Over the last few days fellow Okie drlobojo has been posting pictures of a damaged icon in an attempt at getting it identified. Turns out it’s of St. Catherine, and he’s done some work getting it refurbished. The result is quite lovely.

It IS lovely. Thank you for sharing this.
So glad you liked it — I thought of you as soon as I saw it!
It is gorgeous. I asked him, and I suppose if I really wanted an answer, I could look it up, but I wonder – what miracles were those who held the icon of St. Catherine looking for?
I suppose in drlobojo’s case, it’s a cure for grumpiness or curmudgeonliness
Geoffrey: I’m still trying to figure out exactly which St. Catherine it is. Maybe someone specified in the comments and I just missed it?
In any case, I certainly hope it does not cure drlobojo of his curmudgeonliness as that’s one of the things I enjoy most about him (especially when he’s commenting on the more ridiculous aspects of the conversations over at ER’s).
