I love the colors and the gold dangly-things on that Icon. I have my own copy of the Akathist now (Byzantine Catholic, I think). I like to get it out and read a few estrofas when the Grumps hit.
I hope to go back to St. Nektarios during the Greeks’ Lent this year. I saw their priest at Sam’s Club last week; he didn’t want to buy Girl Scout cookies :-). The next day we saw a Chabad Jewish man!

Probably a cheapskate!

OK, I’ll bite. Did he buy any cookies?
