The Vladimirskaya icon

P.S.

Long ago during a retreat in an old cistercian abbey, a Russian monk tought me the essence on how to look at a Holy icon.

You are entering Holy ground
the mystery will reveal to a humble heart
Ready to receive

It is a visual Gospel
With rules and frames
painted after fasting and prayer

Not for fame
But for Glory
