The Island and Saint Aidan: A Guide for Engaging with the Book and Celebrating St. Aidan’s Feast Day
This free guide takes you deeper into The Island and Saint Aidan and gives you unique ways to celebrate St. Aidan’s Feast Day on August 31 with your family, friends, or church. This guide includes a craft activity, an icon study, a “backyard pilgrimage” activity, and a meditation/personal study for “The Prayer of St. Aidan of Lindisfarne.”
What does St. Aidan’s iconography teach us? How does an iconographer even begin to create something holy about someone holy? Read my interview with iconographer, Elina Pelikan, who hosts the Ancient Faith Kids YouTube series, Icon Painting for Kids. This is a great interview to read before or after you do the icon study in the Guide for Engaging with the Book and Celebrating St. Aidan’s Feast Day (above)!
