I can't view that right now (I'm at work). I'm on my way out the door though to try to catch some of the Matins tonight.

I will definitely spend time at that site tonight. Thanks.

I will never forget on my first Holy Saturday, the one on which I was soon to become officially Orthodox. The bishop was there and spoke of the Holy Light, which I had never heard of. He told about going to see it as a young adult layperson and seeing these blue lights/flame balls bouncing around. He picked them up and held them in his hands. A nun next to him told him to cross himself with them and he did. He was not burned by the balls of fire. It was the most incredible story I have listened to.
When this future-bishop got home he turned everything in his life around and entered a monastery. And now he is the bishop of San Francisco, Kyrill.
