Jesus Christ the Good Shepherd, Who lays down His life for
the sheep
The icon of the "disbeliever", as described by St.
Nektarios of Pentapolis
The unbeliever is the most unfortunate person among men
because he is denied the single most precious thing in this world, faith, which
is the only true guide toward truth and good fortune. The unbeliever is so
unfortunate because he has been denied hope, the only constant support on the
long road of life. The unbeliever is very unfortunate because he is missing the
true love of people which surround his troubled heart. The unbeliever is most
unfortunate since he is being denied divine beauty and the divine likeness of
the Creator. This is the beauty that the Divine Artist has engraved in our
hearts and which our faith has revealed to us.
