To
the right of the entrance, opposite the carving of Saint Martin, is this
Russian Orthodox icon. Dating to the late seventeenth century, the icon
depicts the Annunciation, when Mary accepted God’s call, brought to her
by an angel, to be the mother of Christ. In the Catholic tradition,
icons call to mind holy events and people and are often objects of
meditation and prayer.
