I
purchased this in Jerusalem in 2007 when my wife and I were at St. George's
College attending an eight day course entitled "Holy Fire" which followed the Holy
Week and Easter Liturgies according to the Orthodox tradition. It was the year of
my 40th anniversary or Ordination to the Priesthood. It was a rich time to be in
the city as Passover, Eastern and Western Easter fell on the same weekend.
