Echoing the 2nd Reading today, a little something from TSEliot via Heraclitus: 'The way up is the way down.' This is also the beginning of the long Lent for some monastics. Big blessings, TJ!
Every reference I've found to "writing" icons goes to Russia. I haven't found nor been directed to any with another source. When I tell people that's because Russia didn't have a separate word for painting because they had no art but iconography until Peter the Great, it's news to them.

ReplyDeleteSame to you Fr.! I will observe this one too.
DeleteI see the letter 't' in the icon. T is for Trust. Jesus, I trust in You. Amen.
