The hand at the Monestary of St. Irene in Astoria, NY is the hand of St. Irene Chrysovalantou, not the St. Irene discussed for the majority of this article. Changed the information to reflect that along with adding a link to the OrthodoxWiki article that discuses St. Irene Chrysovalantou. 01 August 2007. Nikebball87 03:20, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
