Re: Explanations of Icons
@planter654:
These beliefs are based on the Holy Tradition of the Catholic Church, that we have always upheld to.

We're painting on dry wall.
We just finished life-sized Communion of the Apostles and we did that on the back wall of the sanctuary. Above that is a 12-ft Virgin of the Sign that we did on walltex....

Re: Explanations of Icons
@Patchunky:
You should take some pictures of what you are working on. I'm sure that everyone on this thread would enjoy seeing it.

Re: Explanations of Icons
Yes I would! I've never heard of anyone doing this. Do you go to prayer and refection or have a group prayer before you begin?

Yes, we do have group prayer and individual prayer. We read the Scripture account of the ikon we are about to work on (if there is one) and also do the research into the various line drawings and the meanings of the figures in each line drawing.
We also use a lot of chant music on the CD player as we're working....
