This post documents my experience on September 22, 2019.
At St. George’s in Fishers, Indiana…
…their annual festival was taking place.
Out in front…
…the large yard was used for a children’s area with jump houses…
…and prize games…
…that included Test Your Strength and Skee Ball…
…while, inside the church…
…festival goers could shop the church’s market area…
…offering religious items…
…books…
…and hip scarves…
…and they could tour the church with a guide…
…or look around on their own.
But all festival goers eventually came here…
…where the heart of the festival occurred…
…as there was a market area of outside vendors…
…offering beautiful handcrafted jewelry (Jewelry By Terrie)…
…Holy Land gifts…
…and gaming opportunities for the kids (Player One Esports)…
…a stage with music entertainment and dancing…
…and various booths serving all sorts of delicious foods…
….beers, wines…
…and tempting sweets…
…where I examined sweet baklava and sampled the buttery ghoribeh…
…before purchasing a cheese-filled kanafeh…
…and taking it to my hotel room, where I warmed it up, poured syrup over it…
…and fell in love.
