To our valued readers: We hope you are well and are enjoying the summer!

It seems as though it was years ago when we communicated our revised distribution plan for Noblesville, but it was actually only the end of March. Time flies when you’re battling the fallout from the pandemic, we suppose.

Current in Noblesville remains exposed to the financial repercussions of the pandemic, although we’re proud to state we have retained all full-time staff at the levels of compensation to which they are accustomed.

As a result, we must extend our revised circulation plan for the time being. We will continue deliver to a different 25 percent of the community, as has been the case since April 7. That means, in a four-week month, a different quadrant of the community each week will receive Current by mail, and a supply of the editions will be made available at these locations each week: • Hamilton East Public Library, 1 Library Plaza.

In addition, our practice of making the newspapers available in their entirety online ensues and never will change.

As of this writing, we can’t predict when “normal” will return, but we’re aching for it to happen much sooner than later.

Thank you for your understanding as we continue to strive to get back to business as usual.

Please let us know if you have questions, and please be well and stay well.

Sincerely, Brian Kelly Steve Greenberg President/ Executive Vice Publisher President/GM

A rendering of The Villages at Federal Hill. (Submitted rendering)

Noblesville council approves residences, commercial space news@currentnoblesville.com The Noblesville Common Council approved a plan during its July 28 meeting to add residential living and highDOWNTOWN end commercial space to the downtown area.

Mayor Chris Jensen presented the project’s vision and community development enhancements for the Village at Federal Hill, a $29-million mixed-use development on the west side of the White River near Federal Hill Commons. The council unanimously approved the project, which is slated to begin construction in spring 2021.

The project is a public/private partnership between the City of Noblesville and Carmel-based Old Town Companies.

“Our goal for the Village at Federal Hill and for all our neighborhood developments is to create a ‘sense of place’ for the people living in an Old Town community,” Old Town partner Justin Moffett stated. “It’s an outstanding location with its proximity to

downtown Noblesville, Riverview Health and the park. We are excited to be a part of the City’s plans to create new opportunities for its residents.”

The project was first introduced at the State of the City address in February.

A subcommittee will be established to work with Old Town to ensure final architecture choices are aligned with the city’s vision.

“We are encouraged to have this project move forward at such a quick pace to provide a vibrant, livable, walkable connection between downtown and the west side of the White River,” Jensen stated. “This mixed-use project offers 163 living units and 36,000 square feet of commercial retail space. These new additions are key to driving economic development to our downtown area.”

The project also includes 430 parking spaces with a combination of surface, onstreet and structured garage spaces.

Tools for School needs grow

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Tools for School is always a large undertaking. It was made even bigger this year amidst the coronavirus EDUCATION pandemic.

With it being a drive-thru, the event went from a two-day event to four days, ending July 24.

Matthew Godfrey and Alessia Bernocco served as Tools for School interns for Merciful HELP Center, a nonprofit enterprise of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church. Godfrey and Bernocco are Carmel residents and 2017 Guerin Catholic High School graduates. Godfrey attends DePauw University and Bernocco is at the University of Notre Dame.

Godfrey said the program served approximately 1,200 families, with a total of 2,700 students in Hamilton County.

“We were able to get a couple of government grants this year to directly purchase school supplies and clothing,” Bernocco said. “A lot of the other items came from direct donations from parishioners.”

Godfrey said many children in the county need school supplies. Socks, shoes and un-

derwear also were collected.

“In the past, everything would be set up and the children would be able to go through and choose items,” Bernocco said.

“This year, we sent out a preference sheet with our offerings listed on it. They could check off what items they wanted. They would be coming through and we would prepare it for them.”

Godfrey said every child received some of the more basic supplies, like a book bag, folder, notebook, binders, dividers, pencils, pens, erasers and rulers.

The back-to-school choice Commentary by Brenda McLean The COVID-19 pandemic is presenting some stressful unknowns as families are facing the choice beEDUCATION tween in-person or virtual learning this school year.

Imagine what a daunting decision this is for families whose kids have chronic medical conditions.

As a school counselor who works with children with rare bleeding and blood disorders, I help families prepare for the school year with their child’s condition in mind.

But this year is a first for all of us. The pandemic presents a new set of variables, requiring families to weigh the health risks of COVID-19 — given their overall health — against the educational, social and emotional benefits of in-person learning.

Review your school’s COVID-19 safety plan Maybe virtual learning is your school’s plan for now, but in-person learning could become an option later this year. Whether your child is otherwise healthy or has a chronic medical condition, you first need to review your school’s COVID-19 safety plan.

