the Orthodox Church. It was a beautiful liturgy/ceremony to watch and witness. It is the custom in the Church to take on a patron Saint's Name so Jim, Tiffany and Ben can now also be known as Patrick, Anastasia  and Herman.  Ben is wearing a white robe because he also was baptized that day and after a person is immersed in the waters of baptism they are given a white robe to represent the cleansing of sins in Christ.

Congratulations to my friends!

See you tomorrow.
