This third short video, "East Meets West: Icons of the Transfiguration", accompanies the exhibition East Meets West: Women Icon Makers of West Ukraine. The exhibition pays tribute to eight innovative women icon-makers of the Lviv School who have achieved recognition in a religious art genre traditionally dominated by men. Ukraine is a nation at the historic continental divide where Europe confronts Russia and the Latin and Byzantine worlds collide and converge. The intermingling of cultures and faith traditions in the regions at Ukraine's western border has given rise to a style of sacred art unique in the Christian World, rooted in Ukrainian Greek Catholicism, a branch of the Catholic Church that embraces the Eastern Orthodox form of worship and the veneration of icons.
