The Madonna icon was written by Luiz Coelho. Isn't it lovely? Luiz is mon cher petit-fils adopté. Luiz is originally from Brazil, but currently lives in the Atlanta area, here in the US.
The icon is approximately 6 in. by 8 in. in size. It is to be mine. Luiz says it is, or soon will be, on the way. How lovely it will be to read the icon, knowing of Luiz' prayers which accompanied its creation. Icons are windows into heaven. Look through the icon and see God.
Oh, how beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnd it is somehow just right for you, Mimi.
Thank you, Luiz and Grandmère.
It is very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI feel privileged to have it. When Luiz told me that he was selling his icons, I asked if he had a Madonna. He sent me a picture of the unfinished Madonna that he was working on. I said right away that I wanted it.
ReplyDeleteLovely: an invitation to recollected prayer...
ReplyDeleteJCF, yes. I can't wait for it to arrive.
