Logismoi
Information
| Blog Name: | Logismoi |
| Url: | http://www.logismoitouaaron.blogspot.com/ |
| Language: | English |
| Topics: | Orthodoxy, monasticism, literature |
| Description: | I frequently post on obscure Saints of the day (on the old Orthodox calendar), or an obscure aspects of well-known Saints, on intertextual connections in books that I've read or am currently reading, and on aspects of monastic history and spirituality. I try to include a lot of poetry and a lot of art. I try to encourage 'tradition' in all its aspects--ecclesiastical/spiritual, cultural, philosophical, moral, literary, and aesthetic. 'Logismoi' is unapologetically Orthodox, but hopefully irenic and not overly polemical. I also try to inject a bit of humour! |

The Proper Observance of the Nativity Fast, or 'the Power of Wise Custom'
I am a sentimental fool of a sucker for Christmas, much like Esteban for The West Wing. The least little thing—a song, a bit of greenery, etc.—can set me of
