Not Orcs, unfortunately

There's one just down the road from Rico, but it turns out there's one in Providence, Rhode Island as well:



That would be, if you could read Armenian, Saints Sahag & Mesrob Armenian Church. Named for the Holy Translators, Catholicos Sahag Partev and Mesrob Mashdotz,  you can learn more about St. Sahag and St. Mesrob here.

Rico says it was funnier when he thought of them as Orcs, but reality can be nearly as funny:
During this period, he felt the great need of the Armenian people for an alphabet of their own... According to tradition, while meditating in a cave near the village of Palu, Mesrob had a vision, in which "the hand of God wrote the alphabet in letters of fire."
