The Russian Icon Painter
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 лют 2011
- Simeon Larivonovoff is a Russian Orthodox icon painter who resides in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His devotion to his ascetic lifestyle, prayer, and painting has made him into a living anachronism. Interviewed on a Saturday afternoon, Simeon vigorously winds clocks and lights kerosene lamps in preparation for Sunday, the day of rest. He explains his work, which has been in his family for over six centuries, and his tensions with the modern world.

"How did you end up in Pittsburgh?"
"My sins"
That's the most Orthodox answer ever
He's a special kind of Artist. He's an authentically God driven man.
The old icon with the three hands . . . that is St John of Damascus' hand restored to him so he could carry on his work writing in defence of icons after it was off by a Caliph. he prayed to an icon of the Virgin, Mother of God, fell asleep in front of it and as he slept she restored his hand
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
You don’t know you are the chosen of God. Jesus is black African, Jamaicans are God’s chosen were brought there into slavery
So wonderful! Thank you!
Wonderful Video Thank you for posting.
Thank you - it's nice.
God bless you and this man, I hope that he is still living, and if not may his memory be eternal. God bless you and pray for me a sinner
Thank you
I love this. It is wonderful.
Wow unbelievable talent I wish I was bless to have some of those paintings.
glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.. we are in Maine and we are so interested in your work.. we both were baptizes and Chris-mated 2 springs ago on Palm Sunday.. since covid 19 we have not had much divine liturgy.. hope to hear from you....would you consider coming to Maine to help begin a mission in our town ?
I heard Father Thomas Hopko of blessed memory speak to this business of not working on Sunday. He said that back in his day, they would’ve called such a restriction a “Judah-izing heresy”.
God bless you in your iconography. 😃❤️
esau, this man and his kin, were in the caves when these pictures of gods chosen people were painted.
His people were in caves in the 1600's? You do know Russia has buildings older than that still standing today?
Sposibo Bam bolshoe. Blessings to you! 🙏🏻💕
Why did it their clothes darken too like their skin? Also how do you explain the Afro?

Brother, there is no such thing as Greek Orthodoxy. Orthodoxy is above all nations and peoples. Church may be Greek, Russian, Serbian or Romanian, but not the holy Orthodox Christianity.
Is there an update on this Gentleman?
He's smart and thrifty with his Gold Leaf...Puttsburg.Pittsburgh. God sent him to Pittsburgh because of his sins? I love his dark humor..I wish they would show more of his up close!!

