It has been said what the written word of Scripture is to the ears, icons are to the eyes. Learn a brief history of icons and then spend a weekend with scripture and these "windows to heaven,” which can offer greater "insight" on your spiritual journey." This is a retreat of both lectio divina and visio divina. Time will be given to presentations of a variety of icons, personal and group reflection.
