Yes, I went there for a month in 8th grade, due to when my family moved there. Yes, I remember Mr. DeGenova. You are referring to the teacher Mr. DeGenova, right? Ray DeGenova, who was the brother of teacher Mr. DeGenova, was my neighbor.

Mr. DeGenova is the principal now. It really is a small world- I have been to Ray's house numerous times... If you don't mind me asking, what is your last name? If you don't want to post it, just pm it to me.
I'm just wondering if any of the iconographers here have ever written an icon of Saint Moses the Black?
I came across this
Read more about him, and am rather..... impressed.
I have written him. I really do not like that icon of him. This depiction of St. Moses the Ethiopian makes him look really angry.

Hmmmm, I suppose I can see what you mean there. The face is a little angry. Mostly it was the posture that caught my eye and the scroll that caught my eye. I think this is my favorite, actually.

The face in the first one you posted was very angry and the posture was very agressive. Hardly the posture of someone contemplating the still silence of Heaven.

Hmmm I see what you mean. I wasn't saying I was particularly enamored of that icon, it was just the one that caught my eye and prompted me to look the saint up.

I understand. I wrote St. Moses the Ethiopian years ago. I will have to see if I can find a picture of the one which I wrote.
