I wanted an icon with the words in Arbëresh, the Albanian dialect of Sicily, but none seems to exist: at the icon shop down from the cathedral in Piana degli Albanesi (Hora e Arbëreshëvet) I could find only Greek. So I bought a
picture of an icon of King ("the Prophet") David, with a verse which, for reasons I needn’t ramble on about now, has spiritual significance for me. I was surprised to notice that in “The Prophet David”, the middle letter of David is V, not beta (B) as I would have expected. All the rest is in Greek characters. I should appreciate your comment or explanation on this.
I would upload a picture of the icon, but every time I try to upload a picture I get the message that the upload folder is full, even though I ensure my attachments are always smaller than the permitted size. No-one ever tells me how to do it in their replies!
