Another Brush With GodAnother Brush With God is a useful guide for those who are either studying icons or who wish to create one. The author, Peter Pearson, is an American iconographer, a priest, and a member of the Community of Solitude, an ecumenical monastic community. Take a look at the icon in the chapel and then have a look at this book to understand its symbolic meaning. Pearson s book contains drawings, pictures of icons, some in color, a glossary of terms, and step by step instructions for creating four icons. |
Saints, Signs, and SymbolsSaints, Signs, and Symbols by Hilarie and James Cornwell is a comprehensive guide to symbolism in Christian art and would be a wonderful companion to anyone visiting a museum or studying the windows and art in a church. It contains a wealth of pictures, fascinating information, and history. Many of the better known saints as well as some of their less well known brothers and sisters are described, with their patronage included. Did you know that St. Mungo is the patron of salmon? Or that St. John the Baptist can be invoked for protection from hailstorms? This book will tell you why. Biblical plants, styles of crosses and stars, and all manner of birds and animals are given their symbolic meanings in religious art and iconography. |
CardsIn addition to books, The Vestibule has a fine selection of cards from Watts & Co., London. The cards are embossed with details from liturgical vestments and Altar frontals in the Elizabeth Hoare Collection at Liverpool Cathedral, England. |
