Eastern Orthodox Iconography
Posted on May 13, 2012 by Andri Kyrychok
Growing up as Ukrainian Orthodox, I often looked upon and pondered the icons that were literally everywhere. The composition and actual illustration of these pieces was incredible. This started my fascination with iconography and still to this day fuels it. Hopefully these images will get someone else hooked as well.
Here is a collection of some excellent pieces to give a wide example.

Russia’s Wooden Churches Are Vanishing
Posted on April 30, 2012 by Andri Kyrychok
I was recently turned on to a story out of Russia. It seems their characteristic wooden churches (architectural wonders) are falling by the wayside due to natural disasters and lack of maintenance. Truly a shame to such beautiful buildings.
Be sure to visit http://www.richarddavies.co.uk/woodenchurches/ for Mr. Richard Davies website and for information on his new book ( “Wooden Churches – Travelling in the Russian North “) about the churches. Here is an excerpt of the story and a link to the full story and video. I added a gallery as well of some beautiful churches still standing as well. Maybe if we all turn our attention to this matter we can make a difference. Enjoy!
“The wooden church, one of Russia’s unique architectural treasures, is in danger of extinction. Once dotting the landscape by the thousand, years of harsh weather, fires, war and neglect have not been kind. Today, some 200 churches remain, most dating from the 1700s and located in the northern regions of Arkhangelsk, Karelia, and Vologda. ”
Full story is here http://www.rferl.org/media/soundslide/24564914.html
As always, great praise and thanks to all the photographers featured here. Excellent shots!
Get involved in this cause! The loss of these building would be a irreversible cultural loss.
