Last night we had an art auction fund raiser for the parish. Not only did we raise a good amount of money (about $7000) but we had a lot of fun in the process. People acquired some nice pieces (photography and paintings mostly), too.
I bought this icon of the Theotokos. It was written by a local artist whose daughter donated it to the auction.
For as long as I am at my current parish, I will have the Theotokos icon in the chapel under the other one. While it is wonderful that we have an original icon of John Henry Hopkins, I am not into worshipping him. The chapel feels bare without the Theotokos. Wednesday I will put it up (I need a drill to start the hole for the hook) and will take a photo of it. Then life will feel a bit better (I'll still keep the small icon of Mary of the Streets or will substitute in my icon of San Romero de las Américas).
