Blessing of Tziahanas Twins at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, May 1970

Blessing of Tziahanas Twins at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, May 1970 image
Published In
Ann Arbor News, May 30, 1970
Caption
Double Blessing: The Byzantine art of St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church forms the setting for a double blessing of the infant twin sons of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Tziahanas of 2160 Georgetown. The twins, George Theodore and Peter Chris, held by the Rev. Fr. John S. Kamelakis received the Forty Day Blessing in ceremonies last week. The ceremony, in keeping with the Old Testament, was adhered to by Mary when she brought the infant Jesus to the Temple to be presented to the Lord. In keeping with that ancient custom, all Greek Orthodox mothers present themselves and their baby to the church. Father Kamelakis said this is the first blessing of twins performed in recent years in the Ann Arbor church. Also witnessing the ceremony are Mary Jane, 2 1/2 and Becky Ann, 4 1/2, the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Tziahanas. Reminiscing, Father Kamelakis said in Detroit he officiated at the blessing of triplets.

Horse Drawn Snowplow

Published In
Ann Arbor News, January 28, 1973
Caption
This is how they did it 34 years ago. The bog snow tires, powered sidewalk plows and whirling brushes were still something in the future. Following two days of heavy snow in Ann Arbor in December 1938, the city hired a dozen private contractors with horses and plows to help the community dig out. The walk on N. Division St. was being cleared when this picture was taken. An advantage was the lack of noise--unless the reinsman happened to be the outspoken type.

The scene is repeated on Wednesdays from May through June.

Even though Mary Kay Lininger has kittens of her own at home, she made a noble attempt at trying to convince her mother that just one more wouldn't be too many. Mary Kay is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roger A. Lininger of Mt. Vernon Avenue.
