Icons Piercing Space and Time

“Like the Incarnation, the icon pierces space and time, because a physical object—a piece of wood with gesso and paint and gold leaf—is shot through with God’s eternal presence.”

This from the highly recommended post here, by Susan Cushman.

    Also of note is “The Icon that Wasn’t,” about our own dear Grigorenko in Dallas.

    Christ is born! Hope y’all are having a wonderful festal period in Tejas!

    Hi Reader David – I saw that article and am so glad Vladimir refused Time magazine. The eventual article at Time turns out to be an interesting read as well.
