As newcomers to the Eastern Rite, my little family and I have had one magnificent experience after another throughout this whole season. Today's Divine Liturgy was simply indescribable. Several times, I was profoundly reminded of just what it really was that we were celebrating. The harmony of the chants was close and very beautiful. We are truly blessed.

My oldest daughter and I attended a Greek Orthodox devotion to the Blessed Mother a week ago Friday, on the advice of FReeper Koloko-whatever. I thought it was beautiful, and I plan to spend more time meditating on the texts of the liturgy during the Easter season, and include some of it in our family devotions.

My daughter is 15, and she thought an electric guitar would be a good addition :-).
