"The fact that my spiritual father is 6'5" in his stocking feet doesn't hurt. With his kalimavki on he looks 7' tall!"

When I was a child, I was so terrified of our priest, I kept calling him "Good god, good god!" He just looked like soemthing from a fairytale.

I have a nephew who, when he was about three years old was really into super heroes. On Sunday he was at church and asked my sister, "Mommy, why does the "bureest" wear a cape? Is he a super hero? Is that his hide out (pointing to the altar)?"

Before Metropolitan Christopher was Metropolitan Christopher he was Father Vel and he was my priest from birth all the way up to high school. He was born and raised in Texas so to this day I always expect Serbian Orthodox priests to speak with a Texas drawl :-D
