It has interesting articles and useful information for both established iconographers and for those just starting out. UK members will have a printed copy of the Review posted to them, while overseas members can opt to either have the printed Review posted or an e-mailed version.

Message from the Editor
Dear Friends,
May I wish you peace and joy in 2022 – and that you keep well. In Nature, Winter is a time of resting and building up strength for the Spring. So as you stay safe and warm at home, may I encourage you to look at the BAI Icon Exhibition 2021/2 ONLINE, called ‘Icons emerging from Lockdown’, which will continue to be visible on-line throughout 2022. 
I have asked some Exhibition contributors if they would like to write a short article about what inspired their icon – The Holy Family, Annunciation, Nativity, St Joseph, Mary and Infant Jesus, Three Kings, Mother of God of Compassion. I hope that you find these encouraging. Other articles would be very welcome for the next Review. Please feel free to send them to me.
There is a Meditation on the Annunciation(pg 18) and also one on Anna (pg 10) They could be used together with the appropriate icon. Perhaps you may be inspired to ‘write’ your own icon this year. If you have Meditations that you have found helpful, do send them, so that others may be helped in praying with Icons.
May I urge you to regularly check the website for courses – there are some new ones planned for the coming year. Also, if you know of Icon courses that are not on our website, do send information to our Webmaster (see pg2)
I hope you find something of interest within this Review. Wishing you a blessed year and a Holy Lent.
Ann (Braithwaite) Editor of BAI Review (Volunteer)
