Last evening, prior to Vespers, my wife and I were chrismated into the Holy Orthodox Church.
I chose as my patron saint, St. David the King and Prophet. My wife chose St. Kasiani (Cassiane). Since we are both musicians and have written church music, albeit western contemporary music, they both seemed very appropriate. Our Godparents gave us each a beautiful cross and an icon of our patron saint. We were truly blessed.
Today, we both received our first communion as Orthodox Christians. It was a day we will never forget. To be able to partake of the heavenly food is such a great blessing.
Glory to God for ever and ever.
