Green Beans with Octopus

Green Beans with Octopus

After we have soaked, washed   and   peeled  the beans, we start boiling them. We also boil the octopus in another pot  without putting anything else in it. When the green beans are half boiled, we  pour  the octopus’ juice on them, all the other ingredients needed  and the whole tentacles in the pot, but we don’t mix them.
When the sauce is boiled down, we serve the green beans by cutting the tentacles in small pieces and trimming the whole platter with them.

The Symbolism of Objects Held by Saints in Byzantine Iconography

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.
