The Gospel text reads: "I Am the Resurrection and the Life. He who believes in me, though he die, yet he shall live." (It's kind of hard to see from the photo.)

Not really knowing what to do with a 2X3 foot icon in my home, I plan to donate it to the new FOCUS center in Pittsburgh, an Orthodox outreach center attempting to provide aid to those in need.
