Incidentally, as other Orthodox will recognized, the inscription on the back of the icons of the Martyr Yevgeny is the standard troparion or dismissal hymn used (with appropriate substitution of names and pronouns) for all martyrs in the Orthodox Church who have not had special troparia written for them.

Thanks for the info on the icons. I've found that Zehki make the most interesting icons, though they often forget the prayers.

The one above was made by a friend while he was serving in the Soviet army, not in jail. He said he used an old ammo box, scraps of wire, and leather and rubber shavings.

Where there's a will...
