Fr. George Calciu: Angels are in twos

In ancient icons they represented the devils as single - one, but the angels in twos. It has very deep significance, because the devil was alone, but the angels were in twos. They were not alone; everyone was with someone else. After Pitesti,¹ I understood the iconography of the ancient icons, because we were put in this diabolical situation when we trusted no one, love no one, were not in connection with anyone - we were absolutely alone. No cornerstone. No indication - we did not know where we were going. At this, the spiritual terror was complete.

¹ Pitesti was an experimental Communist prison in Romania, intended to destroy the personality and remake people into "ideal Communists"
