Archimandrite Luke (Golovkov)
The depth of Orthodoxy and culture influence a person through an icon on conscious and unconscious levels, even if he doesn’t understand everything.
Icons and paintings have crucial differences. Only the artist who is involved in the life of the Church and has developed a prayerful relationship with God can paint icons.

This is an amazing story about the courage and resilience of the Christians of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, from whom the “believers” of the Kiev Patriarchate (now the OCU) took away two churches one after the other. In a situation where people seemed to have nothing more to hope for, the believers did not back down.
