A Message from the Editor
Dear Friends,
In this Summer season may we give thanks to God for all the Blessings we receive – and for the joy and comfort that Icons provide.
Articles and Icons of the Transfiguration and The Dormition of the Mother of God are in this issue. The Zhirovichi icon was unknown to me and I found it fascinating.
Icons from the BAI online Exhibition – together with some thoughts from the ‘writers’ are included. This may give you inspiration for prayer and for you to plan writing such icons.
For Prayer there is a Morning Rite and Sr Esther’s Meditation on Euphrosynus.
Further Pathways into Prayer are can be viewed at:
www.canterbury-cathedral.org/pathways-into-prayer/
Canterbury Cathedral (CoE) also has an icon in the Prayer Station . It is an icon of Jesus washing Peter’s feet. More …
Are there any Icon events coming up in the next year – Exhibitions, Worship, Course etc.? Do please let me know of any that you come across at any time.
I hope that you find something of interest in the articles within this Review and that you may feel encouraged to contribute something for others to enjoy and to learn from.
Wishing you a blessed and creative time.
