The images evoke not only familiar icons recalling images from the life of the Most Holy Theotokos and Nativity but also include other traditional Christmas and winter-themed pages, puzzles, and games. The cover is nice and heavy and the pages suitably thick enough for markers and watercolors. The bookbinding is quite tight, making it a little challenging for little ones to open and hold the book flat. We solved this problem by taking the coloring book to an office store and having them rebind it as a spiral— lays perfectly flat now!\" -Svetlana\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e"}

I cried a lot while reading -- the beauty of the Liturgy, the beauty of the representation of Orthodoxy, sadness, joy, recognition. One of my favorite parts was Euphrosyne during Liturgy, when she noticed that the church was fuller than could logically be accounted for. I love discovering fiction that portrays Orthodoxy positively and accurately.
