Title: Apt Title for this little book
Review: As I am wont to do, I came upon this book by way of a trek through books about Middle Eastern Chrisianity. This concise little book (169 pages) gives a detailed tour of Icons and their meanings. Ms. Mathewes-Green also includes illustrations of the most frequently seen icons which truly helps the reader.The author takes the reader on a tour of several holidays in the Orthodox church and explains the rituals and the importance of the Icons to these holidays.I highly recommend this book to anyone who has become interested in Icons. This would include members of other denominations. I recently read that a link has been established between early Orthodox Icons and the illuminations found in early British and Celtic religious books. We never really know where our reading will lead us.Enjoy
