Bibliography
"The face reflects the inner man, the soul. In the case of a saint it is a sanctified face, hence it should be beautiful. "We should make the faces of the icons attractive, so that the onlooker is able to pray. The icons should be like a trampoline towards eternal life." Elder Sophrony in p. 179
