Stella (Melina Kanakaredes) is Greek Orthodox. She is knowledgeable about liturgical Christianity, and when Stella performs the sign of the cross in the church, she motions from right to left, in line with the practices of the Orthodox Church and the Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church. In contrast, the sign is made from left to right in the Latin Rites, which encompass the Americas and Western Europe, including her native Greece.
