The remains of the colosseum where Felicity and Perpetual were martyred. It is difficult to imagine the scope of the place since the structure is mostly destroyed. The seating would have towered high above the ground. There is now a chapel in the center below ground.

A very sobering afternoon here visiting ‘KGB Museum’ (unofficial name) here in Vilnius. Lithuanians experienced occupations by vicious totalitarian regimes who disappeared thousands, executed and slaughtered whole communities. My admiration of Lithuanians is through the roof. Courageous people.

The view looking north and northwest from Saint Hilarion Castle begun in 10th century Cyprus. The Turkish coast is visible on a clear day.

Christ Church Amsterdam, a community I have served since 2019. The church has met in this building since 1771. We also have two other service locations in the city.
