Outside hangs a large image of the "Saviour-not-made-with-hands," the Russian name for the sacred imprint on St. Veronica's handkerchief, which is the most popular of all the representations of Christ in ikoni. Before it burns the usual "unquenchable lamp," filled with the obligatory pure olive-oil. Beneath it stands a table bearing a large bowl of consecrated water.
Isabel Florence Hapgood - Russian Rambles
