It Already Happened HERE


St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, WTC NYC

September 11, 2001 in sunny, idyllic down-town Manhattan... Islamic Fundamentalists wage hateful Jihad ("Holy War") on American "infidels". Al-Qaeda levels St. Nicholas' Greek Orthodox Church below the Twin Towers at Ground Zero as the NYC World Trade Center begins to collapse upon it. (A gay man, the Catholic Franciscan priest Fr. Mychyl Judge, O.F.M., Chaplain of the NYC Fire Dept. was killed in action at the World Trade Center and was immediately listed as "Victim Number One")

This is a truly moving photographic record of the horrendous destruction that happened on that tragic day.

The towers, & especially the church, were places that held great memories for me, but also represented safety, security & were a source of comfort.

I will never forget the feeling that a negative force tried to demolish God that day, taking him away from people of all faiths, particularly those in immediate danger.

Though the photos illustrate that, I feel my faith (which has flailed on occasion), may provide a strength the church gave me when I was there & it will stand again. ~*)
