Discover the ancient Christian tradition of sacred sight, a spiritual practice of engaging with art to deepen your understanding of the Advent stories found in the Gospel of Luke.
Discover the Advent story in a new light and cultivate a sense of reverence as we prepare our hearts for the joyous celebration of Christ's coming. All adults are welcome to participate in this transformative exploration of faith and art.
