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!

I love these stories, Christina! Pavlos has a geniune love and joy for Christ and his church that comes through!
Good job, Mom!
Hes soooooooooooo cute, but then Im a little biased:)He told Pappous all about the owie last night!
Then he was also obsessed with Jude's glasses. Jude (the newly baptized young man that Christina mentioned above) has those black framed glasses that a lot of people wear nowadays. The kind of glasses that have a lot of character, and you can't really imagine what the person would look like without them.
Well, Jude had to remove them for the "dunking." This must have caught Pavlos' attention, because thereafter he was fixated with him without his glasses. Afterwards when Jude put them back on, I heard Pavlos continue to repeat: "He has his glasses on again? He has his glasses on again?" For some reason it struck me as funny, and so cute.
Thanks for reminding me of the glasses, Katie. Pavlos has a fixation with glasses anyway... when we found out we were having a boy, he wanted to know if baby Petros would have glasses, like pappous:)
