"Let books be your dining table, / And you shall be full of delights. / Let them be your
mattress,/
And you shall sleep restful nights" (St. Ephraim the Syrian).

The Encyclopedia of Eastern Orthodox Christianity (4)

One of the many charming features of  The Encyclopedia of Eastern Orthodox Christianity, on which I have commented previously,



is the extent to which both handsome volumes are illustrated. Many if not most of the illustrations of various icons come from the hand of Eileen McGuckin. You may see many splendid examples of her work here.
