Icon Light

I got this icon over Christmas and New Years holidays when
I was at the monastery.
My lampada, at my old apartment,
was lit in front of a paper copy
of this icon.
When I got the icon of Rublev's Trinity,
the lampada became the light for the icon of the Holy Trinity.
Finally, this past weekend, I had time to put up my small shelf
and now have a light by St. John of Kronstadt again.
When ever I enter this room, I am deeply encouraged to see
the bright light by St. John.
Glory to God!
