Relax and bask in the peace evoked by strong images of angels as the Light of God light shines through these rich colours.

I love them all… I just found out why angels seem to wear “headbands”: to cover their ears so they can listen to God’s voice only! Isn’t this awesome. I wish my headbands could work that way.

I have been writing icons for the last eight years. That’s how I found out why they have “headbands” (I forgot to put one on my angel and my teacher explained to me the meaning behind it…so, I gave him a “headband”).

Well… I do not mean the little squares on your computer. I mean paintings of saints and Biblical scenes. The process is called writing when it involves icons because it assumes the benevolent presence and help of the saint depicted. I wrote a blog about it, if interested.
