Today, the first Sunday after Pentecost, is the Synaxis of All Saints. Originally, today was meant to commemorate all martyred saints, known and unknown, but in the 9th Century, Byzantine Emperor Leo VI the Wise, in order to honour his pious wife the Holy Empress Theophano, he built a church intending to dedicate it to her while she was still alive. She forbade him to do so, and he decreed that the Sunday after Pentecost be changed to include all saints, martyrs, apostles, hierarchs, prophets and all righteous people who ever lived. He did this knowing that when this day would be celebrated, his Empress' memory would be commemorated along with all the saints in heaven. May the choir of all of Christ's Saints intercede for us + #saint #saints #allsaints #allhallows #martyrs #prophets #apostles #righteous #emperor #empress #byzantine #pious #holy #orthodox https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce9doSfPRIZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

All Hallows is here, I’ve a stack season appropriate films, and if I may say, this turned out far better then I anticipated. The world’s on fire, but may everyone find a moment of Halloween comfort today in whatever way you see fit. Happy Halloween ladies and gents 🎃 . . . . .#bascombsbeastiary #halloween #happyhalloween #horror #creepy #pumpkin #jackolantern #darkart #raven #crow #ghost #samhain #pumpkinhead #scarecrow #allhallows #allhallowseve #art #artistsoninstagram #drawing #creaturedesign #chracterdesign #procreate #digitalpainting #painting #spooky https://www.instagram.com/p/CHBoq9pD2A5/?igshid=1x53oezkttd7a

We all hit artist blocks on occasion. Times when we become so crippled by the idea in our head means we can’t move forward or backward, and anxiety creeps in and makes it all so much worse. I’ve been so lucky with amazing patient customers when this happens, and so excited to finally ship this piece out in its full spooky glory. #halloween #allhallows #fatherdaughter #trickortreat #chistudiosillustration #chibi #chibis https://www.instagram.com/p/CG8KjaphZb8/?igshid=n1zh099pd6pt
