Probably the worst one... [I Am An Orthodox Christian]

But I was baptized and annointed as a baby into the Russian Orthodox Church. I think at some level it keeps a little hold over me, though not something I think on day to day.

You cannot go into a cathedral,


Such as here the Cathedral of the Savior on the Spilled Blood, in St Petersburg, especially at time of the divine liturgy, without a little bit of something stirring in your soul...

I go to church when at my grandmother's, for her sake, which I think is often enough for me.

Same. But Greek orthodox. How can you not feel something when you walk in.

@SW-User It is a funny thing, familiar enough to me to be a comforting reminder, where I don't feel a stranger or anything, I know 'what to do', but also it is an otherworld-ly, powerful experience, a little bit fresh and new still, and like a drop of the past in the big sea of the modern secular world.

@Ambroseguy80 Beauty in all sorts of sensuous and wonderful things.

@ChampagneTraveller oh yes. God makes some - man makes others. ;)

I enjoyed your post - and I’m sure your grandma will die a happy lady because of your efforts.
I go to the Latvia. Not quit as good but still lovely and i feel at peace

Uhhh, nice.
But that's the point of churches. They either "move" you because of their grandure and stature or melancholic and kinda sober/dark mood. It's to project the power and old of religion over the people, and to maitain that kind of power
May the Peace of the Lord be shared
