Pictures of life in Jerusalem and the Jerusalem Hills. And since August 2013 also a look at the northern Negev, my new home.

Theotokos
. Theotokos in Greek means "God-bearer." This is what Eastern Orthodox Christians and Greek Catholics call Mary. "Theotokos of Vladimir" is the name of this well-known, much-loved very old icon. .
Maybe we should make a Greek alpha beta Wednesday in addition to ABC Wednesday for you purists, Kiwi. hehe But you are right, of course. Is today your Ascension Day?
