The search into the origin of his faith opened the door for Tommy to fall in love with Orthodoxy, using the songs and the sounds of HolyName to try to keep his faith alive when he felt like it was dying.
The Holy Orthodox church and the historical origin of Christianity became very important to Tommy personally. He found beauty in a hidden treasure that he didn’t fully understand, and now Orthodox imagery is extremely influential to HolyName’s work.
