Featuring fourteen meditations written by past and present professors at St Vladimir s Orthodox Theological Seminary, and lavishly illustrated with icons, manuscript illuminations, and paintings, the beauty of these pages will redirect the reader s inward eyes to the author of all beauty, who endured the darkness of Holy Week to bring us into the light of Pascha.
