I had to use Orthodoxwiki.org to learn about Prochorus. I was thrilled to learn that he was one of the 70, as I was Chrismated on the Synaxis of the 70.Janelle thegeekywifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02570096064139672174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18568699.post-43734435315175791192009-09-22T22:41:01.299-04:002009-09-22T22:41:01.299-04:00Hi Emily, I wrote so much of an answer that I made...Hi Emily, I wrote so much of an answer that I made a seperate blog post! I hope it helps. Really, take your time! Fr. Stephen once wrote on his blog (Glory to God for all things) that it is good to not get too many icons at once, as we need time to get to know them, etc. <br /><br />Not that I fully follow this, though I really did not have as many when I was just chrismated. I tend to be a maximalist! However, I get icons of Saints, in general, that I know from church, another person, a Saint story, etc. <br /><br />My love in Christ also to you!elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962587884124992942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18568699.post-66074259379270499322009-09-22T20:49:36.408-04:002009-09-22T20:49:36.408-04:00That's very neat!

Our icon corner is still fledgling; we are trying to add our name's saints next.<br /><br />Love in Christ!Emily H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12987266098792021337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18568699.post-26176673991405402842009-09-22T14:40:25.858-04:002009-09-22T14:40:25.858-04:00Yes, thank you!

As these icons were made by the nuns, I know that the icons already are covered in prayer. I am so greatful to God for them!elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962587884124992942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18568699.post-49662299264932390082009-09-22T13:09:40.909-04:002009-09-22T13:09:40.909-04:00The icons are lovely !
