Armani would be good, but I could also picture Christ with Cardin labels all over him as well. wink I guess "boxers or briefs" wouldn't be a good question, would it? biggrin biggrin biggrin

Chtec-
I do like the icon. smile It is modern, but I guess it wouldn't have the same meaning for today's young people if the man and women were dressed in robes.

I believe this is the second vocations icon to be on 'pilgrimage' within the Metropolia, right?

In all fairness, and all kidding aside, these Internet pictures don't do the icon justice. As I mentioned earlier, I saw the icon reproduction last Sunday, and it has a much more impressive appearance when you see it in person. For example, on the Internet, the border color washes out. Now whether or not anyone likes the style is a matter of personal taste.
