It is an education process for me as I learn about the psychology of spiritual apostasy. And others get the benefit of perhaps hearing righteousness for the first time.

I saw an 18th century version of that icon at the Tretyakov gallery, complete with the assembly of heretics on the shore. I wish I could find a picture online of it.
