Moscow, 26 August 2008 (Interfax):
The pupils of the Krasnodar Inva-Academy art studio will paint icons for iconostases for churches in South Ossetia. Soon, a group of instructors from the workshop will visit Tskhinvali to inspect the iconostases of local churches, to see what shape they are in. Twenty-five of their best pupils will paint icons for them, the newspaper Rossiskaya Gazeta (The Russian Newspaper) reported on Tuesday. The Inva-Academy educates physically-handicapped children. Their works are shown in many exhibitions in Russia and abroad. Besides this, the teachers of the Academy will bring four icons painted by their talented students as gifts to the parishioners of destroyed South Ossetian churches.
