40 Days, 40 Churches

Day 14: Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Church, Lowell MA

This church will be familiar to some of you, given that a few readers have attended a wedding and/or a christening there involving the same couple. It's been interesting seeing the church grow as an outsider, as it's grown quite a bit (and added more mosaic work) since my first visit. It's also an interesting experience as a Catholic to go to an Orthodox service given how much is similar between the two. Of course, there's a fair bit more Greek used at the Trans than we use week to week.

Most of my visits to the Trans have centered around their Greek festival, where you can get all the usual Greek foods and some new ones, such as loukoumades, which I now crave having gone and looked up a link.
