Corinth

We celebrated this Mother's Day by remembering in our morning prayer the origins of the holiday as proclaimed by Julia Ward Howe in 1870.  See this link: Mother's Day proclamation
Then we visited ancient Corinth (after a stop at the Corinthian Canal) and held a communion service just a stone's throw from where Paul was brought before the city council (according to Acts 18).  Our tour guide, Kosta, is a professor of archaeology at Boston University and is a native of Greece.  He is outstanding and has quite the faith story to go along with his knowledge of history, religion and archaeology which will be evident when I get the videos done.
After Corinth, we returned to Athens for a tour of the Acropolis and the new Acropolis Museum.  All most impressive.
I should have our video from Hierapolis up on Facebook in an hour or so and then another later tonight.  So be sure to check back.
