"she never left the temple but worshiped night and day waiting for the child who would redeem the world"

This woman was faithfully ministering in the place of God, this picture was taken at a 5th century monastery, it is the only place on the North side (that I know of) where greeks are living, this woman and another older man keep the monastery in order. When we were there visiting I recognized a face that had seen much, and a character that had been tested by years of trials, but she was faithful in the "house" of her God.

"Prayer reenter history with incalcuable effects. Our earth is shaken daily by it"