How comfortable is your family with the

plan? How likely is your child to comply?

Consult your health care provider(s) If considering in-person learning, talk with your child’s health care provider(s).

They have the most complete knowledge of your child’s health/condition and the expertise to help you weigh the health risks given the pandemic. Share your school’s safety plan to help them make the most informed recommendation.

Connect with school staff, peers Whatever your decision, stay connected with school staff through the year. Keep the lines of communication open to help alleviate the stress of changes to your child’s learning environment.

If your child has health needs and they need more educational support or accommodations, visit the Indiana Dept. of Education website at doe.gov for a list of advocacy groups.

Hello. My daughter has pink eye and it’s making her blue.

When can you see her?

How about today?

Brenda McLean is a Noblesville resident and a school counselor with the Indiana Hemophilia and Thrombosis Center. She helps schoolaged patients and their families navigate education settings with their health concerns in mind.

A primary care appointment that fits your family’s day-to-day schedule can change everything. That’s why Dr. Richard Keller, a Riley Physicians pediatrician at IU Health Physicians Primary Care—Cicero, is giving you more options for accessing care.

That includes Same-Day and Saturday appointments for safe in-person care, and Virtual Visits from the comfort of home. It’s highly skilled care for kids that’s highly convenient too.

GAINING STRENGTH New D1 Training facility considers everyone an athlete

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com Although gyms have been subjected to long-term closures during the COVID-19 pandemic, Tayt Odom and Jeff Peterson felt the time was right to open D1 Training Finch Creek at 16289 Boden Rd. in Noblesville.

“We’ve been in the corporate world for a while, and honestly, it really boils down to we wanted to do something that was a positive impact on our community,” said Odom, a Fishers resident. “D1 is an athletic-based training facility that does a lot of different things to help build the physical strength of somebody.”

D1 Sports Training, the parent company of D1 Training Finch Creek, was founded by former NFL player Will Bartholomew in 2001.

The program offers age-based options for ages 7 to adult.

The Noblesville facility opened July 21.

“Our coaches are trained to be able to adjust to any given athlete. That’s the core bread-and-butter of what we do,” Odom said. “We also offer 1-on-1 training. We do sport-specific training if someone wanted training on basketball, volleyball, football, you name the sport.

“We want to develop the person, and we really feel like D1 offers that to people in a community, and it’s why we wanted to get into this.”

Before opening the facility, Odom and Peterson had offered free workouts throughout Noblesville in June and July. Although the D1 Training Finch Creek opening is happing amidst a pandemic, Odom said the gym offers something others might not.

“We feel fortunate a little bit because (the pandemic) happened while we were in development, so we were able to put some things in place,” Odom said. “I don’t know if any other training facilities in the area have done this, but we have a specialized HVAC system, which is a system that attacks and kills viruses in the air.”

D1 Training Finch Creek co-owners Jeff Peterson, left, and Tayt Odom. (Submitted photos)

Staff regularly disinfects and deep sanitizes the gym and works directly with the Hamilton County Health Dept.

“We are making sure our steps are above and beyond what’s required,” Odom said.

“We want to be not just a gym here, we want to create a community environment.

To do that, we have to to be a place people trust and are comfortable with.”

Besides serving regular patrons, Odom said D1 Training Finch Creek will help student-athletes whose seasons and/or routines have been, or are threatened to be, shut down because of the pandemic.

“We feel we could be a great asset to the schools and athletes themselves. We feel like whether it’s a whole team from a school or an individual athlete that says they don’t have access to the typical facility at school, we can help them with that,” Odom said. “We can offer them the same programming to make sure those athletes stay in shape so when they do get back into playing, the injury rates are lower, and we can help improve their performance. We think there’s a lot of benefit here for athletes and the community.”

Odom regards the word “athlete” as an all-encompassing term.

“We consider everybody an athlete. Anybody, regardless of skill level and age, is more than welcome to come in,” he said. “We have space for them, but we are going to view that person as an athlete. They don’t have to be playing on a team to come in.”

DIFFERENT PROGRAMS

Amanda Paddock works out at D1 Training Finch Creek.

Riley Harden lifts weights.

Co-owner Tayt Odom said there are five athletic-based components to each program D1 Training Finch Creek offers: warm-up, performance, strength, core and conditioning and cool down.

Programs include rookie development, prep, boot camp and strength training.

