I got a most usual request last Sunday: to pose for an icon. No, not an icon of me (don't be silly!), but one of Blessed Marco d'Aviano--a Capuchin priest whose preaching rallied the Christian troops during the Siege of Vienna (1683-1689) and who was beatified in 2003. You can read more about him here.
We didn't happen to have a Capuchin habit lying around, so we had to make due with an approximation. But I did have the beard the iconographer was looking for. She seemed pleased with my "modeling" debut...
Oh, to not only pose as a saint, but to be one...
Blessed Marco, pray for us!
