The Icon of St. John the Evangelist
An icon (from the Greek eikon - an image or resemblance) is a religious work of art. They are not simply artwork; rather an icon is a sacred image used in religious devotion.
The most common subjects of an icon include Christ, Mary, saints, especially associated with portrait-style images with a concentration on one or two main figures, including narrative scenes, from script or the lives of saints.
Icons are most commonly painted on wood panels. In the Greek language, the term for icon painting uses the same word as for “writing”. So the Greek is translated as “icon writing”. Just as the scriptures are inspired writing, an icon is also inspiredly written.
The icon of St. John the Evangelist, that was commissioned for the celebration of our centennial, was “written” by Kara Gillette. Kara has been writing icons for several years.
We are blessed to have this inspired icon of St. John to hang in our church.