“How did you end up in Pittsburgh?”
“My sins.”
Yikes
Donnez nous nos icônes.
Hidden truth.
Us blacks knew we the Jews
We wuz Jewz n shiiiiiiii
Revelation 2:9 Revelation 3:9
EXACTLY 💯!!! They got alot of nerve huh?! Unbelievable!! Can't wait for our Father, God of Israel , to make them pay!!
@@angelabachert7738 The Orthodox Church is Israel.
Yes brother! Oddly enough, it will be soon enough that they will declare it themselves. It's so good to see my people knowing who we are.
@@MEJEL-belongedofyehawashi I agree with you! 1:36 But many Hebrews haven’t spiritually woken up too who they are in these black Christian churches, as well as those who are wondering around out here in the world as lost sheep 🐑 from the House of Israel
No one talking about the dog
If you watched the video, he mentioned it has stage 4 cancer and he doesn't have the heart to put him down.
He was not Italian or a racist!!!!
Whh not like the originals that Vladimir showcased 13 years ago.
My brethren, Sunday is and has always the first day of the week. The Sunday became the designated day of worship by one of the earlier popes in vatican Rome (this is documented) and they have acknowledged that the sabbath was changed to sunday. Ppl be aware of 2 things: 1) The Sabbath: the 4th commandment " six days shalt thou labour but on the 7th thou shall do no labour" 2) Know this, as it is written in scripture...those who have changed scripture, "a portion of yours from the tree of life will be taken from you on the day of judgement." Shalom.
The Sabbath was not changed for the Orthodox. Saturday is still the Sabbath and is the first service of the Liturgical week. It starts at sundown. Christians worship God on Sunday because it is resurrection Sunday. Every Sunday we celebrate Christ’s victory over death.
@@czuw2967 "for the Orthodox"
Russians are Ethiopians in souls
Those ppl look nothing like him.
And you get punishment
@@sebastiangimz1109 😂
Do the Saints and Angels painted have to look like modern people?
They been knew, but Satan did us in,
There was and never will be a caucasian prophet!
@@jvthebest2891 ok and you and your people will pay for what u did to the children of God putting us into slavery all the while shooting us down in the streets with no guilt or regret within yourselves.
Kan💣⚔️
?? And not african nor chinese either. They were all jews
@@gabrielgabriel5177.... If they were not Africans then where are they from????? Are you aware that the garden of Eden is in Africa.
@@777aquamarine7 you must think that donald duck is real life story. You can easily find out that garden of eden was somewhere in middle east. So you think that israel is in africa and garden of eden was in africa. Check the map again my friend. Middle-east is not part of africa. Even north africans like tunisian, libyan, egyptians dont call themself africans.
Ever seen a whiteman with an Afro?
They know the truth. Fact are fact was written in the 30/40
Yes I have
Bob Ross?
What does an Afro have to do with anything in this video and Bob Ross and my Uncle Dale have afro's
It's in their blood, African somewhere!
Why do people think the Sabbath is On Sunday it's not it's Saturday the Pope changed this fact I'm black a woman and I'm telling you it's on Sat Her Day!!!!!
MY Friend you are sadly mistaken. Saturday is the Day of Rest, the Seventh Day of the week.
Sunday is the First day of the week. Look at your Calander, every new week starts with Sunday, the first day of the new week and ends on the 7th day Sabbath. Preparation Day is Friday, do all your work on Friday.
The Greek Catholic Church changed the day of worship and rest to Sunday, the First Day of the Week. In doing this they are hoping to Usurp God of his children. All those who change the Words of God's will be lost to Satan and their days are bleed and hard.
Ppl saying the paints have darkened over time but Mona Lisa is just fine. Loooool. Not to add that they have big afro on their heads. There are even fresques of black ancient Hebrew. We will rise again. Either you like it or not. How weird how the paints only darkened on the surrounding parts of the face. But the cheekbones, nose and forehead are still bright. Just as they naturally are on a human face. You are liars.
The sad thing about Russia have Black Paintings of So called Jesus and 12 Apostles from 15 hundreds and under …They know we are the true Children of the Most High my Brother⚔️
@@anitanance5000 ofc they know. I mean Zephaniah 3:10has been pretty clear about that. Over the river of cushi. Which is deep in Africa 🙏🏿💯✌🏿. But the most important overall is to worship the lord God without mixing his cult with any other entity. Because only God has the right to be worshipped without association. Just like Muslims do .Take care sis by the way 🤣
@@ouziou1 I’m Israelite, and same to ya❤️⚔️
Breh they literally say they worship black Madonna in Europe
They weren't made by paint.... They were made by egg tempura and vinegar
I wonder why he lightened their skin tone. The original icon paintings of the original Hebrew biblical prophets showed their true skin color, they were "black people".
every painting darkens over time as it acumulates dust and oxydases
@@01ombladon these afro centrist so-called black Hebrew Israelites won't believe us no matter the evidence since they hate white people.
@@01ombladon
Why not paintings like mona lisa
See Everything Now no, they were dark like Arabs. Not black.
JIQUAN TURNER true, but most of the blacks were ethically Ethiopians.
He black omg 😳
He allows his dog to suffer because he cant put it down this is cruelty I don't like this man.
God doesn't put us down because we suffer, is this reason to dislike God?
I have had to put many of my loved ones down.....I suffered the loss deeply.....I hope someone will do it for me too...there is no point in the body suffering....we are not the body, it's a vehicle.
You are being a little judgemental, don't you think?
You know what I hoping? That right after that, when they were done filming this, he changed his mind and was persuaded to face his beloved dog's demise and calmly put the poor dog down. Please take into consideration that he is not part of the mindset in our country when it comes to pets. Here in the USA, pets are definately part of our families. They come on vacations with us, they go camping and hunting..well, the dogs, that is! A Russian born guy would deal.with a pet very differently, it's a whole nuther culture! Seriously, my very good Muslim friend thinks I'm absolutely out of my mind to spend the kind of money that I do at the Vets office! He thinks I'm nuts!!
Euthanasia is against his religion. Death is for God to give only.
Sunday day of rest? That's blasphemy Saturday is the Sabbath this man is a fool
All the painting a basses of the Ancient Black Hebrews Israelite its all over the earth same this Ethiopian icon.The true colors of Heberwes Israelite were Black dark Brown to black ass the night.
You clowns get everywhere. lol.
They are not even Orthodox- go away trolls!
Y'all have stolen our identity from Egypt to Jerusalem. Because of people like you so many Hebrews have continued to be persecuted and died not knowiy who they are. But we know now and the world is waking up to the greatest story ever told, our heritage as the children of the Most High Elohim of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Mark my words and rejoice as it won't be 20 more years before you will be hanging beautiful black faces on your walls. From Ur to Cannon to Yemen, Portugal, The coast of west Africa, to the Americas and beyond. We have been scattered and demeened. Having brought us here as mere children we have been treated and looked upon as animals. It is time. We are coming out of our curse and woe to any man that denies the true sons and daughters of Yahweh Most High! While you scoff and laugh, I will earnestly pray that you are humble enough to look into a thing. My Savior comes soon, and my Father's wrath will not go unquenched.
@@robindickinson8025 What about moors?
@@robindickinson8025.... What about East and Southern Africa????
Have that dog put to sleep your being cruel to it to spare your own feelings, This is not a Christian thing to do
