Your Orthodox World: Little-Known Orthodox Vacation Destinations in the U.S.A.
July 30, 2004
The Prosphor Museum. Erie, PA. Contains the world’s largest collection of prosphor seals of all types. An entire room is dedicated to photographs of personal collections of desiccated prosphora. Hourly baking demonstrations during June, July and August.
Judgment Land Mini-Golf. Sludgawuckee, TN. An amusement park for the whole family, run by a splinter group of The Exceedingly Really Truly Orthodox Church in America, Inc. Children and adults play mini-golf from toll-house to toll-house, experiencing simulated demonic judgments. A score of 27 or lower gets you into a simulated heaven. Don‘t miss the mini spiritual roller coaster by the seventh tee.
Holy Water World. Pogo, FL. Giant water park celebrates uses of water in Orthodox worship. See the hourly Dive for the Cross, a training ground for the best Epiphany divers. Exercise in the Bethsaida Lap Pool or simply sport with leviathan in the wave pool. The gift shop has a huge selection of Holy Water bottles, off-brand goggles and icons of the Lifegiving Spring. No bikinis.
One-Thousand-Two-Hundred-Fifty-Eight Flags Over Orthodoxy. Sunbird, AZ. This huge museum celebrates the checkered history of Orthodox nationalism and ethnocentrism. The original concept of an exhibit for each national group was abandoned when the founders were unable to get any two groups to agree on who was or was not part of any other ethnic group. Plan to spend the day.
The Museum of Orthodox Intransigence. Boring, OR. Run by The Institute for Orthodox Intransigence Studies, the Museum includes many hands-on exhibits, including a small church in which Orthodox from various parishes may team up to alternately install and remove pews. There is also a wonderfully colorless headscarf exhibit and an archive of parish meeting minutes. The annual Intransigence Games will be held August 17 - 19 this year, in the Institute’s auditorium. They include a tug-of-war between proponents of “Truly He is risen” and proponents of “Indeed He is risen” and a kiss-off among practitioners of various traditional ways of venerating icons. Seats go fast, so plan to arrive early on competition days.
