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 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.

I received my shipment of relics today, and wanted to thank you. They are BEAUTIFUL. And the certificates are beautiful too. Thank you for carefully packaging everything with such care (relics in a wooden treasure box and certificates in clear plastic). These relics are indeed a treasure and will be honored tonight when I pray vespers. I will be definitely be looking to buy more relics from the Russian Store in the future.

Menological Minea Calendar Icon for the Month of October

A minea (calendar) icon for the month of October painted in the style of the famous icon-painting village of Mstera, the first half of the 19th century.

Known as synaxaria (monthly), twelve monthly panels of the Calendar icons are exhibited in the church one at a time on a special lectern called the analogion and depict images of saints arranged chronologically according to their feast days in alteration with the movable liturgical feasts as they distributed in the Orthodox calendar for one specific month. Although most saints are represented standing, martyrs are usually depicted at the moment of their martyrdom. The images are arranged in four rows, each row signifying a calendar week of a month with portraits of saints venerated during this week. The layout and color scheme of this “calendar of sainthood” play a role in their legibility and practical use.
