Octopus Soup

Ingredients:
1 kilo small octopus
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 onions, chopped
1 bunch of dill, chopped
½ cup of tomato paste soup
Salt, pepper, vinegar
Rice (optional)

 

Instructions:
Boil the octopuses and keep the broth. After they boil, chop them finely. In a pan sauté onion in olive oil and garlic. Pour a little juice from the octopus and add the dill, the tomato paste dissolved in a little water, salt and pepper. After they get a couple of boils, add the remaining broth (as much as needed) and add the chopped octopus. If you see that the soup is too waterish, add a little rice. Before you remove the pot from the heat, pour vinegar as much as you want.

The Symbolism of Objects Held by Saints in Byzantine Iconography

In this article you will read about the symbolism of various objects in Byzantine Iconography, such as the cross and the Church held by the Saints, the open palms, the Gospel, the scrolls, the rod, medical objects, as well as the choices of colors. Orthodox hagiography reveals to Christians the unearthly, which transcends the boundaries of our physical world. It functions as a way of communication and seeks to highlight the new world that will come with the Kingdom of God. This can be expressed through the icons of the Saints, where characteristics such as schematization, simplicity and differentiation prevail.
