Each icon is reproduced in full color.A substantial introduction places the icon in its context in Eastern Christianity, looks at the theology of icons and then at the Eastern approach to praying with icons. Special emphasis is given to The Jesus Prayer which is then used in various forms throughout the meditations which follow.Gregory Collins, OSB, is a monk of Glenstal Abbey, Ireland.
