From the Hand of Your Servant: Christian Icons in the Arabic World - Legat Verlag - Hardcover

Egypt, Syria and Lebanon are not really associated with Christianity in the minds of most Westerners, but they are the cradle of Jewish, Christian, and Islamic civilization. Even today, Christianity remains a strong religious and cultural influence in the region. One of the most telling characteristics of the Christian church is the Orthodox Christians' reverence for icons. The paintings in this book captivate the eye with their strong colors, dynamism, and vitality and reflect the Oriental love of narration. Floral elements and Arabic inscriptions complement the unusual motifs.Legat-Verlag Staff is the author of 'From the Hand of Your Servant: Christian Icons in the Arabic World - Legat Verlag - Hardcover' with ISBN 9783932942198 and ISBN 3932942191.
