Greek Orthodox Icons at Getty

There's an incredible new exhibit at the Getty, now till March, featuring some of the rarest and oldest Byzantine icons and manuscripts direct from St. Catherine's monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai. The Getty's "Holy Image, Hallowed Ground" page, brings you up close and personal with several flash interactive icons and audio. The web page alone is worth a visit. But if you're around or going to be around the Los Angeles area, check out the exhibit.

Hopefully, I'll be visiting the exhibit before Christmas. Look here in the future for a review of the experience.
