I know that with the diversity of ethnic traditions here, and the wealth of iconographic knowledge, someone will be able to! Enjoy the most beautiful hymn associated with it (in English) 'Rejoice Bride Unwedded' written by St. Nektarios.

Alice Moderator Member Registered: 01/12/03 Posts: 10203 Loc: USA	I have a feeling the icon is from some Middle Eastern tradition? Can someone verify this?

chaldobyzantine Member Registered: 07/13/10 Posts: 51 Loc: USA	To my knowledge, the icon most resembles the Romanian tradition. However, many Romanian parishes and iconographers have decided to prefer the Greek tradition, such as my local one. These icons seem somewhat similar in style: http://www.traditional-from-romania.ro/index.php?cPath=1_42
