I like that you chose icons that do not contain the two colors that Nihil specified.

I have no compelling reason to think that the red outer garments and blue inner garments depiction is traditional, especially since most of the more ancient icons that I have seen to not follow that color scheme.

Showing icons where red and blue are absent does not prove your case.

I doubt you are even familiar with the canonical tradition of the East as it concerns icons.

You can talk all you want about the "canonical tradition of the East" but you have shown me little evidence that it is what you say it is.

Many of the canons are available in English translation and are available through SVS Press.

P.S. - I have no interest in convincing you of anything.

Telling me I can go read the canons does not provide evidence to back up your assertion. Please quote and reference the relevant canons.

We had a hideous statue of Mary in our church. She was wearing bright orange, burgandy, mauve, and brown. Oh, and someone gave her lipstick and nail polish. My brother had to fix it....[/quote]

so,

about that tag?

[Nihil Obstat]

Is anyone allowed more than one tag? Or is there a hierarchy of tags?
I'm just wondering because I assume that all the regulators are also C.M., but they don't get a C.M. flag underneath their Regulator one.

Rexi,

I really have no interest in convincing you of anything. I will say this, I am reconsidering my decision not to post in the Dormition thread, because I know how my rejection of the Western theory of the Immaculate Conception would annoy you.

God grant you many joyful years,
Todd

Yes, which color is best?

blue, but of course.

[Nihil Obstat]

I think either a really dark blue, or a deep red.

[Jaime]

I thought you were all about ignoring the tags? Why are you giving yourself one?

[quote name='Apotheoun' timestamp='1279838053' post='2146443']
Yes, that is why it is best to ignore the tags.
