Lovely ikon, Dymphna, thank you! As best as I can make out, the inscription reads: Skorbiashcha Bozhiya Mater, which I think means roughly Most Sorrowful Mother of God. I'm guessing it's Old Slavonic or Bulgarian.
If the priest is a saint, his people will be holy. If the priest is holy, his people will be good. If the priest is good, his people will be fair. If the priest is fair, his people will be mediocre. If the priest is mediocre, his people will be bad. : -Anon.
