Margarita Mooney Clayton talks with renowned iconographer Jonathan Pageau about sacred art's ability to mediate the transcendental to us and connect us to God. Images of Mary, the mother of Jesus, abound in nearly every Christian culture. How is it that one woman has been so influential in the spiritual experience of so many people, the formation of the church, and the memory of nations?

Pageau will further explore the symbolic meanings of Scripture at his keynote address at Scala’s April 2122, 2023, conference in Princeton, NJ.
