It was established as a special memorial day of the Council at Constantinople in 843. It commemorates first of all the victory of the Church over the heresy of the Iconoclasts: The use and veneration of Holy Ikons was restord. On this day we continue to sing the troparion of the Holy Image of Christ: "We reverence Thy sacred Image O Christ..." Epistle: Hebrews 11: 24-26;32-40,12:1-2 Gospel: John 1: 43-51

2 The Image of God Within Us. A story is told that when Leonardo da Vinci painted The Last Supper he sought out men who could be living models for Our Lord and the apostles for his painting. Each model had to have a face that expressed da Vinci s vision of the particular man he would represent. One day, de Vinci saw a young man who had features of love, tenderness, caring in innocence, compassion, and kindness. This man would be his model for Jesus. However, years went by and the painting was still not complete. Da Vinci could not find the right face for Judas. He was looking for a man whose face was streaked with despair, wickedness, greed, and sin. Ten years after starting the picture, he found a man in prison whose face had all the qualities for which he had been searching. This prisoner, then, would be the model for Judas. As da Vinci worked, he noticed the prisoner growing more and more uneasy. He asked the prisoner, What seems to trouble you so much? The man began sobbing and said, Don t you remember, me? Ten years ago I was your model for Jesus! The once innocent youth had turned his back on Christ and had begun living a sinful life. The face that had once radiated love, now showed misery. The expression of hope was replaced by despair. The light of Christ within him had grown dim. On this first Sunday of the Great Fast, let us ask ourselves, What do others see in our face? Is our face of kindness and love, or of despair and misery?
