The June 1997 edition of Needle Arts has a design of the Madonna and Child for those skilled in crewel. In her article, Bette Elovitz demonstrates the techniques used.

(pp. 35-37) Bette Elovitz is a teacher who lives in Highland Beach, Florida.

Crux of the News reported in its June 16, 1997 that a procession of 30,000 persons marched through Minsk, Belarus this year. The procession was headed by an icon of Our Lady of Chernobyl. The original had been destroyed in 1996 by security forces.
