The Prosopon School of Iconology introduces students to the practice and theory of the ancient Christian art of icon-writing in the Byzantine-Russian tradition. Apprenticeship in this discipline of the hand, mind, and heart can lead beyond technical competence; the method of study promotes the incarnation of the principles of the painting experience into all aspects of one's life. In accordance with the Orthodox Church’s teaching that Icons are the ‘Gospel in light and color’, the Prosopon School welcomes inquiring students from all backgrounds. The School additionally encourages the search for a more profound experience of icons by means of exhibits, lectures, and the publication of the journal Prosopon.

That picture is taken in my grandparent's Roman Catholic church. It's absolutely beautiful and awe-inspiring. I began my journey towards the Byzantine rite before the church was built and I was so stunned and happy when they built the church in the Byzantine style. It is a large parish and it makes me happy that so many Roman Catholics could be exposed to the Eastern Church's beauty.
