Is that an Orthodox church? It's very beautiful.

Yes. Saint George Serbian Orthodox in Duluth, MN.

Built in 1923.

The first 10 minutes of this film shows much of what the Blessing of the Water looks like during Theophany. (in places where it snows)

The pews stuck out to me too.  I don't suspect you all segregate sexes in the US, do you?

No. I think the Copts might but obviously that a different communion.

Not by force, except in monasteries.

If we didn't have so many young families with infants and toddlers in our parish, it would naturally divide into groups of women, and groups of men. That used to be the case when I first started attending. Things have changed in the look of our parishioners.

Our fellowship meal definitely divides into women's groups and men's groups. It's just nature.
