Amazing World: The Mysterious Shade Balls
Interesting ecological solution. Technology at the service of Man.
Deposit of the Faith: The Tranfiguration of Our Lord
This is a great feast day in the Catholic and Orthodox Church.
Icon of the Feast
In the icon of the Feast of the Transfiguration, Christ is the
central figure (1.), appearing in a dominant position within a circular
mandorla. He is clearly at the visual and theological center of the
icon. His right hand is raised in blessing, and his left hand contains a
scroll. The mandorla with its brilliant colors of white, gold, and blue
represent the divine glory and light. The halo around the head of
Christ is inscribed with the Greek words O on, meaning "The One Who is".
