With the blessing of the Orthodox Church, and his fellow "graffiti" artists adorn Moscow's bridges, underpasses and abandoned churches with their work. Even a bombed-out school in Eastern Ukraine has been adorned with sacred images. http://bit.ly/2Fi71r8

"You were shown in truth to be the most honourable of the prophets, for you were deemed worthy to baptize in the streams of the Jordan Him whom they foretold"
