In the newest exhibit at St. Faith's, on display now through Holy Week, Alina shares a series of twelve commissioned icons for the twelve major feasts of the Orthodox calendar. In this presentation you are invited to listen in on a conversation between Alina Smolyansky and Kerry Baisley about sacred time and the unique patterns of the Orthodox Church. Participants will also have the opportunity to engage with the icons on exhibit as well as engage with the presenters following the presentation. This is a free event for the whole community. All are welcome.
