Russian Icon Tour
Fr. Ilya Gotlinsky invites you to join him on a comprehensive study tour of Russian Sacred Art:
“Russian Icon”
July 22nd — August 11th, 2007
The “Russian Icon” tour is the first comprehensive study tour that along with all of the major collections of Russian Icons will include many generally overlooked, less famous, but yet very important monuments and collections of Russian Medieval Sacred Art. The itinerary for the current tour is fully and personally prepared by Fr. Ilya Gotlinsky. The itinerary includes visits to Moscow, most cities of the Golden Ring, Vologda, Ferapontovo, St. Petersburg, Staraya Ladoga, Novgorod and Pskov. Travelers will get a real in depth course not only on the History of Russian Sacred Art and Architecture, but also on the History of the Russian Orthodox Church and the Russian State. Another benefit of this trip is the fact that we will work directly with museum staff and clergy along the way. We have a longstanding and personal friendship wiith many of them that enables us to see and to do much more than you would with a tour prepared by any travel agency.
The tour cost based on 25 participants is $3,800*, including airfare, or $2,900* for land only. The cost of the trip includes accommodations at three star hotels, transportation, tours, entry fees, and most meals. Tour details and itinerary are available for download.
The sign-up deadline is March 15, 2007.
