GREECE SENDS YOU ANGELIC SOUNDS
Dedication to JoAnne~Maggie Makris
Corfu,
or Kerkyra, as it is also known, is one of the most popular islands in the
Ionian. Corfu is a very beautiful and mountainous island, and was one of the first
Greek Islands to attract tourism on a large scale.Corfu has everything that one could need to make the most out of their
"Greek Island" holiday. The main town of Corfu, aptly named "Corfu Town" is one of the
most beautiful and elegant island capitals throughout Greece. There are
many beautiful beaches around Corfu, which make it perfect for summer holidays,
but it is also an island that is a joy to visit all year round.
HAPPY EASTER
St Spyridon is the Patron Saint of Kerkyra!
I am dedicating you Great Angels non Greek

HEllo Lydia The Christ has revived!

Αληθώς Ανέστη!
The world's largest bell is the Tsar Bell III (Tsar-Kolokol) in Moscow.
It is called Tsar Kolokol "III" because it was cast three times,
and more metal was added each time. The present incarnation was cast in
1733-35, and weighs about 400,000 pounds (180 tons).
Resting at the foot of the Ivan Velekij Bell Tower, the bell is a mute
testimony to the grand days of the Romanov Dynasty— and to the weakness
of all human endeavor. Tsarina Anna I commissioned the bell in 1734, fulfilling
the dream of her grandfather, Tsar Alexei. At 6.14 meters high and 6.6
meters in diameter, it was to be the biggest and clearest sounding bell
in the world.
The casting of this enormous bell was performed by a team of nearly
200 craftsmen under the supervision of Ivan Motorin and his son Mikhail,
who cast many of Russia's other great bells. Georgios PS! I remember this bell from my school books |

WHAT AN AMAZING TOPIC GEORGIOS! Thank you very, very much!
Based on an old calendar Orthodox Serbs will celebrate St. Georgios on May 6th. He is also my family patron and St.Georgios is 2nd greatest celebration at my nation. So, one candle will be dedicated to you this 6th of May, with prayers for all good and blessed to come to you and family.
You know I am not Homo Religius ... but Easter brought a voice of common sense among humans ...
I love Jesus very much.
Thanks for representing Belgrade`s Cathedral!
Love you very much!
