Lecture by Dr. Ani Shahinian | Assistant Professor in Armenian Christian Art and Theology, St. Nersess and St Vladimir’s Theological Seminaries in New York.

Armenian Gospel illuminations use light, color, and rich symbolism to make Christ visually present on the page, transforming the manuscript into a space where the divine is not just read about, but seen and encountered. This lecture explores the meeting of biblical interpretation and visual theology.
