Wow, what a joy !
BTW, Matt, do you know of anyone who would be able to get me a tiny bottle of oil from the lampada that hangs by St John the Wonderworker's relics ? The cathedral doesn't have a web site as far as I can see.....
I might be able. If I am able, where should I send it?
What a blessing! Wow!
