SACRED ART
March 13, 2008 - June 8, 2008
Sacred Art/Religious Objects is an exhibition of icons, manuscripts, liturgical vestments and sacred objects of the Greek Orthodox tradition. The artistic and aesthetic qualities of selected ecclesiastical items demonstrate Greek history through the symbolism, styles and approaches that developed in specific



periods and locations. Richly embroidered vestments, beautifully rendered icons and manuscripts, and ornate ritual objects reveal the inspiration of the artisans that created them and reflect their extraordinary interpretations of traditional techniques. - peter, 02/12/2008
