Thank God For Icons!


 

 
I learned today about this educational tool that is free for all: KHANACADEMY: http://www.khanacademy.org/
This evening, as I was taking a look at the site, my son choose to learn more about the Medial Europe! So we were very surprised to see a few links about the Great Hagia Sophia in Constantinople (Istanbul –today), about the holy icons and even a video about The Saint Catherine's Monastery in Egypt!
If you would like to see it, go to the link above, click on subject (on the top left side) and choose Art and Humanities. Pick Medial Europe and then go to Byzantine (Late Roman Empire). The links following after that are very educative for children ages 7-12. I am glad to see the videos that also come along with the different sections.
