This is the Church of St. John the Evangelist (Eglise St. Jean) where the monks and nuns of the Monastic Fraternity of Jerusalem have been invited by the Archbishop of Strasbourg to celebrate their liturgy.
And here is a photo of the members of the Fraternity with whom I stayed: Br. Fabian-Marie, Br. Emmanuel from Togo in Africa, Fr. Bradford from America, Fr. Ivan-Pierre, Fr. Jean-Renuel from the Philippines and also the prior, and Fr. Jean Tristan.
Who said monks can't be fun?
Of course they have to be serious at times...
But they are allowed to smile and have coffee too...
What do you think? Yes, you....I'll post more when I have the time of the interior of the church and around the city of Strasbourg.

Why are they holding an icon?
If I'm not mistaken, that's a Russian Masterwork icon of the Vladimirskaya.
BTW, are you voting?
I have no idea what icon it is but they seem to love icons as you will see from my post later about the interior of the church...
I will not be voting as I am not yet 21.
So sad... =)
