General Announcements

Hand-painted religious icons are on display at Providence Center

Religious icons hand-painted by three Sisters of Providence are on display at the Providence Center at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods.

The icons on display were created by Providence Sisters Marilyn Therese Lipps, Marianne McGriffin and Mary Lou Ruck. The sisters are not trained artists, but they were able to develop their skills through the guidance of other Sisters of Providence.

Icons have been used for centuries, and refer to images of holy subjects painted on wood.

The painting and veneration of icons is an ancient tradition, well-developed by the third century A.D., tested by the iconoclastic controversies of the eighth and ninth centuries, then brought to full flower in the Byzantine age and later in the Orthodox Christian Churches of Eastern Europe.

The artistic tradition was developed to communicate theological truths to the faithful and provide in pictures what sacred Scripture provides in words.

Rich in symbolism and meaning, icons attempt to give us a window into the divine rather than a realistic portrayal of earthly scenes. The icons depict religious symbols that help tell a story. Several layers of paint are used to develop each image.

Prayer cards printed with the icons are available in The Gift Shop at the Providence Center.

The icons are available for viewing from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Monday through Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

The Gift Shop hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday through Friday and from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
