Modes and Cases for Holistic Approaches to Preservation and Protection in the Current World Order
Through a series of educational panels featuring leading scholars and clergy, this program aims to deepen public understanding of the spiritual and cultural significance of Byzantine icons. Throughout 2026, these discussions will illuminate the Orthodox tradition’s contributions to sacred art and foster appreciation for its historical and theological context.
This lecture is the third of a series that is part of the icon exhibition, Revealing the Hidden: Byzantine Icons from Thessaloniki and Patmos, that will bring extraordinary icons to the museum from November 2026 through February 2027, from two holy, stavropegial monasteries of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, Vlatadon Monastery in Thessaloniki and the Monastery of St. John the Theologian on Patmos. This exhibition celebrates the 35th anniversary of the enthronement of His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I.
Light refreshments will be served at this event.
