I Think I'm turning orthodox

I think I’m turning Orthodox--
The signs are everywhere--
From icons in the corner
To reciting ancient prayers.
 
I even prayed to Mary
(My Baptist friends would gasp!)
When I sought some intercession
For a headache during fast.
 
My husband’s beard has grown in thick,
Scents from candles fill our home,
I find myself intrigued by 
Ancient Holy tomes.
 
Acapella singing
Seems to soothe my very soul,
I started dipping homemade bread
Into wine poured in a bowl.
 
My calendar of feast days
Is proudly on display,
And I’ve pinpointed restaurants
That have “vegan specials” days.
 
I think I’m turning Orthodox--
That’s a good thing, isn’t it?
My worship finally matches
That of ancient Holy writ.
