Невероятная милость!)      
               
пока напитывалась любовью Святого и читала житие Святого Спиридона (как обычно на разных языках) дополнительно узнала, что 

Theodora the Armenian or Theodora the Blessed was Byzantine empress as the wife of Byzantine emperor Theophilos and Her relics are in the Saint Spyridon Church in Corfu as well.

Theodora apparently continued tо venerate icons and she succeeded in convincing her husband to release the imprisoned icon painter Lazarus Zographos who is also known as The First Iconographer Saint. He was born in Armenia on November 17, 810.

Lazarus became a monk at an early age and studied the art of painting at the Stoudios Monastery in Constantinople. Lazarus was noted to possess the following virtues: love for Christ, asceticism, prayer,  rejection of the vanities of the world, discipline, alms-giving and well known for his frescos.
