I only want to interrupt the discussion to welcome our long-absent brother, bergschlawiner. It's good to see a post from you smile Prayers that you are well and hopes that it won't be so long before we hear from you next.

Many years,

Neil

There is (or was recently) an annual Divine Liturgy in the cathedral church in Myra.

As for the relics, perhaps the city fathers of Demre should write a letter to Santa Claus

Shlomo Abun Serge,

Well what could be done by the Church is for the relic to be transfered to the Byzantine Greek Catholic Church, and the parish that it will repose in is the one that has been closed for the last ten years.

We just need to be stratigic in what we do that is all.

Fush BaShlomo,
Yuhannon
