Visible Image of the Invisible God: A Guide to Russian and Byzantine Icons
Sunday, November 6, 1:00-3:00pm
Free and free Museum admission (Free First Sunday)

Join Museum docent and author Dennis J. Sardella for the launch of his new book Visible Image of the Invisible God: A Guide to Russian and Byzantine Icons, published by Paraclete Press. This vibrantly illustrated book introduces readers to icons and explores their origin, historical evolution, complex symbolic language, and role in the spiritual and liturgical life of the Eastern Churches, both Orthodox, and Catholic. Those who are knowledgeable about Russian and Byzantine icons, as well as newcomers, will find Visible Image of the Invisible God to be a treasured resource. Light refreshments will be served, and Dennis will give a short talk at 1:30pm.
