Patriarchal Visit to Minnesota
No news about how the Patriarch Ignatios IV responded when he called out "Christ is Risen!" and the crowd responded "Ya Sure, ya betcha He is Risen!"

My Mom-in-Law actually informed us of this...we had no idea that our own Patriarch was going to be in the USA and we certainly had no idea he'd been at the same little Parish where my wife and I have gone when visiting the Twin Cities. I also had no idea that Ignatios IV was actively involved in manuscript preservation in the Middle East.
Of course anytime the secular media does a story on Orthodoxy they laminate over some stuff and use some fictitious wood putty (Hey, I'm doing a remodel...its on my brain), but I'll let that slide...just for today.
It's enough to know that our Patriarch shares a prestigious award with Amy Grant.
Ahem...well I did think it was pretty cool that a 17 year old boy opted to be late for his prom in order to see the Patriarch...that's cool.
