Festival of Family Faith
Tuesday, 12th September, is the Feastday of St. Ailbe – patron of our parish and our diocese. On that day, the Icon of the Holy Family, specially created for the World Meeting of Families 2018
will come to Emly Parish Church, for three days
12 – 14th Sept. {A big honour for our parish}.
Parishioners of all ages, from the parishes of the olden diocese of Emly, will come to see it and to pray before it.
This Icon is very large and beautiful. The main section depicts the young adult Jesus, Mary and
Joseph – at home. Two smaller panels show the Wedding at Cana and the Raising of the daughter of Jairus : three gospel Family events.
There will be a Planning Meeting on this Thurs 31st August, in the Parish Hall, at 8.00pm. (End before 9.00pm). If you would wish to help with this unique 3-Day event, please come along.
What’s an Icon?
Icon painting is a tradition within the Orthodox Churches. The subject matter is always persons or events in the Bible, painted in such a way as to invite the viewer to join in what is happening.
This new Icon invites us to sit with the Holy Family at their kitchen table.
