Today in the choir we sang the Troparion of the Transfiguration, and I immediately thought of Saint Myron - a bishop who worked miracles, which fits so well with the after-feast. In our kitchen we are currently baking the little honey cookies for the holiday, the children love them. Does anyone have a recipe for the cake that is traditionally made on August 21st?
