Camp Mark Seven’s religious program offers a six day spiritual journey for everyone who wishes to understand and embrace the pain and sorrow of Jesus on the cross by drawing and painting an icon of the cross. An hour daily lecture on the Theology of Salvation by the Holy Cross will be offered as a part of the iconography seminar.

Each participant will draw and paint a wooden cross, transforming the cross into an icon as an expression of one’s faith and solidary with Jesus in his suffering and death.

Through prayer, seminar discussion, and painting icons of the cross workshop, we will contemplate how Jesus embraced the Cross for our redemption and how this mystery continues to shape our faith today. It will be like having a personal WAY OF THE CROSS during the iconography seminar.
