inSPIREd Sunday


The picture was taken almost 30 years ago,
when Kodachrome was king.  This is
the monastery of the Taxiarchis, in Panormitis,
on the Greek island of Symi.  My family and I
spent a couple of idyllic days here as guests of the bishop,
who showed us the miraculous icon
of the archangel Michael that's housed here.
(This is also where we saw the Milky Way
for the very first time.  
Unforgettable in lots of ways.)
