"THE ICONOGRAPHY OF ADVENT: IMAGES OF MARY EAST AND WEST"

DR. JENNIFER AWES FREEMAN
7:30 PM CT, DEC. 9, 2021 via Zoom
Free to attend, please Register below

"Images of the Virgin Mary are so ubiquitous in western culture that it’s often difficult to see them—and indeed Mary herself—afresh. This is perhaps most true during the Advent and Christmas season when she appears on greeting cards, magazine covers, and even postage stamps. This lecture will explore early Christian, medieval, and Byzantine depictions of Mary and will consider some similarities and divergences between Eastern and Western images of the Mother of God, and what we might glean from such a rich and complex theological tradition."

Spring lecture dates to be announced.
