Pudding with Raisins

Ingredients:
3 spoonful of blonde raisins
2 spoonful of brandy
1 package cornflour cream with lemon
½ cup of sugar
3 yolks
½ cup of cold milk
3 ½ of hot milk
10 Savoyard (or Lady Fingers) biscuits cut in small pieces and mixed with 3 spoonful of smashed walnuts

 

Instructions:
Soak the raisins in the brandy. Mix the cornflour cream with lemon with the sugar, the lemon jelly, the yolks and the cold milk in a pot. Add the hot milk and mix the cream continuously with a wooden ladle in a low temperature. As soon as it is curdy enough, switch off the stovetop and leave it until it is cold enough. Coat a cake tin with a little bit of oil. Pour the ¼ of the cream in it. Sprinkle the 1/3 of the cream with the savoyard biscuits. Do the same thing again and finish it with a layer of cream. Let the pudding in the fridge for several hours.

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.
