8. Mary was my mom as was her mom, my grandmother.

Tue Oct 21, 2025, 01:34 AM

Yesterday

I was baptized and chrismated (christened) in the Eastern Orthodox Christian Tradition of Faith. My maternal grandmother, Mary, was of the (Roman) Catholic Tradition of Faith.

I make an endeavor to adhere to my Faith as best as I am able.

We Orthodox have our Ikons as you may know. I have one of +St. Anthony of Padua+ in my Ikon corner along with a cross, and another Ikon of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God.

St. Anthony has always come to my aid in uncovering misplaced items. Always!

And I do pray to +Holy St. Francis+ for his protection for all animals.
