		The birthday child is Russian icon painter Dionisy who, with a team of craftsmen that included two of his sons, painted frescoes in the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin at St. Therapontes' Monastery exactly half a millennium ago.
		Dionisy was said to continue the Rublyov line in art, and also to have started a new one; his influence can be felt in most surviving Russian icons as late as the second half of the 16th century.
		In contrast to Rublyov the monk, Dionisy was a layman, and of fairly noble descent at that.

		In 1482 Dionisy restored the Greek icon of the Virgin Hodegetria in the monastery of the Ascension (Voznesensky) in the Moscow Kremlin after it was damaged by fire.
		An inventory of 1545 compiled by a contemporary of Dionisy records that of these works 87 were by Dionisy, 37 by his sons Vladimir and Feodosy and 20 by their colleague Paisy.

		The work at the Ferapontov was executed by Dionisy in collaboration with his sons and disciples, who continued Dionisiesque tradition after the master's death.

		DIONISY: Yes, in fact the deputy-chairman of the Moscow Patriarchal Department of External Church Relations, Bishop Mark of Yegorevsk, is now in China conferring with the authorities on the practice of Orthodoxy.

		DIONISY: I think one of the most important things for westerners is not only to assist with missionary work in mainland China, but for American, European, and Australian Orthodox sinologists to do missionary work with the Chinese communities in their own countries.

		Because it is not one of the five officially sanctioned religions in China - Buddhism, Taoism, Protestantism, Catholicism and Islam - the Orthodox Church technically cannot train priests or hold services on the mainland, and the younger generation of offspring from Orthodox Christian families are fast losing their faith.
		Father Dionisy Pozdnyaev, director of the Study Group on Orthodox Affairs in China, says Orthodox believers have been in limbo since the mid-1960s.
		Father Dionisy and other Russians are pinning their hopes on the new legal provisions on religious affairs that came into effect on March 1, pointing out that they do not specifically mention the five recognised religions.

		This small monastery contains some of the best surviving examples of painting by the great medieval Russian artist Dionisy; yet despite its historic and artistic significance, the monastery's remote location makes it unlikely that many people - Russians or foreigners - will actually visit its churches.

		Perhaps it might not be too naïve to think that the new church in Pyongyang might actually be a sign of "Orthodoxy's return" in the north.
		In fact, for Father Dionisy the "creation of an Orthodox Committee in 2002" marks the official recognition of Orthodoxy.
		"While Orthodoxy may not be in their family tradition," Father Dionisy said, "all four are well-educated and speak Russian, English and Japanese," adding that "their teachers are happy with their progress and it is possible that they will become priests".

		Visiting Russian Orthodox priest Fr Dionisy Pozdnyayev told Forum 18 News Service that Orthodox believers "have no priest now, no church and nowhere to pray", although he said the authorities were positive about the idea of Chinese Orthodox studying for the priesthood in Russia.
		In the wake of the funeral today (18 December 2003) of the last surviving Orthodox priest in Beijing, it remains unclear when the Orthodox community in the Chinese capital will once again be able to worship freely in its own church.
		You cannot even call them an organised community – they have no priest now, no church and nowhere to pray." But he expressed some optimism over the possibility for Chinese Orthodox men to study for the priesthood in Russian theological institutions.
