Because the companion of my life (my wife) is obsessive in Orthodox faith, something that goes beyond the limit !!she is avoiding human relations in the days of the feast, and she is prefering the religious ceremonies. Then I choose lateley to participate with her in groups of non-ecclesiastical tours that necessarily puts us in a human companion with diversity that whatever I find... I enjoy it
Holy Kyriaki
This year we were in Sofia in a hotel in the center of the city .. Opposite of it to a breath away, the metropolis of the Orthodox Christians the church of Holy Kyriaki.
In the orthodox church I love the tradition of the lighting of the waxes, which, as I see them lit up in mass, I also add my own flame thinking to the souls of my beloved people who left the world, just as the law of nature orders and The common creator legislated with no exceptions !!
The mosque in Sofia
About 200 meters northeast is the mosque of the city, and as the tour guide told us there are several legal religions in Bulgaria but are not connected to the state and are independent organizations with self-fund ...
They are more advanced than we in Greece are!!
At holy Kyriaki,were two cash desks where were selling candles at specific prices, besides a cash box for extra offerings. At the Mosque I also went in the holly Friday,getting out my shoes, there had only a cash box and fewer faithful. The orthodox people in Bulgaria are in majority.
The Synagogue in Sofia
A hundred meters west of the Mosque is the synagogue of the Jews in a large building that was made in the 16th century by the Jews of Spain when they were banished from Spain and were accepted by the Ottomans around the Balkans .. I told my wife to go for a walk to greet our next monotheistic tradition. I thought we could see some rituals the following Saturday. We saw it closed with an announcement that a date of May would be open, and some Spanish tourists who looked worried around the door ... My mind went at the first visit to Turkey's Great City in 1997 after the creation of the following image in my brain that continues to lead me! And at that time I considered fanatically that it was sent by God!!
There in Turkey I thought that I would find access to synagogues at least as much as in Christian churches I did not find it, I had found cameras and worry.. sould it ? I have seen that instead of some social messages that were brought by the great prophets that could be accepted by all of us, and I am going to mention two of every doctrine of monotheistic faith that I consider them as the most important.
MOSES 1) THOU SHALT NOT KILL 2) YOU SHOULT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS
JESUS 1) LOVE YOUR ENEMIES 2) IF YOU ARE ELECTED ,,BE A SERVANT
MOCHAMET 1) FIND OUT THE KNOWLEDGE EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO GO TO CHINA
2) MAKE A PROMISE I SHALL ALWAYS SPEAK THE TRUTH.
Most of us, we are concerned that the egg became red by a miracle!!, and if God is three-components or one, or if the pig must not be eaten. Things for that if you do not confess that you agree, you risk becoming socially isolated ... I begin to feel it !!! SHOULD IT.??
Maybe is the time for the great religious leaders after a meeting to close the dogmatism and the miracles in the cupboard as past of history, to recognize Mohammed as a Prophet
and to compete if nesasery in the words that the great prophets of our monotheistic faith brought to earth and only of them?
And to support the science that thanks god is runing lately with great speeds, to find the evidence that we are considered as miracles, because the Divine rules are the inviolable laws of nature, that God has created, and is waiting from us to find them all ... without Making exceptions and miracles.
Since science is the safest way to find our Creator
