Question
Why is the Icon of St. Macarius the Egyptian by Theophan Grek not quite as you describe in your YouTube Video and Podcasts (Episode 4)?
Answer
Regrettably, only poor resolution images are currently available, so I had to choose the best image available, despite the fact that it did not correspond exactly to my description of it.
The Mount Thabor Academy tried to purchase a better quality resolution from one of the foremost online art resources, but without success: the art resource also could not locate a suitably high-resolution image for publication.
