Removed section on church

[edit]

I removed the whole "Today" section as its sole purpose seemed to be to mention the "Cathedral of St. Markella" in New York. In an article about a Christian saint, it's certainly noteworthy if a saint has a great number of churches named after him or her, since this speaks to the saint's significance; it is not--at least not necessarily--noteworthy that a single particular church is named after the saint. Additionally, the church mentioned belonged to a group (Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece) which is considered by most of the Orthodox to be non-canonical; using it as an example of the devotion paid to St Markella by Orthodox Christians as a whole without addressing the organization's standing is potentially misleading.

Thank you. Today is her feast day and I was led to this article. Thanks to those who work to maintain it. F. L. (talk) 13:00, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
