KENAI, Alaska (AP) — A painted icon of Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane that sits behind the altar in a Kenai church is closer to being repaired, months after it was damaged by a 7.1-magnitude earthquake.
The quake struck the Kenai Peninsula Jan. 24, damaging a highway and destroying several homes. It also caused a heavy cross inside Holy Assumption of the Virgin Mary Russian Orthodox church to fall over and tear through the canvas of the icon, The Peninsula Clarion reported.
