“Three icons comprise the core of our iconostasis. In the center, of course, is the image of the Savior—the Merciful Pantocrator, Whose name is Love. On His right hand is the Mother of God, the pure Intercessor for all the suffering. At His left hand is St. John the Forerunner, faithful to Christ to the end, to his very last drop of blood. May the Lord help us also take on this faith, compassion, and love. “
