Icons


The icon on the right portrays Constantine and his mother, St. Helena. In general, I love that icons of saints usually show a kind of weary wisdom and weight of experience that I much prefer to the ecstasies of St. Teresa, for example. But St. Helena appears resigned to a greater than usual number of griefs.
