Eighth Day Icons

second_title2Former Caelum et Terra editor Daniel Nichols now works as an iconographer and a leader of iconography workshops. Choose from his gallery, which includes images of the Lord, the Blessed Mother, and various saints; or commission a custom work.

If you were thinking, for instance, of purchasing a statue for a garden shrine, Daniel recommends an icon instead, finished with an outdoor varnish to withstand the weather. It’s an idea I like, and I feel sure that he can arrange it.

Daniel’s colors are sharp, vivid, maybe even a little psychedelic—for traditional icon colors, at any rate. I admire the fresh energy in these images.

Visit him today at Eighth Day Icons.

Dear Reader,

Can I be direct with you?

War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.

First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.

But we can’t do it without readers like you.

Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.


Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
