Description:Mary in Iconography , written in stone “Who is Mary?” In my head, I went from the grieving and weeping Mary of the Renaissance, through the mystical distant gaze of Mary in ancient Byzantine iconography, to the understanding that Mary is a place in my heart; she is a revelation, a guide, an example of female wisdom who arouses epiphanies. She is the womb through which Christ entered the world. She nurtures us to grace the world and share our capacity to love. The mother of Jesus called Mary is the most revealed and common image women find in the Christian Church Institution. She offers many deep mystical messages, without ever opening her mouth. I would like to share with the reader a new perspective in relation to our era.Icons Speak: Beginning with MaryI find it ironic that Christian mystics, mostly men, have spoken and expanded the spiritual understanding of God for nearly two thousand years and, in doing so, have controlled and shaped our society. Mary has not spoken, making our understanding of her elusive. Mary is a woman who, by her human act, gave birth to the most transcendent truth which is love. This is by far the very thing the world needs for its healing. The book explores three classic versions of Mary iconography, the Theorokos, Panagia and Hodegetria. They illustrate Mary's journey, receiving what was given, nurturing what she created and releasing her son into the world for our benefit. The idea of yoking these three pro-type images reflects a humanitarian attitude towards Creation: we too nurture what we create, and have the power to release it to the world.Orthodox style icons of the Virgin Mother speak volumes about the eternal communication between the love of a mother and that mystery of love which abides in us all. This collection of Mary icons captures the great mysteries of the Madonna, her beauty as well as her message. The collection covers a wide range of imagination in each image, contemporary versions inspired by their historical origin. Miller’s fascination with the Madonna images evolves within the two realms; tradition and contemporary spirituality, as they merge here in word and visual representation. Classic iconography has influenced this comprehensive collection of 32 images of the Mother of Jesus.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
