To write an icon is to pray with your hands. It is not art for art’ssake; it is an act of love, a spiritual journey into the mystery of
God made human. — Sr. Faith Riccio, OSB, iconographer
Join us for a sacred Advent Iconography Workshop, where participants will have the rare opportunity to write an icon of the
Archangel Michael. Guided by prayer and tradition, this immersive experience invites you into a deeper meditation on the mystery of
the Incarnation. As hands shape sacred image and heart attends to holy presence, the work of iconography becomes a spiritual practice - enhancing appreciation for the season of Advent and drawing participants into a more intimate connection with God, who enters our world in vulnerable love. Participants in this
experience will write an Archangel Michael icon.
