Hi Michael, Jenny and I were discussing in a PM a certain icon of St Seraphim of Sarov that you know about. Our question is: How is it that icons of St Seraphim and also the New Holy Matyrs look more "Natural" than other icons? Some look more like paintings. Is there a new icon style emerging...

Getting dressed today I noticed that the hole for my belt buckle has gone back an inch, and I'll have to punch thru a new hole. I haven't checked on the scale yet, but my watch strap has gone slack too. If that's what Great Lent can do for you, it can only be good :D Anyone else had good...

So now we can't quote the Creed?:scratch: Kolya

We have two African Greys, a male and a female, and they are both hand tame to us. The female is about 4 years old now, and she talks the best. My wife raised the male from a chick, and he's now 2. He's learning from his older 'sibling'. We have to keep them separate, as they bite each other...

I don't know if any of you have ever suffered from low blood pressure. But I've had this problem most of my life. If I've been squatting down, and suddenly get up, I go dizzy. Now with prostrations, last nignt I nearly blacked out 3 times. It's scarry. I just prayed to my Patron for strength...

It seems quite a few of our fellow CF'ers have been popping in this week to ask questions about Orthodoxy. What about a Sticky with links to suitable material so that they can be directed there? They can then come back with appropriate questions they need for clarification of points they have...

I see you up there Suz! How is your ship faring in this fierce Storm of your Life? You don't have to be the pilot now, just give it over to the Master Pilot, and He'll steer you through it. You've been in my thoughts and prayers a lot the last day or two, and I'm sure ALL of Heaven is...

I got to thinking today, I can't remeber when last I watched TV. I did put on "Forrest Gump" last Friday night.(BTW,Tom Hanks is a Baptised Greek Orthodox and attends St Sopia Cathedral on a regular basis.) But aside from a DVD or Video now and then, since I became Orthodox, I just lost...

Please don't misunderstand me. I am NOT questioning the church, but I have found a passage of Scripture difficult to understand, and I need someone to give me a theological answer. I was reading 1 Corinthians this week and came across these verses which I must admit I've never noticed before...

I hope you all have a great weekend. Those of you on the new calender, well, enjoy yourselves.:sigh: The rest of you, DON'T OVER EAT. (Just kidding) The perception Holywood has given us "foreigners" about Americans is that there is always a family fight at Thanksgiving. I'm sure you'll all...

Hi All, I'm new here as you can see. I live in Johannesburg down in South Africa and I was Chrismationed in our local Russian Orthodox Church on Palm Sunday this year - date 04/04/04! I'm so happy to have found this forum as I don't have many Orthodox to hang out with. I have to travel 25 to 30...

Greetings Brothers and Sisters, I'm happy to have found this forum and I'm sure I'll obtain may blessings from reading and posting here. I live down south in Africa and don't have many others of my church to associate with. God bless all of you.
