Icons in a Shattered World

Oct 20, 2025 • Fr Panteleimon Toumbelekis

In a world that tells us to invent ourselves, Orthodoxy reminds us that our true identity is already given: we are living icons of God, created in His image and called to reflect His love. In Christ, the shattered pieces of who we are are restored, revealing the real, radiant self we were always meant to be.

This talk was held at Sofia UTS on 19th August.
