Every once in a while the local secular media asks me to write a story on the practice of religion within our community. Yesterday’s assignment was one of my favorites; I was asked to do a photo-essay of the Ukrainian Catholic church’s Feast of Jordan (Epiphany). Our local Ukrainian Catholic parish is the only Eastern church – Catholic or Orthodox – in the city.
Here’s a pic of Fr. Jaroslaw blessing the water:
Here’s a link to the story, complete with photo-gallery:
