“One of my favorite parts of this European tour, was that I was able to visit different Orthodox parishes throughout every country!” said Von D in a social media post earlier this month.
She explained that she officially joined the parish during “this last Pascha” or Easter.
“Many of you have lovingly asked to hear more about why I converted from Protestant to Orthodoxy,” Von D said in the caption of a video montage of churches and cathedrals she visited with her son.
“It brings me joy to share some of the beauty of Orthodoxy within these sacred (and historic) places with you,” she wrote.
The singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur noted that she was “encouraged” to refrain from “going out and doing any public interviews, etc, about it until after at least a year.” Von D added that she believes it is great advice, but wants to remain transparent with her audience.

“Regardless, I never want to ‘hide’ where I am, spiritually speaking, but am OK in waiting until I am better equipped to represent the Church that I love so much,” she explained. “In the meantime, I hope you enjoy peeking into this window – it’s the biggest part of my life that most of the time I keep to myself and loved ones.”
