Re: Girl candle bearers during Holy Saturday matins
I never asked why ; I assumed it was a venerable tradition. Visually, these young Pathfinders, or Russian Scouts, add a lot to the LIturgy by their presence. They would guard Christ's sepulchre in shifts of I think 2 or 4 at a time. I have forgotten exactly. Then each shift would be relieved by new ...

Re: "The Pillar and Ground of the Truth"?
I think it's very important - if not essential - that JamesR QUESTIONS openly and honestly the way he does here. So many in the general public whisper behind others' backs, but keep a false smile pasted on. Then criticisms fester and discontent begins, which only leads down the slippery slope. It is...

Re: Sugary soft drinks - Just say "NO" if you can!
^ Good ! It really IS like that ! All fizzy and full of chemicals which eat away at probably the insides.
I noticed the other day that Sprite and Fanta are
1) still around after all these years
2) I think made by CocaCola, too
Velly suspicious !

Re: Please pray re CAL AB 1266 – Forced Co-Ed Locker Rooms
Exactly, Stephen and Maria ! Now, Maria, do you mean that all restrooms would be "co=ed" and that is why not to use them ? I have not been in one for ages and ages and ages ! I felt early on that they were vile. That was decades ago - so one can not even imagine about now ! Or do you mean ...

Re: RUSSIAN AUTOCRACY AND ENGLISH MONARCHY by Vladimir Moss
A few small points. I have never heard of a Gytha fleeing to Kiev and marrying into the royal lineage there ? Has to be investigated ; sound like one of the usual fairy tales invented later as a comforting hyposthesis...no offense to the author. Maybe he is right but sounds strange to me. Then, i wo...

Re: Girl candle bearers during Holy Saturday matins
Hmm ! Interesting that these girls are not likely to stay in church anyway after they turn of age ....that is revealing that no "gimmicks" or inclusion in ceremonies are able to keep them interested. At least not for very long apparently. The whole use of the girls in the way shown in the ...
