Ambrosia ... lol .... they make that too :-)

(Shhhh ... don't tell Abouna but I definitely prefer Felafel over Kibbe, his favorite :-)

Latins used to use three fingers

Some of us Catholics still do.

We had a grape vine in the backyard of the house I grew up in. My family had befriended a Greek family during our travels in Korea. When they came to visit us, the mother used fresh leaves from our vine to make dolmas (sp?). Mmmm!

Yes, I have been reminded of that by a young trad. Thanks, I didn't know that until this thread.

I am in Vancouver, and am an active parishoner at Holy Rosary. There's actually a son as well, he's in the Secret Service. He was in the Air Force while they were going to the Ruthinian Rite.

They introduced my parents to homeschooling. And beautiful Icons.

Experiencing a chanted liturgy, seeing incense waft heavenward, watching a priest make profound bows before the Tabernacle, hearing him chant the words of Consecration in Aramaic - the language of Christ, receiving communion by intinction and on the tongue, celebrating the major feasts with profound reverence and lyrical prayers that reach deep into the soul... Trisham, if you are ever afforded the opportunity to attend an Eastern Catholic liturgy, please avail yourself of it. When RCs ask my Abouna about the differences between the Latin and Maronite liturgies, he replies with: "Same faith; different flavor". He is absolutely right!

I will. Thank you so much for your recommendation. I had no idea.

Wow. Now that's expensive perfume.

Torture me, will you? :)
