We saw a significant increase in attendance.

We also introduced a booklet that explained each of the icons, based on a suggestion we received from the previous year.

Fr. Cassian Sibley gave a lecture entitled “The Enculturating Power of Orthodox Christianity: Of Icons, Architecture, and Calendars.”

Fr. John Whiteford gave a lecture on the history of Iconoclasm.
