This is great stuff. I may end up incorporating some of this into my historical fiction. Whether I do or not, I still love reading about early Christian practices.

Love this. Appreciate the historical aspects which are important to embrace whether actually spitting or at the very least firmly renouncing darkness. But I like the imagery of spitting. It helps. And the turning east, whether physically or in our hearts - ever turning to the east, to his coming.
