Holy Icons

[Michael G]

Even thought I converted to Orthodoxy 5 years ago, and began the conversion process 7 or 8 years ago, he still ranks at the top of my list of favorite Saints.

Writing this icon did alot for healing my views of St. Paul, which had been tainted by all of my fundamentalist friends in college.

This icon is a cropping of a much larger icon of the entombment, but I felt the expression of love on the face of the Theotokus justified my painting only this section of the icon of the entombment.

 

[Michael G]

St. John gave much effort to defending Holy Icons from the Iconoclasts.

 

[Michael G]

Let us love one another, so that with one mind we may confess Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the Trinity, one in essence and undivided.

This icon depicts a type of the Holy Trinity as they appeared to Abraham and Sarah by the oaks of Mamre. Three Angels visited them, but they spoke as by one voice. One was the Angel of the Lord, in other words, the Lord Jesus Christ. He received worship, which only God can do. The three appeared as a type of the Trinity. There is an altar with a central chalice in the middle of the three. This is to show the fellowship of love that exists from eternity past in the Holy Trinity. This icon is patterned after Andrei Rublev's Old Testament Trinity icon.

This icon was written in memorial of a friend who was martyred in Kenya, Fr. John Kaiser. May God grant him memory eternal.

 

[Michael G]

Genesis 2:19-20: And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

I think our chapel should have Synaxis of Saints of America, St. Sergius of Radonezh, Elders of Optina Monastery and St. Sophia, FAITH, HOPE, and LOVE

 

[Philip]

Holy Myrrhbearer and Equal-To-the-Apostles Mary Magdalene
When God, who is transcendent in essence,
Came with flesh into the world, O Myrrhbearer,
He received you as a true disciple, for you turned all your love toward Him;
Henceforth you would yourself work many healings.
Now that you have passed into heaven, never cease to intercede for the world!​

What would a chapel be without a few of the Great Feasts?

And why has it taken this long for an icon of our patron to be put up?!
