Each year, we search for an inspirational image to help us honor the Holy Season of Lent. Over the past few years, since the pandemic and the War in Ukraine, Saint Miriam has set aside funds to help bolster artists in Ukraine who have been greatly impacted by the terror of war. Our last acquisition, “Resurrection of Christ” by Ulyana Tomkevyc, hangs proudly in the Main Corridor outside of our beautiful sanctuary.
This year, we are pleased to welcome a new piece, from ICONART in Lviv, Ukraine,
Through Christ,
With Christ,
and In Christ
by artist Kateryna Haneychuk! This stunning piece will be our central focus this coming Lenten Season and is made from acrylic on glass media.
The ICONART Gallery, located in the historic heart of Lviv, in the old Armenian quarter of Lviv, Ukraine, is committed to promoting, collecting, and offering the very best in contemporary sacred art. Traditional sacred themes and folk-art motifs combine in pieces with unusual color palettes and modern designs that inspire the heart and delight the eye. Our thanks to Marianna Baran at ICONART for her kind assistance in our acquisition again this year!
We pray for the people of Ukraine.
We invite you to experience Lent with us this year.
