The Nativity of the Holy Virgin Church
January 7 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
The Nativity of the Holy Virgin Orthodox Church was founded in Menlo Park in 1952 by Russian émigrés from China and Europe.
I was lucky enough to come in on a Orthodox Christmas service.

This is one of the things I miss most about the Orthodox church. The visual impact is amazing.
TravelerIt is although Catholics do give them the run for the money. What I found strange though is that all through the service there was constant movement- people would walk in and walk out and move around... kinda like a sea...swirling and ebbing..
