DOWNLOAD EBOOK"In the Cathedral Church of Mary of the Assumption in Tbilisi, Georgia, in Eastern Europe, "the Word of Life" is proclaimed in the Liturgy, and also told through one hundred and thirty icons of scenes from the Bible, elegantly arranged along the Cathedral's side walls. For the faithful, these icons uncover the thread of love that can draw them to enter, through prayer, into contemplation of the image of the invisible God." "Thirty of these icons, which tell the story of the life of Jesus, are reproduced in this book together with the relevant biblical texts and a commentary written especially for the English language edition by Francis J. Moloney, SDB. Carefully chosen extracts from early Church Fathers shed further light on each of the events portrayed in the icons."--BOOK JACKET.