Age ranges for programs are 7 to 11, 12 to 14, 15 to 18 and adults.

“All of those different programs are tailored to various ages and what’s the development appropriate for given groups,” Odom said.

ESSAY

LETTER

Risk management

Masks save lives

Commentary by Terry Anker Among the many changes delivered by the proliferation of media outlets is subspecialty programming. For decades, television ran at a consistent cadence.

It had limited choice and very high control. Viewers could either tune into one of the three major networks, which aligned their schedules to identical time and style, or catch one of the lessthan-a-handful of independents as they delivered reruns of network stock or the occasional lesser sporting event. We all watched the news at the same time, and we all came to expect that family drama would begin and end within the 22 minutes squeezed in between the commercials and opening and closing credits.

Evidence of the change is this month’s annual return of Discovery Channel’s “Shark Week.” It includes hours of new programming aimed at all things about the apex predator of the high seas and their often bloody interactions with humans. The cable network promises to deliver dozens of hours of themed product that, even when discounted for the countless ads, is sure to bring some learning about the impressive animals.

Fans will attest that the producers have found a formula and have stuck with it. They build anticipation by use of short, often ominous, outlines — then cut to commercial. “You may die on this Florida beach, standby for more information.”

Then, they explore a years-old attack and cut to a modern study that might explain the circumstance. “Is it safe to go back into the water?” Again, commercial. From there, they wrap up with something that seems like an answer but always with a caveat: “Scientists disagree on the variables and impact — more study is required.” It is all very exciting but intellectually unsatisfying. Is it safe to get into the water or not? How much death risk is a day of fun and exercise worth?

I just can’t ‘Belize’ it Commentary by Danielle Wilson Friends, my husband, Doo, is having a midlife crisis, and if my memory is correct, this is his second in 10 years.

HUMOR Perhaps the first was simply a warmup, or maybe he’s going to now make it to 100. Regardless, amidst all the other shtick that’s currently hitting the stupid proverbial fan, I’m dealing with a partner who spent the weekend researching live-aboard sailboats in Belize.

That’s right! Apparently, we are quitting our jobs, selling our house and moving to either an ocean or a sea, details TBD. Not immediately, of course. We still have one kid in high school and three who may or may not be staying put, depending on the COVID-19 status of their colleges. There’s also a rather pesky ban on all international travel. But according to Doo, this is happening soon.

So, he’s looking for trial-run opportunities, first to see if he can actually captain a

boat in open water, and second, to ensure we won’t kill each other in such a confined space. Forget our commitment to paying off credit cards or the other small vacays we already have on the books (Murrell’s Inlet, S.C., 2021!), Doo’s focused on weeklong excursions featuring taglines like “off the grid” and “a yachter’s paradise.”

However, as the self-appointed monitor of the purse strings and the official Chez Wilson reality checker, I’ve been less than supportive.

Doo is calling me “Destroyer of Dreams.”

But I’m not in crisis.

I love my work, I like our home and I am perfectly content with our yearly Carolina vacays. I’m also fairly confident that, like last time, this, too, shall pass. Peace out.

That’s right!

Apparently, we are quitting our jobs, selling our house and moving to either an ocean or a sea, details TBD.

Danielle Wilson is a contributing columnist. You may email her at info@youarecurrent.com.

Editor, Like thousands of my fellow physicians who are members of the Indiana State Medical Association, I applaud Gov. Eric Holcomb’s decision to order face masks for use by all Hoosiers in public. This mandate is a necessary step to prevent another surge of COVID-19, a disease that spreads whether the sick ever develop symptoms or not.

Many patients are at risk for serious complications if they become infected with COVID-19. But wearing a mask is a minor inconvenience compared to the dangers of the coronavirus no matter what age you are. Young and old alike who test positive have described their symptoms as the worst illness they have ever experienced.

Wearing a mask is one of the only effective ways to prevent COVID-19 in addition to staying at least 6 feet apart from others and washing hands often.

The emerging evidence proves that cloth face coverings reduce the spray of respiratory droplets when worn over the nose and mouth. And studies have shown no significant decrease in oxygen and/or increase in carbon dioxide levels as a result.

I hope you will mask up yourself and encourage others to do the same.

Wishful memories at WISH-TV Commentary by Dick Wolfsie My friend Bob Haverstick founded an organization in 2001 known as Never Too Late, which granted some HUMOR 2,000 final wishes to senior citizens during a period of a dozen years. I had the honor of showcasing many of these requests being fulfilled on my WISH-TV segments. Here are some of my favorites: Albert and Esther fell for each other 60 years earlier. Now, they were going to fall with each other, skydiving for their 60th anniversary — both tethered to a professional diver. Albert and Esther landed within moments of each other. I ran over with a microphone to get their reactions.

