The Darvari Hermitage, founded in 1834 by the abbot Mihail Darvari and his wife Elena, is located in the center of Bucharest, on Darvari Hermitage Street no. 3, sector 2.
The church was originally a wooden church without a steeple and guarded by thick walls, dedicated to the "Resurrection of Saint Lazarus".
Later, 12 nuns were called to take care of the church and to sing at services.
In 1864, the hermitage was closed, but it reopened when Romanian monks from the Prodromu Hermitage on Mount Athos received permission from the founders' family to take shelter in the hermitage in 1869.
In 1933-1934, the Darvari Hermitage was restored by the founder's grandson, and the church was frescoed by Iosif Keber, in the neo-Byzantine style.
In 1959 the hermitage was closed by the communist authorities and the 13 monks living there and their abbot were moved to the Cernica Monastery.
The hermitage was reopened only in 1996, by Patriarch Teoctist Arăpașu, and since February 2020 it has become a Patriarchal Chapel.
The hermitage has been declared a "historical monument"
Saint Matrona of Moscow
Matrona Dimitrievna Nikonova is a canonized saint of the Russian Orthodox Church who is said to have had the gifts of prophecy, spiritual vision, and healing from early childhood.
Matrona Dimitrievna Nikonova was born in 1881 in the village of Sebino, Tula province, into a God-fearing peasant family.
This village is located twenty kilometers from Kulikovo field.
During her childhood, Matrona, blind from birth, received from God the gift of spiritual vision, and penetration into mysteries of God's Providence.
The grace which rested upon her was manifested in the gifts of prayer, spiritual reasoning, knowledge, and clairvoyance.
Early on, people started coming to her for advice.
At first, it was just local residents, and then visitors from other regions.
In her seventeenth year, Matrona's legs suddenly became paralyzed, and she permanently lost the ability to walk.
She never complained because of her ailments, but humbly bore the cross God had given to her.
Matrona left for Moscow in 1925, which became the place of her ascetical service, and of her righteous repose.
Persecuted by the atheists, Matrona was constantly forced to change her place of residence, finding refuge in the homes of believers.
An endless stream of people visited Matrona, thirsting for spiritual healing, instruction, and her prayerful help.
By her prayers, the infirm were healed of paralysis, or suffering from mental and physical ailments.
Her prophecies and predictions helped many people to avoid danger and death, and to find the right path in difficult circumstances.
Numerous testimonies of these miraculous events have been preserved.
After her righteous repose, which occurred in 1952, many people came to Matrona's grave in the Danilov cemetery, veneration of the deceased increased, and miracles and healings took place.
In 1999, by the decision of the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, Eldress Matrona of Moscow was numbered among the righteous Saints for local Church veneration in Moscow, and in the Moscow diocese.
Her revered relics rest in the Stavropegial Protection Convent in Moscow.
Saint Matrona is commemorated on May 2.
On February 15, 2018, the Holy Synod of the Romanian Patriarchate resolved that the Blessed Matrona of Moscow also be included in the Calendar of the Romanian Orthodox Church for veneration.

This one is dedicated to my lovely friend, Kelly here on Flickr. She is pregnant! Wheee! How freakin' exciting is that! I'm so happy for you girl! Seriously. Like a lot! It's funny because I was talking about pregnancy with the hubby yesterday. On how we hope to get pregnant in the next few years again. Of course, it won't be that easy for us. It'd be another IVF procedure but your news give me hope! God bless you and your little bean! =)

