Dear Parish Faithful,
Paschal Meditation - The Seventeenth Day
CHRIST IS RISEN! INDEED HE IS RISEN!
This sounds like a very interesting interview on Luminous Podcast. As many of you know, Krista West has been making my priestly vestments for years now; and she led a lenten retreat in our parish just a few years ago. The recent Holy Week vestments she made for me were particularly beautiful, and I received many comments from many of you saying just that during our recent Holy Week. Sorry I can only wear them for a week! I am sure that her comments on "beauty" will be most insightful, for beauty is a concept and reality that is very essential to Orthodoxy. Our liturgical worship has an aesthetic dimension, so that Truth, Goodness and Beauty are conveyed to us as we worship as a Body

I recently had the honor to be interviewed for the Luminous podcast which is offered by the Institute of Sacred Arts at St Vladimir's Seminary. Dr Peter Bouteneff and I chatted about aesthetics, the place of textiles in sacred art, the interaction of patterns and symbols, and why beauty is so important.
