Cuttlefish with Spinach

Ingredients:
1 kilo cuttlefish
1 kilo spinach
15 spring onions
1 bunch of dill
1 bunch of fennel
Some mint leaves
300 g. oil
 Salt, black pepper, oregano
Cumin
Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions:
Poach the cuttlefish and cut them in pieces as you like. Then clean, chop and wash the spinach well. Dip the spinach in boiled water for a while. Get it out and drain it. Clean and chop the spring onions, the dill and the fennel. Pour the oil in a pan and sauté the spring onions and the cuttlefish. Then, add the spinach. Add a spoonful of broth from the cuttlefish, as well as the salt. When it comes to boil, add the dill and the fennel. Don’t pour much broth, as the spinach will bring out its own liquid and will boil very quickly. Add the spices and lower the heat. Wait until all the liquids are evaporated and the food stays with its oil. Add the lemon 1 minute before you remove from heat.

Little Orange Pies

Little Orange Pies

In a pan,  we heat the margarine , we add the marmalade, the juice, the orange peels, the liquer  and we mix them  well. We fill each little flaky pastry with two spoonfuls of the mixture and we fold it in two, so that it is like a triangle. We spread a little melted butter on our small orange pies and we bake them in a warm up oven, in 180 degrees for about 20 minutes.

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.
