Description
Join us for a unique visit, exploring the religious significance of the art, physical layout, and spirituality of Orthodox and Byzantine Catholic church buildings. Included are the connection to the Temple in Jerusalem; theological interpretations; unpacking the meaning of traditional icons; historic items from Eastern Europe; and how Byzantine art can influence one’s own spirituality. The tour includes explanations of how it is all used, with time for questions.
