«Mother Anastasia, I just wanted to tell you that I received the icons by mail and they arrived in good shape. They were so beautiful when I first unwrapped them that I felt like the Lord and his Mother were actually about to move and speak to me
right then.
The difference between reproduction mounted icons and original written icons is like night and day.

I feel blessed to have them and will pray to God for you and the spiritual gift he has given you.

I hope to add a family icon in the future and will be in
touch with you then.

Thank you again.
Yours in Christ,»
