Yogurt Sweet Dessert

We heat a glass of  pineapple compote juice  and dilute the jelly in it. We mix the yoghurt in a blender. As soon as the jelly is cold, we add the yoghurt and keep mixing it until it is smooth enough. We serve it in bowls. When it is cold enough, we add some pieces of the pineapple compote in it. We garnish it with pineapple, whipped cream and cherries.

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.
