Before we enter the beautiful Month of Mary in May, you are invited to a special experience that blends art, prayer, and reflection. Join us for three evenings of Iconography, Painting, and Prayer as we learn to paint an icon of the Blessed Mother while entering into the spiritual tradition of icon painting (writing) — a practice long understood in the Church as a form of prayer.
These sessions will guide participants step-by-step through the icon painting process while reflecting on the deeper meaning of sacred images in our faith.
✨ This could also make a meaningful Mother’s Day gift for a mother, daughter, or friend.

In the tradition of the Church, painting an icon is not simply creating art — it is a form of prayer. As one writer beautifully explains, icons are meant to shine God’s light for others, reminding us that faith is something we share with the world.
