  4. Wow, love the East! I chanted morning prayer with a Byzantine priest once - very powerful prayer. Where can I learn more about this icon, Father?

    Thanks!

  6. I've always been intrigued by Vasnetsov's work. He seemed to mast the human eye in a way that his paintings at times seem to be peering into you.

  7. It is a fresco from St. Volodymyr's Cathedral, Kiev. I have not been able to find more detail than just "Russian monks and bishops", which is pretty obvious.
