Icons & Iconography

Have you ever wondered about icons? What is the tradition behind them? Why are they “written” and not “painted”? What materials are used to create them? What are some of the techniques and spiritual disciplines involved? Father Damian Higgins (Ukrainian Rite) is the abbot of Holy Transfiguration Monastery in Redwood Valley, California. He has created icons and led workshops for many years, including here at the Rock Hill Oratory. In a live on-line session, he will answer those questions and show us some work in progress.
