This lavishly illustrated guide to iconography explains through words and pictures the history, meaning, and purpose of Christian icons as well as the traditional methods that religious painters use to create these luminous, spiritually enlivened works of art.

Solrunn Nes, one of Europe's most admired iconographers, illuminates the world of Christian icons, explaining the motifs, gestures, and colors common to these profound symbols of faith. Nes explores in depth a number of famous icons, including those of the Greater Feasts, the Mother of God, and a number of the better-known saints, enriching her discussion with references to Scripture, early Christian writings, and liturgy. She also leads readers through the process and techniques of icon painting, showing each step with photographs, and includes more than fifty of her own original works of art.

Deeply inspiring and utterly unique, The Mystical Language of Icons will inform both those who are familiar with the rich tradition of religious art and those who are not. It also serves as a powerful devotional resource in its own right, one that Christians everywhere can turn to again and again.

Extremely satisfied with my purchase.
Color: yellow
The ‘bag’ size is big enough to fit a LARGE (up to a 10 ounce bar of homemade/ handcut soap) bar or many tiny pieces. I am tired of using body wash (full of harmful chemicals) & a ‘pouf’ that may not be getting fully clean after throwing it in the washing machine periodically. The fabric quality is organic, natural & PREMIUM! It has little loops on the fabric which are great for lightly exfoliating & cleaning the skin, has a bead to keep opening closed and the string is long enough to fit around your wrist to hold it easily while bathing or showering. As far as effectiveness, it gets very bubbly if you get the fabric wet 1st & then make some traction (rub the wet bag back & forth onto the wet soap bar) between soap and the bag. For washing, use ‘wash bags’ (which are sold on Amazon & other retailers in many sizes) to keep them from being torn from buttons, zippers, etc on other items in the wash. With 8 in a pack, you should always have a clean one to use, while washing a previously used one. Rinse it out & Hang it after use to fully dry.

I love these
These bags are the best for bar soap. They scrub and rinse out nice.

Great product
Color: yellow
These are great! Super lightweight, easy to wash, and not painful to scrub your skin with. The price is right and the product is durable, fits all kinds of shaped and sized soaps, lathers well, and does not carry an abnormal smell.

Highly recommend!
Color: yellow
Very pleased with this product. The bags are soft but still exfoliate well. They hold lather after wetting the outside, but then allow the soap to dry completely when hung by the drawstring. I will buy them again when I need them.
