“Icon” refers to the Greek word for images of the invisible God. Icons reached their definitive forms in the 9th Century. The goal of the icon is to carry us beyond the material of which an icon is made. Icons are visual theology written in images. Learn about Icons and how to pray with them. The presentation will include other information about ‘writing’ icons and a time of individual prayer with a variety of icons.

Sister Marlys Jax will lead this presentation. She serves as program director of the Assisi Heights Spirituality Center. She has written three icons under the direction of Sister Clairvaux McFarland, OSF, Iconographer.