“Make sure you ask both of us,” Esther said. “I can hardly see anything, and Albert can hardly hear anything.”

In her late 70s, things were slowing down for Eloise and she wanted one last chance to do something racy. Her request was to barrel down the track at Indianapolis Raceway Park in a dragster. On live TV, Eloise got in the back of a two-seater car, buckled her harness and off she went at 170 mph. Seconds later, she crossed the finish line. I assumed that was going to be one of the highlights of her life, but she looked disappointed.

“How was it?” I asked.

“Well,” she huffed, “I thought I was going to drive.”

Jimmy Dunham was an Indianapolis 500 mechanic (in his day, mechanics rode with

the driver) but Jimmy had not been to a race since he and driver Kelly Petillo were victorious in 1935. In 2005, Never Too Late flew Jimmy and family in from California to see the race. Prior to the start, Jimmy studied the field and correctly predicted Dan Weldon would cross the finish line first. So, for the second time in 70 years, Jimmy Dunham was a winner, Paul and Georgia were celebrating their 80th wedding anniversary. They were both 100 years old and Paul had been a fan of my segments.

“I’ve been watching you since I was a little boy,” he said when he met me.

They were both lucid, but Georgia had been experiencing some memory loss.

During the interview, Paul disclosed the key to their long marriage: “We have never had a fight in 80 years.” Hearing that, Georgia responded: “And they think I’m the one with Alzheimer’s.”

Anna, who was turning 100, requested to meet me in person. I went to her 100th birthday celebration at a square dance. Then, I went to her 101st birthday, then 102nd, 103rd, 104th and 105th — where she whispered in my ear, “This is too tiring for me. Let’s just do it every three years.”

Albert and Esther fell for each other 60 years earlier. Now, they were going to fall with each other, skydiving for their 60th anniversary — both tethered to a professional diver.

New initiative benefits truckers — The Indiana Dept. of Transportation recently announced the launch of the Trucks Park Here system, a multi-state, regional effort to make interstate travel safer by creating a network of safe, convenient parking areas for truckers with the ability to collect and share real-time parking availability with drivers through dynamic message signs, smartphone applications, and traveler information websites. INDOT will feature 19 sites in the Trucks Park Here system along Interstates 65, 69 and 70. These routes are among some of the most important corridors in the U.S. with truck volumes already exceeding 25,000 trucks per day and expected to grow. than $4.1 million. INDOT also contributed nearly $609,000 in state matching funds.

Discounts that actually cost you money — Retailers have latched onto a way to offer giant percentages off that are mesmerizing to shoppers but are not what they seem. The pitch: You get a gigantic discount, typically up to 70 percent off, but the fine print notes that you get that discount only on a second or third of multiple similar items. Signs in store windows and on store shelves (and online) shout out the percentage and shoppers often don’t do the math to see just how unimpressive these offers typically are. For example, based on an offer of “buy two, get the third 50 percent off,” you take three items to checkout, where you then receive a total discount of 17 percent ­because you pay full price for the first two items.

DISPATCHES New lung cancer therapy — Lung cancer is the No. 1 cancer killer in the country, but a new treatment, called immunotherapy, is giving hope to lung cancer patients because of its recent success. Lung cancer is poorly recognized by the immune system, which delays diagnosis until patients are at stage 3 or 4, when it’s too late. Immunotherapy activates the immune system to help the body recognize the cancer earlier. For more information, visit lung.org.

New blood cancer treatment — A type of blood-cancer treatment that has shown remarkable success in clinical trials is beginning to receive FDA approvals. In CAR T-cell therapy, blood is drawn from a patient to isolate T-cells, the powerhouses of the body’s immune system. The T-cells are reprogrammed to kill tumor cells and then infused back into the patient. This appears to be most effective with certain types of blood cancers.

Source: BottomLineInc.com Better way to take meds — Some medicines are better absorbed by the body if taken sublingually. This means the medicine is placed under your tongue and held there until it is absorbed. It can go directly into the bloodstream without being digested first. If you have trouble taking pills, or have digestive difficulties, ask your doctor about sublingual alternatives.

