Well, of course it's about my life and stuff I think about. Just like a quadzillionbazillion other bloggers. I'm obsessed with God. I love beauty, enjoy absurdity, dance with despair, seek silence, and think everyone is goofy. Here's my world and what I think of it....

Vasily Bob???? LOLOLOL!!!
Clearly he's not drinking my zaidie's vodka which, and I quote, "Is grand stuff this, wid pit ze dampers on ald Nick himself" or something to that effect, it's hard to reproduce the accent.
OK, so at least we know the tapping isn't actual demons. Heck, even if I, of all unworthy priests, bless a house, there is no noticeable demonic activity afterward (at least not until after I leave). Surely Father Vasily Bob, with a name like that, is better than I. So I am confident it is just noisome children or some such nuisance. But I am sitting on the edge of my seat (quite literally; there is a cat taking up the rest of the chair) in anticipation.
Oh good, it's not just me who's waiting to figure out what it is. I thought it was some gnostic Orthodox stuff I wasn't permitted to know as I am not elite. hehehehe.....
I haven't run into any "exotic convert names" in my time exploring the EOC. I have, however, run into a lot of Johns.
In this convert-and-Romanian heavy Antiochian church, the pastor emeritus is John and the current pastor is also John. One of the readers who is always vested even when not reading is also a John.
In a Arab Antiochian parish, I was relieved to learn the pastor's name was Hanna. Until I learned it was the Arab cognate of John.
Those first three Johns all have different birth names, so you can't peg them all as Barsanuphoi, who I am convinced is the patron saint of embarrasing convert names.
Hi, could you please explain this one to me
Elias, In the Matins service the 4th Ode of the canon usually recounts the spiritual accomplishments of the saint commemorated. This is definitely an "inside joke".
