Quote from: Fr. Thomas Hopko, dystopian parable of the prodigal son
...you can imagine so-called healing services of the pigpen. The books that could be written, you know: Life in the Pigpen. How to Cope in the Pigpen. Being Happy in the Pigpen. Surviving in the Pigpen. And then there could be counselling, for people who feel unhappy in the pigpen, to try to get them to come to terms with the pigpen, and to accept the pigpen.

I'd like to say "Welcome home!" but I'm not exactly sure whether it would be appropriate for an EO to say something like that. Anyway, best of luck and many years!

The sideways thing? I honestly don't know why that posted like that. Photobucket uploaded it sideways, then I posted here sideways. Of course the picture itself is a little twisted.  :)

They mean "saved" and "anointed".

Those greetings are part of the ceremony of Chrismation of our Church and were said to you after you were anointed with muron in 13 places of your body.

They say "I/we love you".
It's called ILY sign.

Quote
ILY sign combines the letters 'I', 'L', and 'Y' from American Sign Language by extending the thumb, index finger, and little finger while the middle and ring finger touch the palm. It is an informal expression of love.
