InCogNeat3's Member Registered: 03/15/06 Posts: 621 Loc: UNDER THE PANTOCRATOR	In Icons, why does St. Seraphim of Serov typically wear a White/Light Grey Podrasnik rather than a Black Podrasnik? Edited by InCogNeat3's (12/14/07 04:31 AM)

Father Anthony Administrator Member Registered: 02/16/05 Posts: 3404 Loc: New York	Dear InCognNeat's This is just a speculative guess, but Saint Seraphim was known to greet everyone with the Paschal greeting "Christ is Risen!". It could be his way of also showing that he is in the Paschal dress that is afforded to some monastics during the Paschal season, yet was his everyday attire. In IC XC, Father Anthony+ _________________________ Everyone baptized into Christ should pass progressively through all the stages of Christ's own life, for in baptism he receives the power so to progress, and through the commandments he can discover and learn how to accomplish such progression. - Saint Gregory of Sinai

Fr. Deacon Lance Moderator Member Registered: 08/29/98 Posts: 3973 Loc: Washington, PA	I believe it is due to his unusual devotion to the Resurrection. It is said he always used the greeting: "Christ is risen!" no matter what time of year it was. I believe he wore a white podrasnik in honor of the Resurrection year round as well. _________________________ My cromulent posts embiggen this forum.

InCogNeat3's Member Registered: 03/15/06 Posts: 621 Loc: UNDER THE PANTOCRATOR	Thank you Fathers! I have been wondering for quite some time. Up until now the only guess that I have heard is, "It must have been hot where he lived." Your explanations make sense. Thank you very, very much.
