ST GEORGE'S ANGLICAN CHURCH VENICE
WELCOME...
...to all Christians of any Church or none, who want to find or to worship God using the English language. Your visit may be a virtual one on this website, or actual when you come to our adopted city.
We hope you will find, as many do, that St. George's provides a Christian experience in a familiar Anglican / Episcopalian setting, but one in keeping with our cultural surroundings. Here you can offer your thanks to the Creator in the midst of the glories of the art, architecture and incredible beauty of this city, and reflect on the presence of God in your own life.
ALL are welcome on Sundays at 10.30 am. Anyone who is seeking Christ is invited to receive communion.

EVENTS
LENTEN ZOOM TALKS FROM ST. GEORGE’S:
AFTER THE CRUCIFIXION
Many of you joined Chris Wiscarson’s presentations last year on the paintings of the Last Supper and the Nativity, and we are delighted to let you know that this Lent he is giving two new presentations exploring how artists have portrayed what happened ‘After the Crucifixion’.
Join us on 15 and 22 March, beginning at 7pm Venice time, for about 45 minutes.
In the first presentation, he will explore the genius of Michelangelo, Bellini, and Titian, contrasting their portrayal of Christ’s descent from the Cross into his mother’s arms, with 19th and 20th century greats Eugène Delacroix, Vincent Van Gogh, and Graham Sutherland.
In the second presentation, he will consider closely how Botticelli, Caravaggio and Tintoretto portrayed Christ’s Resurrection and Ascension to Heaven in contrast to Stanley Spencer, Anthony Gormley and Jackson Pollock.
