Fr. Thomas with the incense thurible.

Today is day three of Fr. Thomas' marathon, now in his hometown of Zababdeh. We went to worship and film once more. Afterwards, we had lunch at his home, a feast of maqlube, one of our favorites. After three days with Fr. Thomas, Marthame is exhausted. How he does it, at age 62, is beyond us.
