Hit the jackpot in vegas

| |

Not the megabucks jackpot, but the jackpot of cool stuff at my parents house. An enormous collection of books from the late 19th century. My great-grandpa's (pop pop's) pass port , and an amazing collection of letters.

One such letter is described as follows: "Letter signed by the Patriarch of Constantinople to Christo Milonidi (pop-pop, later to become Chris Millson)-Christ has Risen! And giving permission by the Church to go to Mt. Athos for prayers and to study the Orthodox moastic life"
