The Past & Future of Coptic Iconography: Panel with St Cyril's Coptic Orthodox Theological College

“Listen to the recording of our online panel, "The Past and Future of Coptic Iconography," where we explored the rich tradition and evolving landscape of Coptic iconography. Three experienced iconographers in the Coptic Orthodox tradition — George Makary, Kirollos Kilada and Fadi Mikhail - reflected on a range of topics, including the diversity of ancient Coptic iconography, the important place of Isaac Fanous in the development of contemporary iconography, and the function of icons in the liturgical life. The panel offered their thoughts on the relationship icons have to Church architecture, liturgy, theology and prayer, pointing the way towards a more comprehensive vision for the role of Coptic iconography in the 21st century.”
