Emmanuel: An Icon Writing Class 
December 10-12, 2026 | The Cathedral of All Saints, Albany

During Advent, we often set our attention on the coming of the Baby Jesus in the manger, but Advent also invites us to remember Christ as the Lord of History, who will return to bring everything to completion. He is BOTH Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. In December, we will paint an image of Jesus as Lord of History, using an icon by Tamara Penwell as our prototype. Her icons are both traditional and contemporary; her colors are exquisite. Join us for a weekend of prayerful painting and community under the guidance of Peter Pearson, who has been painting icons for over 55 years and teaching for over 30 years.

No prior experience or natural talent is required, just the willingness to begin and to pray with a brush.
