Traditions of the East
October 16 - November 29, 2009
Icon of Christ
Inspiration for this exhibition comes from the Apostolic letter of Pope John Paul II, "The light of the East has illumined the universal Church... The Virgin Mary... is an icon of the Church, the symbol and anticipation of humanity transfigured by grace, the model and the unfailing hope for all those who direct their steps towards the heavenly Jerusalem."
The exhibit will feature various icons rendered in the traditional manner of using egg tempura.
