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.
