Reminder the Apostles were miraculously gathered from the ends of the earth in order to be present at the repose & burial of the Mother of God. This is a 15th century icon from Novgorod depicting the Dormition of the Theotokos, showing the punishment of the blasphemer Athonius. https://t.co/J6XpeqSt9S
