Skete Gallery

In this gallery is a selection of Sister Petra Clare’s icons: all of the icons featured here have been done on commission. Receiving a commission is a way of service. The church or individual who asks for an icon is looking for the sign of something greater than this life - a deeper understanding of baptism or resurrection or some other mystery, or seeking deeper contact with Christ or a saint. The iconographer must empty him/herself to seek a living contact with the Holy Spirit. An icon is complete when it consists of the prayer of the iconographer, the blessing of the Church and the prayer of the recipient(s).”
