Welcome
An avid collector of books and transcriptions, St. Jelena is considered the creator of the first library. She was also known for taking in poor girls and widows, whom she cared for and taught how to read and write, which is considered the first model for a western-style school in Serbia.

The image struck me with full force as I sat one day at my desktop computer. I was staring at a copy of an icon from St. Catherine’s monastery in Sinai, Egypt. In vivid color, the Theotokos was holding Christ from within a mantle of glowing flames. Known as “The Virgin of the Burning Bush,” or “The Mother of God, Unburnt Bush,” this icon was my first introduction to theology about the Theotokos, while still a fairly new Anglican convert curious about church history.
