b'#28 - PAINTED ICON OF THE VIRGIN MARY The icon of Mary, Mother of Jesus, was painted by Pastor Jennifer Mattson during a spiritual retreat. Praying with icons is an ancient prayer practice that involves keeping our eyes wide open, taking into our heart what the image visually communicates. We focus not on what is seen in the icon, but rather on what is seen through it the love of God expressed through God\'s creatures.Religious icons are commonly referred to as "windows to heaven" or "windows to the eternal". While painting this icon, Pastor Jennifer centered on the words of the Magnificat. I WANT _____ TICKETS 58'
