Remembering Iraqi Christians on St. Stephen’s Day
On this Saint Stephen’s Day, named for the first Christian martyr, let us remember the Christians who have been driven out of Iraq. Here are some recent stories, some with great photos.

They Fled ISIS, but They Can’t Flee Winter
They Are Willing to Die for What Most Christians Are Barely Willing to Live For
It’s Christmas Eve… Jesus is Coming to Us!
Jesus is coming… freedom is coming!
Lunar Eclipse, Fall 2014
As noted by the excellent Father Z, in the East Coast of the US we had a lunar eclipse that did turn the moon reddish. Here are two photos (from two different cameras). The larger image of the moon is cropped and had noise reduced, otherwise unedited. The one showing the landscape I brightened slightly with curves in Photoshop. In each case, the color is straight out of camera.
Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars! Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens! Let them praise the name of the Lord, for he commanded and they were created. (Ps. 148)
