I have been hoping to contribute to a positive Orthodox project for a while and I hope to contribute to this site based on my Greek Orthodox background. I will endeavour to keep my articles neutral but if I am posting a specific Greek Saint (born and bred in Greece) ... I am sure to put a bit of 'salsa' to the article ..

My current goal (Feb/March 2008) is to clean up and improve the many articles I have created in the Theotokonymia section and Saints section before I go ahead and create anything more ... its terrible I didnt do it right from the start but I was new and enthusiastic so I have to rectify this ... I have many people to thank for assisting me in the editing of many of the pages that are starting to come together including [[Magda]], [[Pistevo]] and [[Wsk]] - these are the 3 key guys always on my case and ficing up my incredibly awful grammar!! :-)

My two favourite pages (well, they will be by the time I am done with them) because both of these icons mean SO much to me ...well, Archangem Michael is close to my heart - he is VERY active in the church and those who have been blessed to have the 'biggy' for even a small amount of time in there life know how wonderful his miracles are!

My other favourite topic is the Virgin Mary ... there are SO many interesting versions of her through the icons ... that it would be a shame to not list these in an Encyclopedic fashion ...
