And, if you liked that blog, you will also probably enjoy IGREJAS ORIENTAIS [igrejasorientais.blogspot.com], which appears to offer info on the Melkite, Maronite, Eastern Orthodox (Antiochian, I believe), Coptic Orthodox, and Syriac Orthodox communities in Mexico. I believe that the principal contributor to it may be one of the main contributors to the Melkite blogsite.
The blog in question is Brazilian, from a young Antiochian Orthodox Lector of Campinas - São Paulo, who wants to be a priest.
Thanks, Philippe,
Looking back at it now, I see references to Brazil in several places and am clueless as to why I thought it might be reporting on the communities in Mexico.
Many years,

The biggest clue should be the idiom. lol It's in Portuguese not Spanish.

well, as I've noted previously, my linguistic skills are less than perfect - sometimes even less so than others.

Sorry, Neil, it must be difficult for a non-South American to distinguish. But I'll give some clues: in Portuguese we don't use "y" as "and", but "e". We don't have ~ in "n"s, as manãna, mourning (we speak manhã). And our definite articles are not "la" and "lo", but "a" and "o".
I think I may know who's the artist of Señor del Veneno's mosaics. He may be Chady Elias. I asked him. Otherwise, I take advantage of the opportunity to present him:
Chady is a melkite young artist. He was born in Lebanon, but lives today in Miami. He has his first exposition in the age of 12.He has his first exposition in the age of 12. He has expertise in iconography, painture, sculpture and digital art. One of his works is the important one of adapting the St. Jude Church in Miami , given to the Melkites, to the byzantine tradition.

Philippe,
Ahh, that would make a great deal of sense, since Father Exarch Gabriel, who is presently serving in Mexico, was formerly the pastor of St Jude in Miami. Thank you for the links and for the linguistic hints for my future use

Thanks for posting those. I already had a cropped version of the interior photo on the parish's Directory entry, but was pleased to be able to replace the older exterior one with the current photo.

So funny that this thread popped up, a month or two ago a Melkite priest from Mexico was visiting our Ruthenian parish in Anaheim. The next week he concelebrated with us.
Somebody described him to me as "the no. 2 Melkite in Mexico".
But the whole time I was wondering why a Melkite from Mexico would be giving me such a crazy sense of deja vu. Now I finally have my answer...

JJP,
Who was the priest? I'm curious because I only know of a single one there at present (Father Exarch Gabriel Ghannoum), so I'm intrigued by the 'no. 2 Melkite in Mexico'.

Ok - I found it. Some beautiful photos there. Text is challenging my Spanish though.
That is a diffrent page in order to view the link on facebook you have to "friend" them.
Got it. Thanks,
