When the Homily is about Immunology

Free DVD

Father Christopher clued us in to this cool freebie:

The Getty Museum is having the special exhibit of Iconography called "Holy Image, Hallowed Ground." In celebration of the opening of the exhibit they are offering a copy of a free 25min DVD about the Icons from Sinai. Sign up HERE.

I'm not terribly fond of our precious icons being perceived as museum pieces, because too often I think people viewing such exhibits may see these Holy Images as things of the past or at best things reserved for obscure and distant monasteries - perhaps not realizing that these "heavenly windows" exist and are used everyday by individual Orthodox Christians and by Orthodox communities just down the road.

None-the-less...many of us will never get a chance to go to Sinai.
