Awesome!!! Thank you both for posting the beautiful icons.

K - I thought of you today and almost freepmailed you. On eBay, there are several individuals selling holy cards of Orthodox saints. (Of course, at our age, the holy cards we received as children, probably qualify as 'antique' :-)

And, redhead, there are eBay vendors also selling Byzantine holy cards! Check them out.

This Feast Day has become one of my favorites. We can draw so much inspiration from the saints and share it with those who are downtrodden, especially those who have devoted their lives to the religious life. How many of these 'saints' were persecuted for their strong faith, even by other (perhaps jealous) religious. This is truly a day to reach out to those who feed and nourish us in the faith, and return the favor.
