  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Help me find out the name of this Icon please!

Hello everyone!
My friend bought this Icon at an Estate sale in San Francisco from an old Russian lady. She doesn't know anything about it other than she liked it because it was pretty. I told her I would try to find out the specific name for this Madonna and child so we can find out the Feast day. It is painted on metal with a wood backing.......Doesn't look like Eastern Orthodox...maybe Eastern Catholic...what do you think?

GOT IT......The icon of Our Lady of Częstochowa

No. Don't think so. Our Lady of Czestochwa is more upright. And it has sword marks on the madonna's cheek. The dress is different too. The OP's looks more Spanish.

Think it's another madonna and child. Don't know which one though.
