Overview
The grace of God is made manifest in the marvelous world which surrounds us. This is apparent both in the beauty of the natural world and in the everyday blessings in our lives. Yet history is filled with instances of supernatural grace, or miracles. Such was the appearance of the Kursk Root Icon of the Mother of God found by a hunter in a forest near the Tuscary river. The text for this colouring book gives the history of this icon, miracles associated with it - including the healing of St Seraphim of Sarov, and the hymns associated with the feast in the Orthodox Christian Church. The artwork includes lavish borders in an old Russian the style which will be a joy to colour. With illustrations and borders to colour and interesting text to inspire, this will make an excellent gift or school room resource. AUTHOR: Mary Naumenko has been involved in parish ministry for thirty-five years together with her husband who is a priest of the Russian Orthodox Church. She is the translator of two books of spiritual counsel from Russian into English: Letters to Spiritual Children (Nikodemos Orthodox Publication Society) and Striving Toward God: Spiritual Advice for Daily Living (Holy Trinity Publications) as well as the author of five books in the Lives of Saints for Young People series published by Holy Trinity Monastery. She earned an M.A. in Humanities through The Great Books Honors College at Faulkner University (Montgomery, AL). Her Master's thesis on the patristic concept of the nous in the writings of Dostoevsky provided the initial impetus for this book. 32 b/w illustrations
