Typically, we think about prayer in terms of language — speaking with God. But prayer can happen through visual reflection and contemplation, too. That’s what icons are for — they are images that open windows into heaven. Gazing on these images in prayerful reflection puts us in God’s presence in a unique way.
We’ve gathered seven icons here from artists who are breathing new life into this ancient tradition. Also included is a step-by-step guide to praying with these images, including special prompts to help you observe the icon more closely.
