This photo is special to me for a couple of reasons. The icon was a Christmas gift from my daughter. I suppose it’s meant as a Christmas decoration but I love it too much so I keep it out all year. The candle holder is a new one meant to fit the peacock theme we have going on in our living room. The prior residents of this house had painted peacocks in various places. We discovered that peacocks are a Christian symbol of resurrection, and as that was particularly apt (since we moved here after losing everything in a house fire) we decided to go with it.
