Today the Russian Orthodox Church commemorates the feast of St. Andrei Rublev (1430), whose icons achieved a new level of artistic and spiritual depth. His icon of the "Savior of Zvenigorod" was discovered in 1918 on the bottom of a board used as the stairway in a barn.

Oh my! I had no idea. I once wrote an innovation paper about how Rublev's writing (of icons) has changed so many, including me and it's been an economic juggernaut for Russian tourism.

I pray with this icon every morning, inspired to do so by Henri Nouwen’s book “Praying with Icons”. Nouwen considered Andrei Rublev’s "Savior of Zvenigorod" his favorite of all icons ever. Good enough for me! 😇
