I recall reading of the courage of St Luke the Blessed Surgeon. The communists removed the icon of the Mother of God from his operating theatre, so he stopped operations. When the wife of a party official needed an operation, St Luke refused unless the icon was replaced - which it was! I have icons in my office at the university where I teach - I'm expecting the day when they tell me I ought to take them down.
