Good article. By the way, virtually none of the icons he has posted are Russian. They are mostly all Greek. :)
We have an "icon-style" picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in our dining room. It's kind of a trans-cultural goof, since the Sacred Heart devotion is Western European!
It's pretty, though, and we also have St. Thomas the Apostle in our sons' room - gave it to our son Thomas for his First Communion present. In spite of the "global community," I don't suppose there's an icon of Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson :-).