Source: The Alternative Advisor Eye pain relief — When something small and abrasive gets in your eye — such as a piece of sand or dirt whipped up by the wind — the last thing you want to do is rub it against your fragile cornea. Try this instead — grab a facial tissue. With one hand, pull your lashes so that the upper lid is away from your eye. With the other hand holding the tissue, gently blow your nose three times. The pressure should make that foreign object fly away.

Source: BottomLineInc.com Avoid that cold — As soon as you feel that first hint of a cold — stuffy nose or scratchy throat — begin a regimen of Vitamin C and zinc. Take 500-1500mg of Vitamin C daily.

Any more than 1500mg can cause diarrhea.

Take 10-25mg of zinc per day. Be aware, though, that zinc lozenges and tablets can cause upset stomach or a metallic taste.

This regimen is not a cure, but it can stop the virus from spreading and getting worse.

Blueprint for Improvement: Open-concept kitchen in Fishers Commentary by Larry Greene

After

Before

THE CHALLENGE This 2011 home is in The Woods at Thorpe Creek neighborhood in Fishers. Previously, the kitchen had been walled off from the living area, with only a small pass-through to connect the two. The homeowners wanted to make the kitchen feel more connected to the rest of the home.

THE SOLUTION 1. The wall separating the kitchen and living room was removed and a new, larger island with sink and plenty of seating was added.

2. Storage is abundant in the new space, with a wall of custom cabinetry and drawers. Some of the cabinets feature seeded glass panels.

3. The homeowners chose to mix two countertop styles — quartz for the island and stovetop area and wood block for the wall of storage.

4. The tone-on-tone backsplash is laid in a double herringbone pattern for a subtle yet sophisticated statement.

Noblesville artist has illustrious advice for comic book illustrators

By Rick Morwick rick@youarecurrent.com If you have a story to tell and can tell it — and show it — with flair and edgy artwork, you might have what it ART takes to be a successful comic book illustrator.

Stuart Sayger will be the judge. Or at least, he’ll be one of the judges.

A professional illustrator who lives in Noblesville, Sayger will be one of three judges for Nickel Plate Arts’ seventh annual Comic Book in a Day Challenge, where participants are tasked with creating a comic book — from scratch — in eight hours.

Presented in partnership with Hamilton East Public Library, the Aug. 29 event will be conducted virtually this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. via Zoom.

Sayger, a self-taught artist who broke into the comic book industry by self-publishing his own comic, “Shiver in the Dark,” looks at a variety of qualities as a comic judge.

“A good comic can be many things, just like a good movie or song,” said Sayger, who has participated in Comic Book in a Day every year since its creation. “Any art that strikes a nerve is good. You don’t have to draw well to make a good comic book, but it helps. Comics can be made by only one person, which means that they can be an art form that is singular in vision. If you have something to say and you are committed to your idea, you will be half of the way to making a good comic book.

“Let’s not forgot, movies don’t need to have explosions. Comics don’t need to have superheroes.”

Noblesville resident Stuart Sayger is a professional illustrator and accomplished comic book artist who will serve as a judge for the 2020 Nickel Plate Arts Comic Book in a Day Challenge. (File photo)

“I grew up a comic fan, and at age 13, I started working in a local comic shop,” Sayger said. “You could say that my career in comics goes back to those days. I’ve always enjoyed drawing, and I like storytelling. People who are drawn to illustration as their visual outlet often do so because they are also interested in telling a narrative, not just making attractive pictures.”

Sayger will join fellow Nickel Plate Arts 2020 featured artists Victor Dandbridge (Columbus, Ohio) and Yuri Duncan (Indianapolis) in judging the Comic Book in a Day Challenge, which will award prizes ranging from art supplies to comics to cash.

Sayger offers the following advice to anyone who wants to pursue comic book illustration.

“Can you tell a story? Do you have something to say? And do you strike a nerve saying it? If you can do that, you’ll be a fine comic book illustrator,” Sayger said.

“There are a lot of musicians who are wellloved that are often out of tune. The great ones are always the ones that make us ‘feel.’ Do that, and you, too, are great.”

Due to increased restrictions on entertainment venues in Indianapolis because of COVID-19, Beef & Boards Dinner MUSIC Theatre will take an unprecedented second intermission this season, starting Aug. 10.

Since reopening in July after postponing shows due to the pandemic, Beef & Boards has worked diligently to make entertainment in its venue as safe as possible with its comprehensive responsible reopening plan that included plated meals, reduced audience sizes, spaced seating of parties, germicidal lighting in all air handlers and mask requirements for all. However, with Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett’s restricted audience size reduced to 25 percent, it is simply not sustainable to continue productions at this time. The theater’s plan is to reopen in the fall.

