Using the unique collection of the Glencairn Museum this tour will explore the
relationship between Byzantine Icons and sacred images depicted in stained
glass windows. Are icons, as devotional objects, relegated to panel painting only
or do stained glass panels, when painted in the Byzantine icon style, also function in that role? We will discuss the meaning of iconography and iconoclasm and
discover how sacred images have incited emotions across time. A demonstration
of glass painting techniques will round out the day.
