St. John’s Episcopal Church Women (ECW) is planning a trip to the Museum of Russian Icons in Clinton, Mass. on Saturday October 5th. The trip is not just for ECW members but is open to all.  For information about the museum click here: www.museumofrussianicons.org.

Eastern icons are stylized spiritual paintings with Christian themes. An icon is a window through which we glimpse the beauty of the Christian faith and its heroes. Images are created by an iconographer according to strict standards by the church. Icons have, in most cases, been sanctified and blessed inside the church by a priest.

Those interested ought to plan on leaving the Boston area by 9 a.m. as museum Saturday hours are 11-3. Travel to Clinton by car could take an hour. There is of course a shop and a Russian tea room.

Please contact Jane Struss at 617-491-7970 or janestruss@gmail.com and let her know if you’re planning to go, and also if you need a ride.
