I write from the comfort of the Sofitel Hotel at the Athens Airport where Lufthansa has hosted us for the evening due to bad weather in Munich that has delayed our flight for a day.  Our trip/pilgrimage to Mount Athos comes to a close as we prepare to depart for the United States.  The experiences, the lessons and the opportunities were innumerable as the blessings were equally unimaginable as we received a relic of Saint Anna from Fr. Cheroubim Apostolou of the Skete of Saint Anna.  Needless to say, the months ahead will be filled with writings and discussions concerning our trip and the blessings that have come to our parish through the Grace of the Holy Spirit and the good will of a most dear elder and friend at the Skete of our common matron.
