Wanna see something written by St. Luke?

Bryan and Jeff:
I think I might have posted on this already but here is something you might like to see. As you probably already know St. Luke in addition to being an apostle, evangelist, and physician, was also a painter.

Here is one of his few remaining icons. Of course, it has been decorated with silver and gold and gems, but underneath all of that decoration are St. Lukes brush strokes. This particular Icon was kept in America until recently. When it was returned to Russia (The bishop on the left is Metropolitan Herman of Washington D.C. The bishop on the right is Patriarch Alexi of Moscow.), where it had been kept since the fall of Constantinople) 50,000 people a day (for 5 days) visited Christ the Savior Cathedral to venerate it.

Needless to say, it is a very important icon. It is like having the manuscript of St. Luke's Gospel.
