The Relics of St Valdimir of Kiev

Holy Prince Vladimir,

you were like a merchant in search of fine pearls.

By sending servants to Constantinople for the Orthodox Faith, you :found Christ, the priceless pearl.

He appointed you to be another Paul,

washing away in baptism your physical and spiritual blindness.

We celebrate your memory,

asking you to pray for all Orthodox Christians and for us, your :spiritual children.

St Symeon the Stylite Party

September 1 is St Symeon the Stylite's Feast Day.

Here is the remains of the actual pillar.

We enjoyed watching an interpretative movie on his life.

We had stacked snacks!

YUM!

We had a great time together!

So much LAUGHTER!

Good Times!

Thou soughtest the heights, though parted not from things below;

thy pillar became a chariot of fire for thee.

Thou becamest thereby a true companion of the angelic host;

and together with them, O Saint, thou ceaselessly prayest Christ God for us all.
