  1. Thanks for posting. I thought about lighting a candle on Innocent's grave, but the grass was so dry I didn't want to start a fire! I love the story of the monk on the Holy Mountain who went into the ossuary after Pascha Liturgy to say "Christ is risen!" to the departed monks. When they answered back, "Indeed He is risen!" he nearly had heart failure. (;
