sielos ilgesys Member Registered: 05/07/09 Posts: 1090 Loc: Texas/USA	We get to commemorate the holy prophet Elijah today (http://orthodoxwiki.org/Elijah) and it's customory to bless wheeled vehicles in memory of his transportation to heaven via fiery chariot...I love his story...all those conflicts/confrontations with that wicked ol'queen Jezebel...the contest with the priests of Baal and what he had done to them after they lost the contest. also today we commemorate http://orthodoxwiki.org/Maria_Skobtsova and her courageous companions...one of her biographies is called "The Rebel Nun" and that appeals to me already...she puts me in mind of the RC Blessed Restituta Kafka: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Restituta Edited by sielos ilgesys (07/20/11 11:21 AM)
