Blessed Namesday
Yesterday was the commemoration/feast day of the Holy Patriarchs and Matriarchs recounted in the Old Testament. Thus it was all of my children's namesdays as they were originally named for people, and a river, in the Old Testament. Jordan (who I'll add on Theophany) and Jeremy chose the Russian brothers, Boris and Gleb, Jared (who unfortunately doesn't have an icon, but is the father of Enoch, "who walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.", who was the father of the oldest living human, Mathuselah) chose Justin Martyr, and Ben chose the Russian Saint Vladimir when they entered the Orthodox Church, but Rachel and Rebecca kept the Saints they were named after. Isaac, who was stillborn, is also commemorated today. God grant you many years, and Memory Eternal!

Nice post! Love the icons and that flowing Jordan river water, too. ;-)
Where did you find these nice OT icons?
