<p>[QUOTE="April07, post: 1152783, member: 7302"]I am not that strong in church rituals but it seems me a bit small to cover the altar. The closest fit by size (also by design) that I found is the so-called 'vozdukh' ('air') that is used until now to cover the dish that keeps the bread that represents the body of Christ and is used also in funeral-related rituals. I think it could (and should) be dated before the 1917 Russian revolution because of the presence of the word 'Count'. However, I would not discard, of course, the possibility of some Count Dmitry who died in emigration already after the revolution.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
