Our Lady of Smolensk is seen in front of the Novodivichy Monastery where she hangs. Legend has it that this icon was painted by St. Luke, the physician, himself. Although unlikely, I do know that doctors can also be artists (or at least they try).

Another set of icy blue eyes... almost haunting.. I wish I could remember all the symbolism in these artwork. Lovely style you do have, Mr. Holcombe...
