I took the photo of the felt
shoes in Pushkin, Russia, during a Russian festival called Maslanitsa, which
celebrates the beginning of spring, and is observed by eating as many blini
(crepes) as one can hold! Although these traditional felt shoes were too costly
to allow me to shod my own feet with them, they reminded me of the verse in
Isaiah 52:7:
"How
beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who
proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, 'Your God reigns!''
May
there be many beautiful feet proclaiming God's reign in Russia!
