i told ppl many times but they won't listen.

I don't know cuh the only times we've ever interacted about religion were in Christian threads, with you saying shit like "dead liar on a stick" and I replying back with "dead religion btw".
I thought you were just ragebaiting. Never had a proper conversation about your faith.

I guess that's my fault though, should've been more curious.

I think some anglican churches hold Martin Luther as a saint, maybe (probably) lutherans do too.
They aren't too fond of icons though I think, they mostly have statues of them.

I think the greek letters spell out Ephraim, but I can't put a full name on this saint. He looks like an athonite monk though.
Ah "Epraim of Katounakia", haven't read his hagiography yet.

What do you even do to practice your religion, do you like cook an alive lobster as a sacrifice or something

I don't think pagans are interested in spreading their religions at all. Since to them, local gods exist, they're fine with believeing in their own local gods and don't care for what exists beyond. At least that's my understanding of it. Certainly, romans and greeks had an understanding that Neptune and Poseidon were the same God with different names. I don't know.
I'm not a historian.

Saint Gabriel of Georgia, great saint ! Pray for us sinners.

give offerings like incenses, fragrances, and stuff.

fyi, lobsters are always cooked alive, since lobster meat spoils immediately after death and harmful bacteria can multiply. plus, it's not that tasty after death.

anyway, i won't derail any further, so if you have any questions then you can go on my mesosmerican repository thread:

This feels very western in artstyle.
It's quite beautiful though.

Yeah some Russian icons tend to look more western

Anglicans have these stained glass icons though

I don't read greek.
Who are these saints ?

It's 2 different icons of the same saint, it's Saint John of Damascus

Don't know of this saint either.
An ottoman martyr I suppose ?

Correct, this is Saint John of Tourkoleka
When the Ottomans beheaded his father in front of him and asked him to become a Muslim, he did the sign of the cross and said "Wherever my father went I will go also"

St Arsenios the Cappadocian next to St Paisios
They're next to each other because St Arsenios was the one who baptized St Paisios
