Greetings everyone,
My name is Pavel and I am new to this forum. I am Russian and obviously I was baptised in the Russian Cathedral.
One of my friends just recently opened a gallery in the heart of Old Riga, Latvia. The gallery has many different Russian Orthodox Icons. All Icons are hand-written by Monks from Russia. Moreover, it was blessed by Archiepiscopal of Latvia Alexander and mentioned in the local media.
Just before launching an official website in 3 languages (Russian, Latvian, and English) and decided to create a blog, which is totally in English Language. Since I have been translating all descriptions from Russian by myself, there could be potential misinterpretations or inaccuracies.
Here is the link: http://russianicon.blogspot.com
I would be more than delighted to see your comments at this blog so that I could correct the content accordingly.
Pavel
