Thanks for the lesson, I just remembered that our old church in Banja Luka is dedicated to the same saint. It's interesting how frescoes from the 19th century are preserved here in St. Petersburg, they were badly damaged after the war. Was there any talk about the myrtočivica icon that was in that church?
