Very interesting, Dan. You have mentioned some of that before. I see a 
lot of parallels between Putin & Hitler.

Unfortunately, the two countries with the largest Orthodox populations are
now at war with each other, and Russia has refused Ukraine's offer of an
Easter Truce.  This is a terrible situation indeed.

My heritage is Eastern European, but not Russian or Ukrainian.  I was not
raised in the Orthocox faith, but attended many church services and
cultural celebrations with my father's family when I was younger, including
midnight masses on Orthodox Christmas and Orthodox Easter.  They are still
a part of my identity.

Tragically, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and all Rus' has declared Putin's
war on Ukraine a holy war, despite the religious affinity and the fact that
there are 1200 Russian Orthodox parishes in Ukraine in addition to the many
Ukrainian Orthodox churches and cathedrals.  Mariupol', which has been
leveled by Russian artillery, was inhabited mostly by ethnic Russians, the
people Putin claims his invasion is to protect.

For the occasion, I resurrected the below old image of my grandparents'
church,
the Holy Ghost Orthodox Church in Manville, NJ.  It is typical of the type
of church one might find in any smaller Russian or Ukrainian community.

Ironically, Zelenskyy's first name, Volodymyr, is the Ukrainian version of
Vladimir, Putin's first name. Since in both languages "mir/myr" can either
mean "peace" or "the world," the name can translate as either peaceful
lord, or lord of the world.  I suspect Putin focuses on the latter.

Lovely old edifice, Dan.  Years ago I shot a Russian Orthodox wedding 
and was impressed with the amount of symbolism in the ceremony - more 
than I  encountered in the Catholic or Protestant weddings I have done.  
And yet, I was surprised with how liberal that particular priest was.  I 
always checked with the officiant several days before a wedding to ask 
about their particular photographer's rules, as many had limitations 
about where you could go during the ceremony.  For this wedding the 
priest said I could shoot from anywhere as long as I didn't climb up on 
the altar behind him.  
