Description

Separated from its origins in the Old World, Eastern Christian iconography in Canada has come to enjoy a popular following from coast to coast. The present volume documents this living tradition from a variety of perspectives to offer the first national survey of its kind. Here folklorists join with art historians, anthropologists, a scientist, a theologian, enthusiasts and iconographers to underscore the richness of a phenomenon that continues to captivate large segments of the country's population.
