Before Mass
As an Orthodox Christian, I am unable to receive sacraments outside the Orthodox Church. Still, it is nice to use my prayer rope in the quiet evening hours, surrounded by others at prayer. http://flic.kr/p/pFZn2e

Outside my front door
This belltower apparently dates to the 12th century. Although I do see bells at the top (though not from this angle), I also see speakers, and the complicated peals I’ve heard makes me suspect it’s all pre-recorded these days. http://flic.kr/p/pAMepX
Blessings of the feast!
