YEAR OF THE PRIESTS

This icon (egg tempera and gold leaf on wood panel, 28" x 22") is "based on a
fifteenth century Greek prototype; here Christ is shown in Latin Rite vestments
with a gold pelican over His heart, the ancient symbol of self-sacrifice. The
borders contain a windig grapevine and altar prepared for the celebration of
the liturgy of the Mass; in the borders are smaller icons of Melchizedek and St.
Jean-Baptiste Vianney." Incidentally, it is St. John Vianney whom Pope Benedict
XVI, with the announcement of this special year, has declared the Universal
Patron of Priests.
