Saltaire Crucifix

I came across this crucifix early this morning while taking photos in Saltaire on Fire Island. This is on the grounds of Our Lady Star of the Sea Church.

Breaking Lenten Fast

A member of the church chorus generously invited us to her home where we experienced a Greek dinner to break Lenten fast. Margaritsa (top photo) is the traditional first dish. After dinner guests danced a folk dance, I think it was the Zeibekiko, as paper plates and napkins were thrown at their feet.

Kristos Anesti!

These are photos of the first Easter celebration at the Church of the Holy Resurrection, Brookville. They were taken for a NY Times Long Island At Worship story, April 30, 2006, by Laurie Nadel, "Celebration and Rebirth Amid the Glow of a Midnight Service". Presiding over the service was Father Emmanuel J. Gratsias and Archbishop Dimitrios of Xanthos.

SALE

Today while driving home the bright colors of this window display had me stopping to snap a few photos. The Hempstead Outdoor Store was selling out its inventory. Need a tent?

This was for a cd cover titled Soul Survivor. It's the mate (done a few years later) to the earlier post "Many Roads to Cross" with the turtle. Both use Hubble Space Telescope backgrounds.
