St. Willibrord Priory
The Sacred Iconography of St. Willibrord Oratory
The iconography was inspired by the ancient Italo-Byzantine style, and especially from the ancient Imperial Basilica di San Vitale, the Cathedral of the Emperor Justinian in Ravenna, Italy. All of the iconography is original sacred art by Master Ivan Astapchenia, an Orthodox Belarus artist who was commissioned by St. Willibrord Priory.
