    Cathedral 2

    21. September 2023 in Frankreich ⋅ 🌧 72 °F

    A classic situation of knowing the language.
    Although the tourists can walk in and look around the visit into Cathedral proper is done by tours, else everyone is standing behind the rope. Sort of happened to us when Laurie attempted to ask the custodian something (and in English to boot), and I immediately took over. Within seconds, we were on the other side of the rope - with other Russians Praying to various Saints and to The Lord's Mother.

    I did informed the custodian that I will snap some photos but have all intentions of Prayng ad well. And so, after playing tourist, I recited The Lord's Prayer, which us what I do all of the time in similar situations (funny thing happened- I started it in Russian, completely out of the blue and actually got through about 1/2 before stumbling and only then switching to English) and lit a candle to St. Nicolas The Miracle Worker (the Patron Saint of the Cathedral)

    And as you can see Laurie was not done with her friend 😻

    ReisenderI love worshipers! That's of course what churches are for -- even beautiful, ancient ones. And this one is beautiful!

    ReisenderI forgot that Russians usually gobfrom one icon of their choice to another, say a Prayer, white solemnly crossing themselves and then kiss the icon; sort of venerate the icon