“It breaks my heart to take this ‘time out’,” stated Doug Stark, owner of Beef & Boards. “However, for the safety of the Beef & Boards Family and their guests, it’s the grownup thing to do. Please stay happy and healthy, and we sincerely hope we can play again in the fall.”

The Garden Table The Breakfast Sammie comes with a side of roasted potatoes, greens and skhug sauce. (Submitted photo)

Commentary by Anna Skinner Address: 342 Massachusetts Ave., Indianapolis What to get: Breakfast Sammie Price: $12 Anna’s take: The Garden Table is a beautiful, eclectic restaurant in the heart of Indianapolis on Mass Ave. It has an amazing brunch menu, and since brunch is all the rage lately, I suggest you check it out. The Breakfast Sammie comes with your choice

of bacon (lamb, black pepper or yam for the vegetarians out there) and is topped with scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese.

It’s served with a side of roasted potatoes, greens and skhug sauce, a type of hot sauce often used in Yemeni cuisine.

Suggested pairings: The Garden Table has several mimosa options, but I tried the Bird Shirt cocktail ($12), which is a refreshing blend of Plantation Original Dark Rum, St. George spiced pear liqueur, house-made peach simple syrup and Bittercube Bolivar Bitters.

Parks Dept. to hold concerts

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com In a normal summer, Fishers Parks Dept. would present multiple concerts per week.

Although nothing about 2020 MUSIC is normal, Fishers Parks Director Sarah Sandquist said the department wanted to have something for the public, so it created the Fishers Pop-Up Concert Series.

“We approached this series with caution for changing times and to ensure we could ensure concertgoers would be able to distance and enjoy the concert safely. We intentionally started with a small series in order to gain proof of concept before adding additional events to our schedule,” Sandquist said.

Toy Factory performed July 24 with two shows at Nickel Plate District Amphitheater, also called the NDP AMP. Huckleberry Funk, a rhythm and blues band based in Bloomington, is scheduled to perform at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. Aug. 21.

“The first event was great,” Sandquist said. “Concertgoers stayed in the squares we painted on the ground and everyone

Sandquist estimates typical attendance for past concerts at approximately 5,000.

Sandquist said the concert was near capacity for the 6:30 p.m. show and the plan was to clear the lawn before the 8:30 show.

“Our lines were much shorter at the gates for the 8:30 p.m. show so we did not clear the (area),” Sandquist said. “With the mix of 6:30 and 8:30 attendees, we were near capacity.”

Honoring Mary Magdalene Commentary by Don Knebel One of the most beautiful buildings in Jerusalem honors a woman falsely labeled a prostitute almost 1,500 years TRAVEL ago.

According to the Christian New Testament, Mary Magdalene (Mary of Magdala) supported Jesus’ ministry financially and witnessed his crucifixion and burial. Some biblical accounts say the risen Jesus appeared first to her. In A.D. 591., Pope Gregory I preached a sermon claiming, without any legitimate basis, that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. That claim gained acceptance within the Roman Catholic Church but was rejected by the Orthodox Church, which recognizes St. Mary Magdalene as “equal-to-the-Apostles.”

Mary Magdalene was the patron saint of Russian Empress Maria Alexandrovna, the mother of Czar Alexander III. In 1881, a year after his mother died, Alexander visited a Russian Orthodox mission in Jerusalem and was persuaded to build a church honoring his mother on the western slope of the Mount of Olives overlooking the Garden of Gethsemane. The church, featuring seven gold onion domes, each topped by an Orthodox cross, and a sandstone exterior finished to resemble marble, was built in 1888 and dedicated to Mary Magdalene. The interior includes a large painting illustrating a legend that Mary Magdalene appeared in Rome before Emperor Tiberius, protesting the killing of Jesus by Pontius Pilate. Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna, the granddaughter of Queen Victoria who converted to Orthodoxy when she married Alexander III’s brother, Sergie, commissioned the church’s artwork. When Sergei was assassinated in 1905, Elizabeth became a nun and founded a Moscow convent. In 1918, Elizabeth and Sister Barbara, a fellow nun, were

among those tossed into a mineshaft and killed by the Bolsheviks. The bodies of these now sainted women lie in marble sarcophagi in the church. The church is also home to about 30 nuns of the Convent of St. Mary Magdalene, established in 1936.
