It was a lovely week in York Beach last week, when seven iconographers gathered in the home of Barbara Boschert, to pray and write icons based on the ceiling mosaic of the cathedral in Cefalu, Sicily.
Iconographers, from left to right: Maryanne Lindquist, Barbara LaSalle, the Rev. Kit Wang, Karen Gilroy, the Rev. Bette Pollock (working on her crossword puzzle) and our hostess,
Barbara Boschert.
We followed the tradition of tracing the template of the icon onto our boards.
...and worked (and prayed) in artist-grade acrilic guash.
And this Sunday we blessed the icons by praying over them and by having them at the altar during the Holy Eucharist.
Thank you, great iconographers, for a wonderful week. It was an honor to walk this journey with you.
