In English:

Made on courses.

These Orthodox icons have been made on courses by ordinary people. Our winter is long and dark. All of the people do not want to look at their television all the time, but they want to learn new things on many courses because people are not lazy. So they go on some adult education collage once a week during autumn, winter and spring. When all the different types of courses finish, then there is an exhibition in April. These icons I photographed in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. At the end there are five Easter eggs. They belong to the same category than those icons.

En español:

Hechos en cursos.

Estos iconos Ortodoxos han sido hechos en cursos por personas ordinarias. Nuestro invierno es largo y oscuro. Todas las personas no quieren mirar su televisión todo el tiempo, pero ellos quieren aprender cosas en muchos cursos. Así ellos pasan a algún escuelas populares para adultos una vez a la semana durante otoño, invierno y primavera. Cuándo todos tipos de diferentes cursos terminan, entonces hay una exposición en abril. Estos iconos fotografié en 2006, 2007, 2008 y 2009. Al fin hay cinco huevos de Pascua. Ellos pertenecen a la misma categoría que esos iconos.

En francais:

Faites sur les cours.

Ces icônes Orthodoxes ont été faites sur les cours par des gens ordinaires. Notre hiver est long et sombre. Tous les gens ne veulent pas regarder leur télévision tout le temps, mais ils veulent apprendre des choses sur differents cours. Ainsi ils vont a quelque école populaire pour adultes une fois par semaine pendant l’automne, l’hiver et le printemps. Quand tout les types différents de courses finissent, alors il y a une exposition au mois d’avril. Ces icônes j’ai photographiée dans 2006, 2007, 2008 et 2009. A la fin il y a cinq oeufs de Pâques. Ils appartiennent à la même catégorie que ces icônes.

Bonjour Sartenada,
Formidable de voir cette tradition se perpétrer parmi des citoyens et non les seuls artistes et religieux.
Très beau, encore, ce que tu nous présentes !
Etonnée de découvrir aussi des scènes de combat (4 et 27), mais je les aime beaucoup.
Et ces oeufs !!… 🙄
Bon week-end !

- Merci beaucoup Marion pour ton comment. Les icônes 4 et 27 presentent une épisode de Georges de Lydda qui était Saint Georges pour les chrétiens. Tu peut te lire plus dans Wikipedia:

  Bon week-end a toi aussi.

  - On parlait de trait d’union entre les nations… St Georges, en est un sacré exemple ! Merci à toi pour ces explications.
    A bientôt !

Ces travaux ont été réalisés par des “gens ordinaires” ?
Certains font leur petit effet, vraiment, bravo.
En arrivant sur la page, j’ai d’abord pensé que les photos représentais des tableaux et autres objets d’époque art roman…

- Bonjour photo sur toile.
  
  Oui, c’est vrai que par des gens ordinaires. Dans mon pays, les gens ont beaucoup de passe-temps pendant l’hiver. Ceci est un bon exemple.
  
  Merci beaucoup pour Votre visite et commentaire.
  
  Belle journée.

- Hi Flandrumhill.
  
  Thank You commenting. Although I am not Orthodox, I like these. To me they present something mystic, something unknown, something religious, something glorious, miracles and art. The art of painting Orthodox icons has hard regulations. All of these icons have been blessed. I am not the best one to tell the correct thing about them, but Wikipedia gives good info.
  
  I have two posts from churches, I mean Orthodox churches and in them You could see Icons painted by professional.
  
  Here are links:
  
  Beautiful Orthodox church in Hamina:
  
  Church of St. Peter and St. Paul / Iglesia de San Pedro y San Pablo / Eglise de Saint Pierre et Saint Paul
  
  Beautiful Orthodox church in Helsinki:
  
  Uspensky Orthodox Cathedral / Catedral ortodoxa de Uspenski / Orthodoxe Cathédrale Uspensky
  
  Happy Wednesday!

  - Matti, the regulations involved in painting an orthodox icon are fascinating. What is especially interesting to me is that the artists do their best to copy an older icon instead of creating an original of their own design, and traditionally do not sign their work.
    
    Thank you for the links. Those two churches are beautiful.

Very interesting. Are they painted using egg tempera method? Or, perhaps you don’t know .

Thank you Matti , these icons are wonderful!
Though I’ll never be able to paint these figures on Easter eggs , I think!
All the post deserves 1000 “likes”…..

- Hi Anna.
  
  I am happy that You loved icons also. Icon painting is popular in some places because we have also some Orthodox people in my country. I have to sigh also when seeing those eggs when remembering that ordinary people painted them. Some day, when You have time, then click Categories in my blog and scroll down searching “Made on courses”. You’ll be amazed when seeing for example glass painting, porcelain paintings and paintings. There are eight posts presenting what ordinary people have made on courses.
  
  Thank You.
