Icons, like other forms of sacred art, can help us encounter God in visual form. Often scriptural heroes, themes, stories and poetry can take on new meaning by meditating on paintings, stained glass windows, and especially icons.
You can visit the Knights of Columbus museum to view more than 225 icons from the Russian Orthodox tradition. To find out more, go to: http://www.kofcmuseum.org/km/en/exhibits/2013/windows/index.html
