New ikon of Chiune Sugihara 杉原千畝

Newly written ikon of Japanese ‘Righteous among the nations’
Chiune Sugihara 杉原千畝
The verse reads: Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in him.
I just received the link to this ikon from my Serbian brother Bojan. He says it will likely be displayed in the chapel of St. John Chrysostom in Belgrade's Student City. For the story of this ‘righteous among the nations’ uncanonised saint, see 杉原千畝 Chiune Sugihara. Thank you sincerely, Bojan, and to Svetlana, the ikonographer, a sincere thanks.

    Hello! This story is truly amazing. Is it possible to see a photo of this icon where it is currently placed? Also, it is said that it will "likely" be displayed at a specific place in Belgrade-- is this indeed what occured?

    Many thanks to you and everyone who has stood up for the truly righteous and ensured those persons who show selflessness as Mr. Sugihara are memorialized for their deep compassion for humankind.
