I was recently commissioned to translate some profound and inspiring works by our Righteous Father Alexei Mechev, which I put together in a booklet. Unfortunately, after printing 500 copies, circumstances changed and the one who commissioned the work has been hospitalized and called off the purchase. Since I am at an unforeseen personal loss with this, I wanted to make these never before translated texts available to my followers for only $11.95 a copy, which includes shipping and handling in the United States (orders outside the US, please use a pay button towards the bottom of this page and include $5 for a total of $16.95). I would like to sell all of these as quick as possible, and it would be great reading material for the lenten season. As an added incentive, for the first 50 people who order, I will also offer a never before published text by Fr. John Romanides titled "The Canon and the Inspiration of the Holy Scripture" free of charge.

Two Old and Rare Icons of the Virgin Mary and Christ Child


The first icon above bears the title "The First Steps of Christ". Though in recent years this icon has been reproduced many times, the original and oldest dates to the late 16th century and can be found at Leimonos Monastery in Lesvos. It depicts the Theotokos teaching the Christ Child how to walk.


The second icon above depicts the Theotokos teaching the Christ Child how to read. It is another very old icon from Pontus in Asia Minor, though I cannot find any other information about this icon.
