This morning, while you likely slept, we are off to Phillipi to spend the day. We are renting a car for the 99 mile drive.
Watch out, there may be many photos of old broken things tonight.
A note from yesterday...we went to the Museum of Byzantine Culture. So much.
At one point I was weary from the walking and all the information. I left the exhibit with Mark still going strong. I found a bench and sat.
In the quiet, I picked up from where i had been reading Paul's letter to the Thessalonians; we do not want you to be uninformed brothers and sisters, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have died. (4:13-14).
The exhibit I happen to be looking upon at the moment was Byzantine burial customs. The room was filled with tombs, maps of burial plots (pre-Byzantine buried outside city walls, Byzantine begone burying in churches) jewelry and objects found in tombs, markers and decorations.
There in my hands the words, there in my view the habits.
Off to more.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
