From
Sister Wendy Beckett
In Quest of the Ancient Icons of Mary
In
this story of discovery and spiritual adventure, Sister Wendy Beckett, a
contemplative nun and beloved art commentator, travels from Engand, to Rome, to
Ukraine, and finally to a remote monastery in Sinai, to view the earliest icons
of Mary. These are among the few that survived the wholesale destruction of
icons in the early eighth century. In contrast with the familiar and
magnificent icons of later history, these early icons have a haunting
simplicity and unfamiliar spiritual power. They come to us from a time closer
to that of Christ, when faith was still alive with wonder, and possibilities
were infinite. 65 color illustrations. Hardcover, 140 pages
