SVOTS – Dr. Mary B. Cunningham – July 2016

On October 1, 2016
St. Vladimir’s Seminary
575 Scarsdale Rd.
Yonkers, NY 10707

Throughout the history of the Christian Church, the Virgin Mary has been the focus of unparalleled love and devotion, the subject of fervent prayer. Join us for our annual open house and fall festival, this year on the feast day of the Protection of the Mother of God, as we celebrate the life and person of the Theotokos.

Renowned scholar Dr. Mary B. Cunningham, author of Gateway of Life: Orthodox Thinking on the Mother of God, will present the keynote address. Dr. Cunningham is Honorary Associate Professor in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies at the University of Nottingham, United Kingdom.

The day will be filled with liturgical services from the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox traditions, representing the diversity of our student body. Attend presentations on topics such as the iconography of the Akathist and the ministry of All Saints Greek Orthodox Monastery of Calverton, NY, which focuses on providing services to survivors of human trafficking. Visit our marketplace filled with international cuisine and Orthodox books and gifts. And, bring the kids—there will be special activities throughout the day just for them!

Three Hierarchs Chapel and the seminary bookstore will be open to the public throughout the day. Admission is free. We hope to see you there!
