The new exhibition showcases twenty-four icons

in the Museum of Russian Icons collection that

illustrate the unique and iconoclastic journeys of

ordinary people to religious sanctity. The exhibition

emphasizes the wide-ranging paths to sainthood

and the diverse backgrounds of the saints portrayed.

As many of the saints in the exhibition are female,

it also explores the role of women in the early

Orthodox Church. Runs through Sept. 10 2011.
