DEAR SOPHIA,

REMEMBER AUGUST 15TH IS A MAJOR HOLIDAY. IT IS ALSO YAYA’S NAMEDAY. IF POSSIBLE, GO TO THE CHURCH THAT DAY AND LIGHT CANDLES. THE CHURCH IN THE PICTURE YOU HAVE BEEN TO ONCE. I WILL MAKE CERTAIN TO BRING YOU AGAIN SO THAT YOU HAVE MORE RECENT MEMORIES OF THAT CHURCH. IT IS THE CHURCH ON THE ISLAND OF TINOS. THAT WAS YAYA’S FAVORITE PLACE TO GO ON AUGUST 15TH. I WILL EXPLAIN TO YOU IN PERSON HOW IT IS CONNECTED TO BYZANTIUM. THAT’S ALL FOR NOW!

286

LOVE,

DAD
