The Day After … Christmas

The Day After … Christmas December 29, 2004

Tsunami: A Japanese term which has been universally adopted to describe a large seismically generated sea wave which is capable of considerable destruction in certain coastal areas, especially where underwater earthquakes occur.

Current news reports put the death toll at around 60,000 … with more to come.

A special Tsunami Blog has been established to aid in news & relief efforts.

Pictures of the destruction and videos of the Tsunami itself are available HERE. Thanks to Classical Anglican.

I’d originally planned to blog on the Holy Innocents today. But, given the overwhelming Tsunami tragedy, this icon speaks to the remembrance of the dead — both those innocents slain by Herod nearly 2,000 years ago, and those, especially the children, who died in the waters of South East Asia this week. Thanks to James.

The International Orthodox Christian Charities organization is collecting money towards relief. Visit them HERE.
