The beauty of the Divine Liturgy and the sacred architecture/iconography of an Orthodox Church is such that no matter where I am in the world my immediate feeling upon seeing one or entering one is “I know this place!”
And I had just such an experience when I saw this photo. I got excited because I mistakenly thought it was the parish where my wife and I were married and our son was baptized almost twenty years ago in Indianapolis, Indiana.
On closer inspection it is a photo from a parish in Tennessee. To me, this phenomenon is indicative of a Faith that connects through time and space reaching back 2000 years. It’s like a time machine because it is truly timeless.
