Legend of the Holy Mountain (Mount Athos)
Ivan Milev, Bulgaria, 1926
The painting is inspired by the story of the Blessed Virgin Mary, sailing accompanied by St John the Evangelist from Joppa to Cyprus to visit Lazarus. When the ship was blown off course to then-pagan Athos, it was forced to anchor near the port of Klement, close to the present monastery of Iviron. The Virgin walked ashore and, overwhelmed by the mountain's wonderful and wild natural beauty, she blessed it and asked her Son for it to be her garden. A voice was heard saying, "Let this place be your inheritance and your garden, a paradise and a haven of salvation for those seeking to be saved". From that moment the mountain was consecrated as the garden of the Mother of God and was out of bounds to all other women.
An exception of the no women on Mount Athos rule is Helena of Bulgaria (b.1315 - d. 7.11.1374), wife of Serbian king and later emperor Stefan Dušan(b. 1308 - d. 20.12.1355, reign 1331-1355), who avoided breaking the ban by not touching the ground for her entire visit, by being constantly carried in a hand carriage.
This is a work of art, literally
My piece for @hwsfemmephenomenon
This is my first zine. I wanted to do something small and simple, but I couldn't help myself. This is a traditional folk art - маляваныя дываны, painting on canvas for interior decoration. I just wanted to show Natasha, who is close to nature and a little wild, surrounded by local animals and birds. That's why I called it Дзева, she's just a maiden in the midst of nature.
LOL, I LV THIS
BosBul's ship name should be burek and yoghurt since Enis loves pies and Bul loves yoghurt..also that combination slaps, the yoghurt just makes the pie better
Love them!
