The appraisal of Icons Retreats


The experience of transection from confusion to peace can be witnessed only with the presence of Icons retreats. Just 10- 15 minutes of prayer build up your connection with God and you get equipped to deal with the prevailing negative elements with positive attitude. The person realizes that he/she is a soul and all materialistic pleasures. Usually an egg tempera icon for a crucified Christ takes 30 hours to draw so immense patience is dawn upon the artist. This experience of patience guides him to surrender to supreme power.


The violence and impatience at public places and offices show that all of us are desperately in need of God’s love. The presence of icons is extremely important for those who are not able to attend churches due to their hectic schedule. It is a way to experience blessings of god anywhere from your comfort level. The media deserves the credit for bringing back the old culture of Icon retreats in the life of gadget addicted generation. Due to their awareness move; many orthodox, Protestants and Catholics are painting the icons. These icons encourage us to be humble with poor and needy as Christ came on this earth to bring the message of salvation to the poor and the dying.
