Another Christmas Delight!!!!

By Gemma Cleanslate

Merry Christmas!!
After the wonderful time I had looking at the lovely sims ready for the winter and Christmas season I decided to continue the travels around SL sims to see more. A friend sent me the LM for St George Orthodox Christian Church which was included in the hotspots on the sl Showcase page.
What a magnificent sight! The whole sim was clothed in white snow. The church structure stood out with it’s blue dome above the glistening hillside.
I entered and was greeted by the builder, who with a team fashioned the church and the sim. As he explained, most of the build was done in sl with authentic icons from all around the world collected into the church in the manner they would be placed accurately in a rl church. It will take a while to examine the whole place and you must use mouse look to look up above your head to see the dome in all its glory.
I quote from the note card: “ Another aspect of this church is that it has been a group project. Various members of the "parish" community have contributed at different times, each giving something according to their ability; things, ideas, Linden$ and labor. The process has been very "real' in the sense that we have all learned to "live" and work with each other.....and in the end value each other; it is a community composed of Serbians, British, Americans, Germans, Russians, Australians, Greeks and Dutch .”
It is truly inspiring.
There is a place north of the church where you will find the St. George Library. It contains books, pages, and other artifacts to examine. Outside there is a skating place with three penguins guarding the area. Animals roam around the sim. I met several wolves and deer, living in harmony. As you move around the sim you will find icons of saints with note cards of information. You wil find places to sit and have a cup of tea and perhaps meditate in the solitude.
Be sure you visit the magnificent sim during the season of Christmas while it is decorated for your enjoyment.
If you do not make it there during the season put it on the list for a future visit.
It is well worth it! Larsson 161,30, 112 will bring you to the entry.
