About this ebook
Separated from its origins in the Old World, east Christian iconography in Canada has come to enjoy a popular following from coast to coast. With its fourteen chapters the present volume documents this living tradition from a variety of perspectives to offer the first national survey of its kind. Here, for the first time, folklorists join with art historians, anthropologists, a scientist, a theologian, enthusiasts, and iconographers to underscore the richness of a phenomenon that continues to captivate large segments of the country’s population.
