Thank you so much for the beautiful icons! I received them today and love them. They are exquisite. Thank you, too, for arranging a payment plan for me, and for putting a wire on the back of each so I can hang them. I can't wait to do so.

The Relic of St Vincent Ferrer arrived safely a little while ago and I am delighted with everything. Thank you and God bless you.

I just open the the boxes of relics now. Wow they are really something- If St Peter wont let me go to purgatory, he will get a good fight from me this time. Thank you very much!

The Old Believer icon of Our Lady of the Unburnt Thornbush is exquisite. It arrived this morning and is now hanging in my icon corner, alongside the other beautiful antique icons that I have acquired from the Russian Store.

Russian icon - Saint George Slaying the Dragon in brass revetment cover

The Great Martyr Saint George is depicted as a mounted soldier striking with a lance a dragon beneath his horse. On the right is the town of Silene with a princess Elisaba, whose fate is in George’s hands, standing at the gate. The oldest icons depicting Saint George as a horseman killing the dragon date to the 12th century. The motif becomes popular especially in Georgian and Russian tradition, but it is also found in Greek icons.
