Bridegroom Services or Famous Quotations of Pavlos...


Sunday evening, when we went to venerate the icon of the bridegroom, Pavlos said, "Jesus has an owie." Now, every service since then, he repeats, "Jesus has an owie." Last night, we were in the narthex and there is another icon of the bridegroom and Pavlos just stood in front of it, staring. There was a line beginning to form behind him and he just stood there, staring. I had to force him to move on because of the line up of people waiting to venerate the icon and proceed into church.

Second famous quotation... a catechumen was baptized on Saturday of Lazarus. As he was receiving his first communion, Pavlos wanted to know, "when is it my turn to receive Holy Communion?" Nevermind that we had just finished Liturgy for Saturday of Lazarus... he also thinks that every service in the church should involve communion...

Have a blessed Holy Week!
