An Unexpected Friend...


(for James) Here is the icon of St. John the Russian on the wall of the entry-way downstairs in the church of St. Nicholas "v Klennikakh." As I wrote below, when I saw his icon, I stopped feeling so homesick. I thought: it could not be without meaning that I am seeing him here...

They tell me he is revered here, along with St. Silouan of Mt. Athos.

I would have put this picture up earlier, but when I went to get the photo from my camera, I couldn't find it for a while. Sorry for the delay!
