NEW BOOK: ‘FESTAL ICONS: HISTORY AND MEANING’

This long-awaited book on the icons of the fourteen major feasts of the Orthodox Church is the most comprehensive work on the subject in the English language. Richly illustrated, it first describes how each feast developed over time, then maps how their icons evolved from the early centuries, and finishes with a detailed examination of each festal icon’s most recognizable form. This story encompasses not only panel icons, but also frescos, mosaic, metalwork, embroidery and reliefs carved in stone, ivory and wood. 456 pages, 320 colour illustrations.

Liturgical Beauty: Luxury or Necessity?

At the request of the pilgrims, this talk given to pilgrims at St Catherine’s Sinai was repeated for recording. It speaks of how the icon tradition helps open our eyes to God’s beauty revealed through creation, and how we are all called to be mediators as prophets, priests and sacred artists.

 

ICONS IN THE MODERN WORLD: A new way of seeing

A talk given by Zoom for the Russian Museum of Icons, Clinton, Massachusetts, 5 March, 2022. Individuals and cultures live on this earth according to how they see the world; actions naturally follow upon vision. Follow the footprints of destructive actions and they will lead you to the human heart and its distorted vision of what it thinks the world should be like. Follow the actions of a saint on the other hand, and they will lead you to a heart full of the sort of things we see in icons.
