• The National Museum of Canada funded the development and tour of the exhibition. It was titled ‘Seasons of Celebration: Ritual in Eastern Christian Culture’. The tour, from 1987 to 1989, brought the exhibition to the major museums in Canada from Vancouver to St John, Newfoundland. A companion book was published to accompany the exhibition titled, Seasons of Celebration: Ritual in Eastern Christian Culture/Temps de celebration: Les Rites dans la culture chretienne d’Orient, by David J. Goa, with a foreword by Jaroslav Pelikan, and essays by the iconographer Heiko C. Schlieper and the Byzantine musicologist Nicolas Schidlovsky (Edmonton, 1986). I have written about the exhibition in ‘Seasons of Celebration: An Exhibition on Eastern Christian Ritual’, Faith and Form: Journal of the Interfaith Forum on Religion, Art and Architecture (Autumn 1987).
