Unusual Icons of Orthodoxy — iconography of the Holy Mount Athos

We invite you to a meeting dedicated to the icons of the Holy Mount Athos - paintings that are not just works of art, but windows leading to the invisible. In the silence of the monastery studios, in the rhythm of prayer and fasting, icons are created that carry the light, the depth of theology and the experience of generations of monks. During our lecture we will look at what secrets they hide and why they have inspired believers and art lovers alike for centuries. It is an invitation to travel deep into a tradition that has continued uninterruptedly for more than a thousand years.
