An Indian Orthodox App??? No way!
Finally, a fellow parishioner had the courage to create an Indian Orthodox Lectionary Facebook app of scripture readings for the current week, of the Great and Holy Lent.
Hopefully, this will lead to the future of Orthodox app development!

Where's our Orthodox App?
"Are you a sinner? Don't worry, there's an app for that. The Roman Catholic Church has approved a recent iTunes addition called Confession, a $1.99 app that bills itself as 'the perfect aid for every penitent.'"
iTunes salvation: Roman Catholic Church approves Confession app
Someone pointed out by saying "Where's our Orthodox App?" Good question. Hopefully Orthodukso or some other resource will pave the way for an app someday!

Orthodox Service Closing Hymn
This is actually an amazing video posted on YouTube regarding one of the many beautiful hymns the Malankara Orthodox and Malankara Syrian Orthodox churches sing towards the end of the Holy Eucharist, followed by the dismissal benediction from the clergy, which is all after the Hoothomo (closing prayer). Absolutely a blessing!
Since the video is sung only in the Indian native language, Malayalam; Here is the translation for the following hymn:

Jesus, Father's son,
keep us always well
Jesus, Mary's son,
Help us always too
Jesus, strengthen us-
Jesus guard us all
Jesus, remove the
wicked from us all
Jesus, absolve our
sins and our evil deeds
Jesus, have mercy
on the judgement day

The Last Supper Supersized!
The article, Study: Last Supper paintings supersize the food, explains that there have been other foods besides bread and wine being involved in the painting of The Lord's Last Supper.
However, it also says that "The study is 'not very meaningful science,' said Martin Binks, a behavioral health psychologist and a consultant at Duke University Medical Center. 'We have real life examples of the increase in portion size — all you have to do is look at what's being sold at fast-food restaurants.'
A more contemporary test would be to analyze portion sizes in Super Bowl commercials, he suggested.
'That would be a much more meaningful snapshot of how this society's relationship to food has changed,' Binks said."
