More Cool Orthodox Pics
In April of 2004 Metroolitian HERMAN visited Georgia (the country not the US state). For some reason I fell in love with these pictures.
No disrespect, but forget the hierarchs and check out that fresco!
A 1000 year old Cathedral in Georgia.
The Skull of Saint Thomas the Apostle.
Due to historic isolation, the Georgian church developed her own iconographic and musical style. The icons have a wide-eyed look similar to Coptic icons and often feature a bright turquoise color.
As per the Georgian music, I was going to link an audio file, but I’m still looking.
The fresco is rather wondrous.
Thank you for sharing the photos.
Georgia is on my “someday” list – I’d love to see and hear the incredible music and icons myself.
You are right, that fresco is incredible.
Although, the Relic of St. Thomas is pretty awe inspiring as well.
