A few weeks ago I was honored to receive as a gift a beautiful icon from the Ukrainian artists Oleksandr Klymenko and Sofia Atlantova, who "write" Orthodox icons on the discarded lids of ammunition boxes from the war in Ukraine. Slava Ukraini.

Bring back Gesimatide…
Liturgy nerd alert, if you observe the "Gesimas" (3rd, 2nd, Last Sundays before Lent), they begin this Sunday. 🕯️
VI Epiphany 2025 = Septuagesima
VII Epiphany = Sexagesima
Last Epiphany = Quinquagesima
(in 2026: Gesima Sundays = IV, V, Last Epiphany)
