At the conclusion of our wonderful visit to hear the Ukrainian Orthdox mass presented by the young seminarians at the Refectory Chamber in the very ancient Church of St. John the Theologian, Olga gave to me, as a gift, a beautiful icon depicting "Даниил" (the Old Tesament Prophet Daniel). She then said that I am becoming "Daniel the Chronicler;" that through my descriptions of Kyiv, I will open many eyes, not only of Americans but also of Ukrainians; and that my insights are important to record. This special gift will become one of my most treasured remembrances of Ukraine!
