Icon Painting Workshop with Fr. Damian Higgins
St. Mary's University College
November 28 - December 2, 2011

Fr. Damian Higgins (top right), a world-renowned iconographer and priest-monk of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, led an icon painting workshop with 18 students at St. Mary's November 28 - December 2.

The students learned to paint icons in the traditional egg tempera Byzantine style of this beautiful art form. They benefited from the encouragement and skill of Fr. Higgins, whose work appears in cathedrals, churches, retreat centers, convents, monasteries, homes and offices around the world.
