Fr. Richard Cannuli of Villanova University, a master iconographer, conducted a special week long Icon Workshop at St. Herman of Alaska Orthodox Church in Gradyville PA. This course entailed  over 40 hours of intense study and practicum.
Six students  each completed a hand written icon of St. Michael the Archangel in 15th century Russian-Byzantine style on board,gold leaf with egg tempera paints. It was a spiritual experience beyond compare for parishioners.
