Longtime FOB Deacon Charles Rohrbacher<\/a><\/strong> in Alaska\u2014a very gifted iconographer\u2014sent me the image above with a note:<\/p>\n

It is the icon of Our Lady, Queen of Peace. I completed late last night. We\u2019ll be praying with it tomorrow at the Cathedral as part of the Day of Prayer and Fasting for Peace in Syria.<\/p>\n
