Icon Retreat
Register by October 9 for an opportunity to learn how to create your own icon of St. Mark. At a retreat to be held in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, February 16–19, 2024, parish iconographers Tracy Councill and Cher Stepanek will teach you how to “write” an icon of St. Mark. (An icon is a painting of a holy figure, typically in a traditional style on wood, used as an aid to devotion.) A finished St. Mark icon and the sketch we will use can be seen here (along with work by Tracy and Cher).
The cost of the retreat is $250 (supplies and accommodation). To join, please register by October 9, 2023, and pay a $20 refundable deposit. (This gives us time to order the boards from a Ukrainian monastery.)
