拍品专文

Michael Dreksler was a priest and rector of the Riga and Pskov theological seminaries. As a rector of the Riga seminary from 1870, he was also a member of the commission that worked on translating the Orthodox liturgical books into Latvian and Estonian. Later in 1881, he was transferred to the post of rector of the Pskov Theological Seminary. The present icon is most likely a leaving present from his colleagues at the Riga theological seminary.
