The Blessing of the Bedroom

Future priest, methinks!

A Greek proverb says: "A good day shows from the morning". In other words, observing the child tells you want kind of adult they'll become. I think we are looking at a fine day here.

So beautiful. God bless and protect him. Parents raising their children right! Wonderful. Singing is very good too!

[TheeJoey1978]

I see he's using the Holy Toothbrush!

[matreshka1988]

Beautiful! God grant him many, many years!

[CDElysees]

[arenonearer]

this is so wonderful.

it makes me want to cry. perhaps i am too sentimental, nonetheless...

Glory be to God for all things!

[bigbadbucksnort]

Awesome! That was so good it hurt.

It's in the wisdom of the Church that these things are so fascinating to children.

[Samist19]

Some of my adult choir members do not know these words by heart. God grant Thomas many blessed years!

[magdalainn]

I hope our little one will behave similarly! This is beautiful!

[frjonah]

Wonderful!

Children are perfect imitators of what they see adults do. In this case he imitates the blessing of a house (a room in this case).

[teaniney]

This is absolutely precious. Good job to the parents and the priests for instilling such miracles in their son!

This is why we involve our children at such young ages in the Orthodox Church. What they learn early, is what they'll remember their whole lives.

[ETbeauty]

I agree 100%.

[jesussavior1364]

@disasm what is a orthodox church? Is it like a catholic church

[mishakol129]

@jesussavior1364 It is kind of like a Catholic Church except it has Christ as the head and not a man.

[mishakol129]

@disasm Only as long as the children understand* what it means.

[disasm]

@mishakol129 I disagree. None of us will fully understand in our lifetime the mysteries revealed by Christ through His Church. Whether it be the blessing of all creation, witnessed in the blessing of homes we do annually, or understanding salvation. Experiencing the life of the Church will set the direction of the Child. Yes, they will need to "own" the faith later in life, but it's not required for the child to understand. In the end, we all must have faith like this child to be saved.

[jesussavior1364]

@disasm oh alright it sounds like my kinda church.so instead of praying to a man, you are praying to God. is there angel worship like the catholics

[disasm]

@jesussavior1364 As Orthodox, we recognize the Angels as being messengers of God, and as such, we honor them, just as we honor Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and those that have gone before us that have ran the race to completion (the Saints). However; only one is Holy and worthy of being worshipped and that is God, the Trinity, one in essence, The Eternal Father, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

[jesussavior1364]

@disasm sounds like my kind of church
