Dr. Jane Rodeheffer will introduce participants to various Icons of Mary and the Christ Child honored during Advent. These Icons are specialized depictions of Mary, and are not intended as realistic portraits, but rather windows linking earthly and heavenly realities. Andrei Rublev, a Russian monk of the fifteenth century, is widely revered for his writing distinctive Russian elements common to Byzantine spirituality. Jane will present how to pray with these Marian Icons as symbols, indeed sacraments of presence, during this holy season of waiting.
Dr. Jane Kelly Rodeheffer is a Fletcher Jones Chair of Great Books Emerita at Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA. She holds degrees from Boston College, Harvard, and Vanderbilt University, where she earned a Ph.D. in Philosophy. Dr. Rodeheffer is a Benedictine Oblate of Saint John’s Abbey in Collegeville, MN.
