The church is in Old Jerusalem by the Lion’s Gate, and is itself a sacred site. The church has the relics of Holy and Righteous Anna, the mother of the Most Holy Theotokos, and the iconostasis, brought from the Russian St. Panteleimon’s Monastery on Mt. Athos.
One day my husband and I went to church. Blessed Babushka Katya came up to him, looked him at affectionately, took a mourning veil out from somewhere, dropped it right in front of him, and suddenly disappeared into the crowd.

Each of us has his or her own memories and special God-sent people and life events. I miss those whom I met on my paths of life. Whenever I see or learn that someone has a need I pray for them to God as I rarely have a chance to help people substantially. When speaking with the poor, I try to give these people (who do not receive simple human attention, love and care) the opportunity to pour out their souls to me, to share their worries and concerns with me.
