Спасибо вам огромное за помощь в приобретении иконы. Я думала сложно будет купить, а нет) есть Вы. В России сложно такое найти. Вы молодцы. Храни вас бог и удачи.

Fr. Gregory

The relic came in. I wanted to cry. My heart was so overwhelmed with joy. On my 25th anniversary the Discalsed Monastery celebrated mass with me in their cloister. The Mother Prioress with the sisters came be a hard bound copy of his writings and his life. I feel it was the hand of Blessed Francisco was moving them. And with this holy relic he is moving me. I will do a more intensive study of him. I will place his relic in the large reliquary I have with John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, and Therese of Liseaux. He will be at home.

Икона - Глава Св. Иоанна Предтечи

Russian icon - The Severed Head of St. John the Baptist

The icon represents the Severed Head of Saint John the Baptist, known in Russia as "Saint John the Forerunner", the forerunner of Christ, the last of the prophets, and the first Christian saint. A popular and much-venerated figure in Orthodox iconography, Saint John was beheaded under the order of King Herod, who wished to please Salome, daughter of the king's lover Herodias, whom the Baptist had reproached for her adultery. The saint's severed head is depicted on the platter, shrunken in the sleep of death. God the Father shown in the upper left corner is blessing it from Heaven.
