It’s controversial architecture, but I love it

I hope to see the others (not Armenians though!) use leavened bread too someday

Dr Janusz Korczak was not catholic, or even christian, but he is pictured among examples of christian mercy like St Theresa of Calcutta. He’s pictured with the children of the Warsaw Ghetto, whom he refused to abandon and was killed along with them in a death camp. One of the children is wearing a crown - it’s a character from Korczak’s novel, King Matty I.

Admittedly, it’s somewhat bland - the thin fabric could be explained by the WYD happening in summer though, but it lacks patterns imo. Still, it’s better than nothing! Jubilee events and World Youth Day celebrations should include eastern vestments too.

I took the pictures during the canonization of the Martyrs of Katyń. Who would expect Hagia Sophia in Poland?

Yes, I know, it’s mostly a latin tradition. But as far as I can tell, the Neo-Uniates have been practicing it since the beginning, and it’s been easternized and adapted. There are six altars instead of four, and instead of a host, there is a square piece of a prosphora in the monstrance. You can see it on the diskos too!

Probably the most consistently great chaldean rite church I’ve seen. Them using latin hosts isn’t exactly my favorite thing, but I can survive that.
