Well my husband and I just spent a couple of days at the Antiochian Village in Ligonier, Pennsylvania (OCA). So you can only guess how many times we came into contact with objects that others also kissed, touched etc. From talking to the priests no one could remember one time a group of people became ill from one of these gatherings.

OTOH just read the news papers and see how many people on a cruse ship or in hotels become ill from close contact with each other.

Most of the time, that's due to contaminated water supplies.

Indeed, dear Kathleen, when God is among us, no logical and/or scientific explanations hold true. Miracles occur all the time without us even realizing or thinking about them, and I believe that what the good priests of Antiochian village have shared with you is a miracle of God's grace and protection. Glory to His name. smile

In Christ,
Alice
