I wish I knew more about the family in China, it would make a great generational "historical/biographical" novel. She only saw them once when she was six so there's only a couple photographs of them together and she had very little recollection about it. Sigh. Thanks!
Gung hei fatt choy from one happa Cantonese/Scotch-Irish American Orthodox to another! If I had any energy for it I would have made special curry puffs to share at our post-liturgy coffee hour buffets here in NC in these two weekends bookending Chinese New Year, but I can't do it all. I am, however, a sucker for any auspiciously-timed liturgical calendar days overlapping with this holiday, or even the Moon Festival at the end of summer frequently coinciding with the liturgical new year. Always something to celebrate. May your "second wind" of a New Year bring you peace and good fortune and herald in a blessed countdown to Lent!
"Happa"! Yep, I grew up with "happa-haole" when we lived in Hawaii! I need to design a T-shirt or some bling with that! :) Blessed Year of the Dragon to you!
I found out im catholic and became a catholic only to discover that catholicisms been destroyed. Then i realized im german and came to germany only to discover the same about german culture.
This is one of my favorites. I hope you will write that book about your mother’s life.

I love the Chinese Martyrs. I have an icon of their Synaxis as well as one of Saint Ia, the teacher.
