The authors describe the history of two images of St. Adalbert created in the technique and canon of writing Orthodox icons. Atanas Kameshev, a Bulgarian Orthodox iconographer, created both images. The first of them, asso ciated with the Gniezno Synods-Reunions tradition, which began in 2000, was hung in the local cathedral. The second, made several years later on the Mayor of Gniezno’s request, was to be presented to Pope John Paul II. It eventually found a home on the altar of Rome’s San Bartolomeo church.
