It was a cold morning in January in 2004. Father James Bohlman and his subdeacon, Vassily Kocher came to our small chapel in Helena, Georgia. Dennis Rusnak, a member of the St. Mary Magdalene parish in Rincon, came with them. | ||||||||

Father James prays while Subdeacon Vassily holds a processional candle. | ||||||||
We all listened and observed intently as he prayed. More than the usual number were in attendance on that cold winter morning. | |||||||||
Father James dips the cross in the water three times. | |||||||||
When he finished his prayers and dipped a cross in the water three times, we had what we came for -- holy water! | |||||||||
Holy Water. | |||||||||
We celebrated the Divine Liturgy, got Communion, and got our holy water. | |||||||||
