The third in the
series of evenings brought with it, the structure which is
now see as the norm - the warm welcome, the singing of the
Congress Hymn, and the focus on the Icon - taking time to
read, absorb and understand what the icon is actually saying
to us. Elijah and the Raven is perhaps one of the more detailed
Icons on show - there is a great deal to interpret and questions
to be answered.
The main event of the evening was the interpretation through
mime of the 'Road to Emmaus' - a real highlight, demonstrated
powerfully by the girls of the Convent Grammar School - really
bringing this most dramatic story to life in front of our
eyes. The story was then further explained and interpretted
by a memorable talk by Brenda Bannon.
The evening then ended with the Prayers of the Faithful and
singing of the Congress Hymn. |
