Iconic Christmas


AJ gave us each Orthodox Christian icons for Christmas. I confess they are very attractive, even to this Baptist girl who never heard anything about Mary except at Christmas time. I've heard historians say icons are a good indication of what Jesus really looked like. Luke got St. George, Hannah got the Resurrection, Eric got Jesus Christ, and Annie and I got the Virgin Mary. I thought it was a very thoughtful gift, and very practical since he doesn't own a car and couldn't get to stores before he flew out here from St. Vladimir's. I guess we could all use a little help from above...
