Iconography: Sacred Art Of The Christian East

Class | Available

Icons have been an integral part of the Christian faith throughout history, embodying the divine and creating a connection between the physical and spiritual worlds. Through sacred artistry and symbolism, icons are powerful tools of devotion and meditation for the faithful. We will explore the theology of Eastern iconography (in which all Christian sacred art has its roots). Our class will view the icons in person at the Church, as well as digital images of iconography from some of the most beautiful churches across the world, both ancient and modern.

Join us for this presentation by Fr. Paul Fuller at St. Nicholas Orthodox Church (3171 S. 48th Street in Springdale). Following class, participants will enjoy a delicious Mediterranean meal prepared by members of the Church.

  • This program will meet in person at St. Nicholas Orthodox Church, located at 3171 S 48th St, Springdale, AR 72762. Please read your class reminder email for the exact room location.

    Class changes occasionally happen; please watch for (and read) announcements or emails from OLLI regarding your class.
