No, I'm not being lazy
(well not much anyway) but I'm still deeply involved in getting the Kindle
edition of “A Glimpse of Heaven” ready. It's nearly completed but I'm still
looking for a few more illustrations and a few friends are proof reading.
In searching for good
photographs to use, I came across several excellent websites and blogs which I
would like to share with you, not all Orthodox but all worth a look. Although I
didn't use photos from all the sites, I would like to thank all the owners for
the kind permission they gave.
“The
Mode of Life Project” is an Australian site devoted to Orthodox articles and
resources. It's still expanding and well worth a look: http://modeoflife.org/
Christina Parlamis is the largest on line retailer of Baptism & Wedding
products and does mail order worldwide. More to the point, her site also
contains a comprehensive and extremely useful FAQ on Orthodox baptism and
weddings. http://www.blessedcelebration.com/
Ivy Liacopoulou got fed up with vague
and ambiguous recipes for Greek and Cypriot dishes so she started to write (and
test out) her own, both traditional and new. The result is a very helpful
website, backed up by her books: http://kopiaste.org/cookbooks/
What's it like to be a working Greek
Orthodox parish priest? Fr. Gregory Edwards from Volos writes a blog full of
both profundity and every day life. Highly recommended. http://edwardsingreece.blogspot.gr/
Aristotle Koskinas is an archaeologist and tour
guide based in Athens. His site is a goldmine of interesting articles about
Greek history and culture. The site is in English and Greek: http://aristotleguide.wordpress.com
and http://aristotleguidegr.wordpress.com
Mystagogy, the
wide-ranging Orthodox website of John Saidopoulos is packed with interesting
and thought-provoking articles: http://www.johnsanidopoulos.com
Anastasia Marou's blog covers all sorts of
interesting topics related to Greece: http://cordelia.typepad.com
Elizabeth Kaeton is an American Episcopelian who
runs a lively, often quirky and sometimes controversial website: www.telling-secrets.blogspot.gr
Promise I’ll get the blogs up
and running again in the new year, maybe!
A very happy St. Nicholas Day to everybody and Χρόνια Πολλά from Greece to all Nicholas's and Nikoletta's, not forgetting my granddaughter Nicole.
