description: The Classic Story of a Family's Pilgrimage into the Orthodox Church: Veiled in the smoke of incense, the Eastern Orthodox Church has long been an enigma to the Western world.

Utilizing the framework of the Orthodox calendar, Mathewes-Green chronicles a year in the life of her small Orthodox mission church, eloquently illustrating the joys and blessings an ancient faith can bring to the worshipers of today.
