The icon of Our Lady of Unexpected Joy arrived a couple hours ago, and I am delighted with it; beautiful workmanship and beautiful story that I very much find compelling. Thank you...it has a good home here with a candle burning in front of it. Be safe and be well.

Икона - Иоанн Предтеча Ангел Пустыни

Russian Icon - St. John the Forerunner, Angel of the Desert

The icon depicts Saint John the Forerunner in the iconography of "Angel of the desert". Saint John the Forerunner depicted half-figured with wavy hair and wings holding in his right hand a chalice with his own lifeless head. In his left hand is a scroll with the beginning of verse from Matthew 3:2 "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." St. John is depicted as an "earthly Angel" and a "heavenly man" according to the hymnography of the Church for his feast. His wings symbolize his Angelic pure manner of life. Saint John preserved by the Lord in the dessert.
