I hope your little Saint Andrew is doing well and getting to see grandma often 😉 Growing up in small towns in the midWest I had never seen any big Eastern Christian churches until I went off to college. I love the icons in these churches.
Same for me. My little Midwestern town had 2 churches. Methodist and Congregational. My grandparents drove out of town to attend a new Lutheran church. It wasn't until I began traveling to other countries that I saw how narrow my childhood world had been! Did you ever visit the Swedenborgian Church of San Francisco?
I didn't ever go but I do remember you posting pictures? or asking about it once when I was living out there 🙂
I may have some old prints, but I visited back in the days of film cameras and didn't take many photos. It was all so nature oriented, I really thought it was gorgeous.
