As a representation of holy figures and events, icons are not simply artwork but images that convey God’s story connecting us to the mystery of the incarnation. In this presentation, we will discuss the symbolic language of iconography and look at the history, origin, features, and intended spiritual purposes of icons in the Church. We will discuss how icons can help deepen our faith by pointing us to the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Coffee and Breakfast are served at 9:00 am.
The program begins at 9:30 am followed by lunch and ends with Mass at 1:00 pm.
Cost: $18 per person
