Hi John:
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you tell the story of why the position of the Theotokos and her son, in the icon, is different from what we are used to? That would be nice!
There is a link at the bottom about the icon. Since it is not the feast, I didn't want to get too deeply into it today, but I ran across this icon and wanted to share.
