<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 68136, member: 44&quot;]Took me a bit to understand the info about this icon. It seems it is a copy of an icon found in the Monastery of Vatopedi on Mount Athos, Greece. That monastery was built during the second half of the 10th century. The actual postcard is in the Zemplén Museum in Szerencs, Hungary.</p><p><br /></p><p>Monastery of Vatopedi in Greece:</p><p><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatopedi_monastery" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatopedi_monastery" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatopedi_monastery</a></p><p><a href="http://www.macedonian-heritage.gr/Athos/Monastery/Vatopedi.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.macedonian-heritage.gr/Athos/Monastery/Vatopedi.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.macedonian-heritage.gr/Athos/Monastery/Vatopedi.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The Zemplen Museum:</p><p><a href="http://gotohungary.com/more-cultural-events/-/netaview/42512/zempleni-museum-castle-museum-;jsessionid=9ECBFB7763B0FBFD3AA168A12A82AD66" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://gotohungary.com/more-cultural-events/-/netaview/42512/zempleni-museum-castle-museum-;jsessionid=9ECBFB7763B0FBFD3AA168A12A82AD66" rel="nofollow">http://gotohungary.com/more-cultural-events/-/netaview/42512/zempleni-museum-castle-museum-;jsessionid=9ECBFB7763B0FBFD3AA168A12A82AD66</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szerencs#Tourist_sights" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szerencs#Tourist_sights" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Szerencs#Tourist_sights</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
