Loyola University Chicago is excited to receive an icon from the renowned iconographer Fr. Bill McNichols. Fr. Bill has ¿written¿ an icon for Loyola University called The New Pentecost of Viriditas. *A true Icon is said to appear, like an apparition. My prayer and goal as I paint (write) the Icon is to give the entire community of Loyola and Chicago, something filled with a theology of what we now call Greening or being careful, loving and wise stewards of God's Holy Creation,* said Fr. McNichols.
The Latin term ¿Viridatas¿ means ¿greening,¿ and the icon invites us to contemplate our spiritual vocation to give witness to environmental sustainability. Join us for Fr. McNichols' lecture to learn about ancient form of art and its influence in modern times.
