Writing Icons

The Holy Family by Sr. Magnificat

“When I get up in the night . . . I sing and I paint. Sometimes I go out to look at the stars and the moon. So I sing. I come back here maybe at 2:00 during the night. Then I start painting . . . . It is a prayer for me to paint.” —Sr. Magnificat

For a delightful glimpse into the work of a modern-day icon painter, or icon writer as they are properly called, see here .
