Description:
Author: Constantine Cavarnos
ISBN: 094340505X
Publisher: The Institute for Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies, Massachusetts, 1993
Size: 150 x 230 mm (6 x 9 in.) 245 pages, 74 illustrations. Paperback.

Detailed explanation of the distinctive characteristics of Byzantine iconography, of the traditional pattern of decorating Eastern Orthodox churches with panel icons, wall paintings, and mosaics, and of the chief Doctrinal, Liturgical, and Festal icons; together with a concise systematic exposition of Saint John Damascene's defense of holy icons.

The blessed iconographer Photios Kontoglou used to say that the holy icons are full of the light of Christ, and the Orthodox Christian who gazes upon them and venerates them with faith and simplicity of heart is filled with this blessed light.
