This is a walk-through of the contents of the highly sought after "Russian Icons" book by Vladimir Ivanov, published 1988. My copy of this book is in Italian; however, this is a very valuable resource and the pictures are worth looking at! If you would like to use any portion of this video, please email me first!
*At time stamp 5:59, I meant to say 10th-12th century. Thank you.

Hey Friends and Family! It has been a while since I've posted any videos and updated anything here on KZfaq. For those of you interested in the PDF, here is the link for you to view it: drive.google.com/file/d/1ML8--gRVrH1l-8ngIB7Hd-IeDZWS4Tgs/view?usp=sharing. Just as a reminder, the translation of my book is in Italian; however, the pictures are normally what everyone is curious about. Please let me know if you all have any questions, or would like to use part of my video. Take care and may God Bless!

@@randomyoutuber6992 Hey, thanks for your comment! This book is extremely rare and quite difficult to find. By God's grace, I was able to find the Italian version on Ebay, and snatched it up. At that time, the seller had two other copies of the book, but now they have been sold. The book is over $1,000 at this point. While I do not mind paying for knowledge or for something that is extremely rare, I do believe that the hidden knowledge should be affordable or free to the public. So, last week, I had a pdf of the entire book made and provided the link on KZfaq. In regard to your query about the book having lighter images, that is part of the point that I made in the video. The book shows the icons (paintings) from approximately 1100 AD to 1800 AD. You notice that in the front of the book and the first few chapters, the paintings are very dark, but as time progresses through the Renaissance period (1600 - 1700 AD) and through the Enlightenment period (1800s), the paintings were whitewashed. If you watch the end of my video and look at the last few pages of the PDF, you will see where one of the Russian painters made a whitewashed copy of the original dark painting. I hope this clears it up for you. God Bless!

I just happened to do a search for something like this today and I came across this video and thought I'd have to wait a while til you got to work on the pdf - only to find that it's an old video and the pdf was already available. Thank you so much for your time and effort. Not sure how you managed to produce such a high quality pdf version of the book for less than 40MB. I'm amazed. I hope you're also collecting old books, especially pre-1920, including Bible dictionaries and encyclopedia, as they too prove that the original Israelites were "black." At some point all this info will be off the net, sadly for future generations. Thanks again. May the Most High bless you and your family abundantly

Egg tempura (the ink used in writing iconography) darkens with age, that is why most colors in icons look dark. Christ was not a white Aryan man, no. He was instead of olive complexion (like Arabic peoples and Greeks, for example), being from the Levant area. That is how He has always been written in iconography in Oriental and Eastern Orthodoxy since the 1st century, the oldest Christian Faiths (were one Church for 400 years but even apart maintained similar traditions and ways). Christ is always written as well with dark long braided hair and dark brown eyes, and beard as that is true to reality. Instead, to not depict Him in this way is distortion.

Yes. Since I had a near death experience at the age of 5, I spent time in heaven with Jesus. The first thing I noticed was how dark his skin was. Because he had a light all around him, I thought he had a real bad sun burn. I then had another near death exchange again shortly after the first one. Again, I noticed how dark his skin was. I remember comparing the color of his hand against mine. I'm white and at the age of 5, I had never met a black man. I kept looking from his hand to mine, and noticed the darker skin. I was surprised, but I thought the color of his skin was nice, and I told him I liked the color. He told me his face was the same color. I looked up and into the face of Jesus, who had dark skin(NOT WHITE)and black hair( NOT LIGHT BROWN).

Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. Your comment was pretty much the purpose of the video: to show that prior to the Renaissance and Enlightenment eras, the paintings of the people in the Bible were much darker than the paintings we see after the 1600s. As such, the original people of the Bible were dark-skinned.

They aren't white washed or edited. That is actual Orthodox Christian iconography. I would know, being Orthodox Christian myself and very familiar with iconography, the ink used to write icons, and how it ages. Egg tempura darkens with age. My old Parish's iconography darkened in just 30 years after being written.

These are European figures. The paint just changed colour I know this because am an artist and a black man. Look at the features of the people in the paintings. Straight nose and hair. Christianity has nothing in common with African spirituality. It was Ethiopians who was trading with Europeans that accepted Christianity and brought in into Ethiopia, and interpret the European bible stories into Ethiopian figures but it never represented the kemetic systems of nature and the Devine. We are all our own saviours and Europeans wants to give us a saviour outside ourselves. But we are too mentally lazy to believe in ourselves and our inner powers. So we gladly accept Christianity

Actually, Ethiopia is one of the original first countries of Christianity meaning before the New Testament was written in the 1st century, much less before the Bible was compiled in the 6th century in the East, and way before the West's KJV was translated and written. They got Christianity straight from the middle East, no Europeans. I'm an Orthodox Christian myself and the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo church and us used to be one Church before AD 451. That means we were one Church for 4 hundred years. We may yet be one again soon. So no, it wasn't white Europeans who introduced them to Christianity as that would mean Protestants introduced them to Christianity (they have only existed since the 16th century) but Ethiopian Orthodoxy had existed already for 1500+ years! The only thing you are correct on is that egg tempura (the ink paint used in iconography) darkens with age. The original pigment of skin was olive complexion. That is Byzantine style iconography, fyi. It comes from the early first millennium.
