About Me
- Michael
- I am an Orthodox Christian and a Reader in the Diocese of Great Britain and Ireland, serving with the blessing of His Grace Archbishop Mark. I struggle along, much like most people, but I do what I can, by God's grace. I have a love for the worship of the Orthodox Church - both eastern and western - and long for the day when we have a local Orthodox Church in Britain, giving a single voice and witness of the ancient Faith of these isles to the people of these isles, with their various backgrounds and walks of life.

And a blessed Pachal season to you too.
Christ is Risen!
What a wonderful icon this is, one of my fav's
Thank you, Ian.
Yes, it is wonderful, isn't it Anderson? Christ standing triumphantly on the trampled gates of Hades, with its symbols of restriction and bondage shattered and strewn all over, no longer having any purpose; Christ yanking our first parents from their stagnant states to fulness of life now that the Incarnation, Death and Resurrection have happened.
Splendid!
Alleluia! Christ is risen!
Happy Easter to you too!
Mark
Alleluia! A blessed Paschal season to you.
(I'm visiting courtesy of MadPriest's good recommendation.
A blessed Easter to both of you, and welcome to you, jane r. :-)
