in medieval imagery a parrot was a symbol for "the word made flesh" (because they could repeat human speech).biro said:The man looks to be smiling.

For Fr. Stamatis's work, it's tame enough that I like it too.Ainnir said:I like the color scheme, though.
I think I've seen Western versions of cherubim that are exactly this: childrens' heads with wings but no bodies. Usually they're just babies with wings, though.rakovsky said:![]()
I don't really understand the idea of having the children's heads. It looks kind of unsettling because I don't see the bodies. Maybe the bodies are under the cloud floor?

I found versions where abbreviations for the apostles are marked.Mor Ephrem said:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_Vine#/media/File%3ASpas_Loza_Istinnaya_ikona.jpg
I have a copy of this icon, but it annoys me that the apostles are not named. I know the identities of some for sure, but not all. Would someone know who’s who?
