Over 2,000 years ago God came down to Earth from Heaven to visit His Creation. This much needed His help, as it had chosen all the wrong ways and was in great turmoil. God stayed for several years, left many words of wisdom that were written down. He was much persecuted, though He performed extraordinary miracles and even the miracle of Resurrection, conquering Death. As a farewell gift he left everyone an icon of Himself. Since then people have done various things with the icon:
- Some sold their icon in order to make some money.
- Some did not take care of the icon and lost it.
- Some did not like the icon and painted over it.
- Some let the icon get very dirty, so now you can hardly see it.
- Some put the icon in a big frame and took great care of the frame, but forgot the icon itself.
- Some painted foreign words on the icon and said that it showed their national god.
- Some used the icon as a weapon and starting hitting people over the head with it.
- Some kept the icon and revere it exactly as it is.
