PHOTOS: Greek Orthodox Church

Our church comes from the Reformed tradition of Christianity.  This branch of the faith has largely abandoned religion art in the sanctuary in favor of a much more spare and sparse experience.  But some other Christian traditions are very different in this.  We visited the St. Barbara Greek Orthodox Church this past weekend for their Odyssey Greek Festival, and took the chance to see the amazing art on display there.  We thought you might enjoy seeing some of the photos.  Click on the image below for the whole set.

COOL TOOLS: Online Interlinear Bible

An interlinear Bible is one which gives you the translated English text in parallel with the relevant original Greek or Hebrew text of the scripture. It is a great resource if you are curious EXACTLY what a specific word or phrase meant when the original writer put it down. These tend to be expensive, but now you can find free tools to do the same thing online! If you're interested to see the language the original writers were working in, it is worth clicking through and trying it out.
