Hi Fr Seraphim
Gradually getting through your back catalogue via iTunes.
Thanks for all you’ve taught me about the church I’ve been born into!!
Hello Father Seraphim,
I sure do enjoy your podcasts, your presentation of interesting crannies of history that relate to the Church, the pace, and peace they provide. Thanks for all your efforts putting them together, all of which is surely widely appreciated.
A real fan,
Alan
Just want to let you know how much I love Catholic Under The Hood. I am a Protestant checking out the Catholic Church and I have learned a lot from the information you’ve shared on your podcast. I was wondering if, perhaps, you could do one on the history of icons. St. Luke is considered the first person to paint an icon, and this has always fascinated me. Is there any that’s considered an exact duplicate of one he painted? Anyway, I’ll keep this brief, I know you’re busy. Keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
trworkman
P.S. Please don’t mention my name on your podcast.
There are a couple of icons that claim to have been painted by St. Luke but nothing that we are able to ascertain for certain. The Icon of the Hodegetria is one of the earliest ascribed to Luke.
