Bessing the Pacific







Sunday, for the feast of Theophany, we blessed the Pacific. During the prayers, we saw some locals fishing, who caught fish after fish. Behind us, a family was grilling up the fresh fish, and after the service they asked what we were doing. We explained a little about Orthodoxy and about how we were praying over the ocean and had enjoyed watching their incredible catch. "That was 'cause you were praying," the man said.
