Women’s Ministry Advent Event

Advent Retreat

Praying with a Brush

Saturday, December 13

at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Durham, North Carolina 

World-renowned iconographer, Marek Czarnecki, will lead an Advent retreat on writing and praying icons.  The day includes a presentation by Marek on the development of icons, specifically about icons of Mary, the Theotokos. 

Participants will be led through a hands-on practice of writing an icon.  Using a Marian icon, connected with St. Luke, you will use ink and brush to retrace the drawings inside the icon as you pray the Jesus Prayer. 

It will be a prayer-filled day focused on the seasonality of our faith as we prepare for the birth of Jesus.  You will enjoy the camaraderie of other pilgrims as you learn about iconography, share a meal, and write your own icon to observe this holy season.
