Wooden board, in Russian icon. I will look in my books, and will say as she it is called. But brass thing is called [lampada]. It hang before the icon and in it burns the fire, inside must be the glass cup, into which are placed wick and oil. Very beautiful [lampada].Laura @ 52 FLEAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01095761354333333105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901543461995472408.post-69276428792062210332009-10-22T20:34:44.815-04:002009-10-22T20:34:44.815-04:00У Вас замечательные находки.

Она висит перед иконой и в ней горит огонь, внутри должна быть стеклянная чаша, в которую помещают фитиль и масло. Очень красивая лампада.Olga Юhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09510879699062540421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901543461995472408.post-68468781287743786152009-10-04T13:05:38.986-04:002009-10-04T13:05:38.986-04:00You have brought a beautiful piece of religious hi...You have brought a beautiful piece of religious history! The Icon (picture) is of Mary and Jesus. The brass fixture is called a CON DEAL LEE. I have written it the way it is pronounced. My husband is from Greece and every Greek home has a cabinet, some built in, that hold religious Icons of Saints that are special to that person. The condeallee (not correct spelling) is sometimes electrified so it can be burning at all times next to the religious cabinet. Treasure this items! You can research Icons and the light fixture on the internet. It is very interesting to find the history of items like these. The cross on the light fixture looks more like Russian so I think several other religions have the same type of artifacts.

And the icons! Another one of my weaknesses, althought I've managed to keep it pretty much confined to the Vigin of Guadalupe. There is so much "devotion" associated with the icons - they have been cherised and valued - how can you not love them?

That last item, the little shrine, is amazing. I would rework it, putting a photo or collage over the current image = probably sacriligious, but that's just me! I wouldn't display any overtly religious items in my home, except perhaps in an 'ironic' way. Again, just my own take.
