TESTIMONIALS
Rt Rev Fr Lawrence Cross
Holy Trinity-St Nicholas Eastern Catholic Church (Russian Mission), Australia
"When our Russian Catholic Centre at Kew was closed this treasured but damaged banner of St Nicholas and the Mother of God disappeared, but some years later Fr Lawrence discovered it in a Church in Sydney and asked that it be returned to its rightful owners.
It has now been restored by iconographer Natalia Markina virtually to its original beauty, and has now come back to us. Because of its very special composition its restoration has been meticulous and expensive. I would like to invite our congregation and friends to consider contributing towards the expense incurred in its restoration."

"On Sunday 24 November we received and solemnly blessed a new icon banner made for us by the iconographer, Natalia Markina. Natalia has created an exquisite double sided icon banner. On one side there is an Icon of Jesus our Savior and on the other St Leonid Feodorov the first Exarch of our Russian Catholic Church.This very beautiful banner icon matches one that we already possess and which was venerated in our Chapel at Stevenson Street Kew..."

"Hi Natalia, I just received the icon of Agia Anna, after a long wait! The package is intact, everything is fine!
The icon is really very beautiful, much more than on the picture. Thank you so much again for your nice work!
I wish you the best for the future, in your work, of course, and also in your personal life!
It was pleasure to deal with you. "
