Interesting, the form of the rock reminds the hand. In 2009 I had an accident exactly at the same place of my right hand where the spirit is standing on the rock...
I was asked to make a painting of the ICON, actually a copy of the ICON. When I accepted the work I didn't know that creating the cult things to pray is forbidden by Torah, the Old Testament. I took pictures of the Icon and returned home but the beautiful smell in my room and in the garden, it was heaven like, made me leave the window open that day and in the night the camera was stolen with all pictures from my room. I had no opportunity to come back to take pictures to make my painting and the last chance was closed by the accident, I broke my right hand and it prevented my coming to the church and painting. When I was still with my hand in gypsum I happened to be at DvarTorah, reading Torah, the Old Testament, with that law and found out that any cult thing for praying painting is forbidden by one of 10 Testaments. Amazing coincidence, isn't it?
