JULY 2011

 

In July I have been invited to participate in the Christian Arts Festival on the Mont Saint Michel in France.  This Festival runs from the 21st-25th July 2011.

 

Called ‘13 Centuries between Sky and Sea’ (13 Siècle entre Ciel et Mer) the Festival aims to gather Christian artists together to witness to the link between their craft and their faith. http://festival.mtstmichel.free.fr

The icons selected for this exhibition fell into three main series.  The "Nativity" Icons demonstrated the richness of the interpretation of the birth of Christ by different cultures.  The "Our Lady" icons expressed Mary's role as the Mother of God.  The "Sacramental" icons  invited participation and a response to the Good News.  Each icon emanates in its own way the glad tidings received through a divine encounter with the incarnate Christ.
