I received the very beautiful Entombment icon on Good Friday. Our priest carried it in the procession with The Holy Shroud. It was a great blessing and especially to receive it on Good Friday and take to the church in perfect timing. Thank You again and again ?? for the holy icons!!

Russian Icon - The Presentation of Christ at the Temple

The iconography of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple celebrates Christ's encounter with humanity. Mary is depicted offering child Messiah to elderly Simeon, who is overjoyed to receive him. Mary's mother Anna and her husband Joseph are standing beside her. The background depicts the interior of the Temple, while the veil behind Simeon represents not only the veil of the Temple but also the hems of the Lord's cloak, which fill the Temple according to the vision of the prophet Isaiah (6:1).