(•) – The Lockheed Martin HC-130J Hercules The Combat King II is the U.S. Air Force's only dedicated fixed-wing personnel recovery platform and is flown by the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) and Air Combat Command (ACC). This C-130J variation specializes in tactical profiles and avoiding detection and recovery operations in austere environments. The HC-130J replaces HC-130P/Ns as the only dedicated fixed-wing Personnel Recovery platform in the Air Force inventory. It is an extended-range version of the C-130J Hercules transport. Its mission is to rapidly deploy to execute combatant commander directed recovery operations to austere airfields and denied territory for expeditionary, all weather personnel recovery operations to include airdrop, airland, helicopter air-to-air refueling, and forward area ground refueling missions. When tasked, the aircraft also conducts humanitarian assistance operations, disaster response, security cooperation/aviation advisory, emergency aeromedical evacuation, and noncombatant evacuation operations.
Features
Modifications to the HC-130J have improved navigation, threat detection and countermeasures systems. The aircraft fleet has a fully-integrated inertial navigation and global positioning systems, and night vision goggle, or NVG, compatible interior and exterior lighting. It also has forward-looking infrared, radar and missile warning receivers, chaff and flare dispensers, satellite and data-burst communications, and the ability to receive fuel inflight via a Universal Aerial Refueling Receptacle Slipway Installation (UARRSI).
The HC-130J can fly in the day; however, crews normally fly night at low to medium altitude levels in contested or sensitive environments, both over land or overwater. Crews use NVGs for tactical flight profiles to avoid detection to accomplish covert infiltration/exfiltration and transload operations. To enhance the probability of mission success and survivability near populated areas, crews employ tactics that include incorporating no external lighting or communications, and avoiding radar and weapons detection.
Drop zone objectives are done via personnel drops and equipment drops. Rescue bundles include illumination flares, marker smokes and rescue kits. Helicopter air-to-air refueling can be conducted at night, with blacked out communication with up to two simultaneous helicopters. Additionally, forward area refueling point operations can be executed to support a variety of joint and coalition partners.
Background
The HC-130J is a result of the HC/MC-130 recapitalization program and replaces Air Combat Command's aging HC-130P/N fleet as the dedicated fixed-wing personnel recovery platform in the Air Force inventory. The 71st and 79th Rescue Squadrons in Air Combat Command, the 550th Special Operations Squadron in Air Education and Training Command, the 920th Rescue Group in Air Force Reserve Command and the 106th Rescue Wing, 129th RQW and 176th Wing in the Air National Guard will operate the aircraft.
First flight was 29 July 2010, and the aircraft will serve the many roles and missions of the HC-130P/Ns. It is a modified KC-130J aircraft designed to conduct personnel recovery missions, provide a command and control platform, in-flight-refuel helicopters and carry supplemental fuel for extending range or air refueling.
In April 2006, the personnel recovery mission was transferred back to Air Combat Command at Langley AFB, Va. From 2003 to 2006, the mission was under the Air Force Special Operations Command at Hurlburt Field, Fla. Previously, HC-130s were assigned to ACC from 1992 to 2003. They were first assigned to the Air Rescue Service as part of Military Airlift Command.

Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted, all the times
That I though would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance

Joined an instagram meet on 02.07.15 at the Liberty State Park in New Jersey sponsored by Mashable. The park has great views of lower Manhattan, the back part of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
The park is home to the Empty Sky Memorial, dedicated to the New Jersey victims of the 9/11 attacks. The landmarked but abandoned Central Railroad of New Jersey Terminal is also in the park.
There was a winter storm a few days before the meet, the park looked lovely in the snow, and sunset over Ellis Island was a great way to end the day.

Hi Shannon! ^ _ ^
The Hastings Jack-in-the-Green festival was revived by local group Mad Jacks Morris Dancers in 1983 and is now one of the biggest annual gatherings of Morris Dancers in the country. The Jack is “released” every year and is central to the festival. The main procession of the Jack takes place on the May Bank Holiday Monday through the streets of Hastings Old Town, starting from the Fisherman's Museum. The Jack is accompanied by Mad Jacks Morris, the Green Bogies, dancers, giants, musicians and various others. The procession ends on the West Hill where Jack is "slain" to "release the spirit of summer"
A Jack in the Green (also Jack in the green, Jack-in-the-green, Jack i' the Green, Jack o' the Green, etc.) is a participant in traditional English May Day parades and other May celebrations, who wears a large, foliage-covered, garland-like framework, usually pyramidal or conical in shape, which covers his body from head to foot. The name is also applied to the garland itself.
May 1st has long been an important part of the annual Calendar. It is the start of summer in these latitudes and as such has always been a day for celebration: the Celts celebrated May Day as Beltane; The Romans dedicated the day to the Goddess Flora and would go to the woods to cut a tree and decorate it with ribbons and flowers, this is the origin of the May Pole. In the 16th and 17th centuries in England people would make garlands of flowers and leaves for the May Day celebration, they became increasingly elaborate. Works Guilds would try to outdo each other, in the late 18th century this became a matter for competition, milkmaids in London carried garlands on their heads with silver objects on them, but the crown had to go to the chimney sweeps. Their garland was so big it covered the entire man. It became known as Jack in the Green.
In Hastings there were at least two groups who paraded a Jack in the Green until about 1889. By the turn of the century the custom was seen no more. The reasons were twofold: the Act which stopped boys climbing chimneys had been passed and these had been the main performers; secondly the Victorians had a different attitude to such customs, the prettification of customs took place, no more the giant maypoles with drunken and promiscuous behaviour, replaced by small poles imported from Germany with happy skipping children around them. The Lord and Lady of the May with their practical joking were replaced by a pretty May Queen. Certainly there was no place for the drunken noisy Jack in the Green.
The custom was revived in Hastings by Mad Jacks Morris Dancers in 1983. We do not say we are following exactly what happened, this is a custom for now, not a fossil. Jack is returned, he is not the property of a small group of dancers, but belongs to us all. Long may he dance!
Further information about the Jack in the Green in Hastings can be obtained by reading the excellent booklet "The Hastings Jack in the Green" written by Keith Leech. Keith, a long time member of Mad Jacks Morris was instrumental in reviving the tradition in Hastings and is a usually seen dressed as a "bogie" or green man, one of Jacks' attendants, during the procession on the May Bank Holiday.
