My mom called yesterday to let me know she got me this icon for Christmas. She always wants us to have "something to open" on Christmas morning, but this is being shipped directly to me without any wrapping paper and that doesn't sit right with her on some deep, visceral level. :) I'm not sure my brother and I really get it, but I know I've always enjoyed her love for that kind of thing.
Thanks mom!

I wish you had a tape of that homily, but I'm now looking forward to getting this icon even more.
Do you have any other icons?
I have a small card of Christ Pantocrator that I got at a Serbian Orthodox church in Sarajevo, which is taped on my monitor. Actually, I have several of those - I intended them as gifts but forgot to hand them out. I'd like to get some more, especially now that we got into our house.
