A picture of Good King Wenceslaus & his page, walking through the deep snow, to deliver supplies to a poor peasant. There is a full moon out & it is snowing. In the right hand corner, off in the distance, is a small house in the woods. On the right is King Wenceslaus, a black man with a white beard wearing a gold crown, striped purple & black scarf, a purple robe, carrying pine logs to start a fire. The page is following close behind, & dressed in similar clothes with long blonde hair, carrying a basket of food. image credit unknown

An icon in a rectangular frame depicting a male figure in a white robe with wide sleeves and a maroon and gold band at the neckline that extends to drape down his left side (maybe an orarion?). His right arm is bent at the elbow so that his hand is in front of his right breast; from it dangles a gold-colored censer. His left elbow is also bent so that is left hand is in front of him; the hand is hidden by a red-colored cloth, on top of which sits a miniature church.
