Mousakas (non lenten)

Peel the potatoes and the aubergines. Wash them and cut them in slices. Then, sprinkle the aubergines in salt and let them sit for about an hour at least. After that, fry the potatoes first and then the aubergines, after you have washed and drained them. Peel the onions and the garlic and chop them. Saute them and when they brown, pour the tomatoes, which have been mashed first (in the blender). When all the ingredients are boiled for 15 minutes, pour the spices and then turn off the heat. Then, prepare the baking pan.

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.
