Primary travel and photography for the Thebaid Project extended from September 2016 through September 2018, with a few additional trips and images made up through Summer 2022.
Following publishing delays and a two-year setback due to the Covid-19 lockdowns, we are pleased to announce that the resulting book, The North American Thebaid, A Photographic Pilgrimage to Orthodox Christian Monasteries, Photographs by Ralph H. Sidway, is officially going to press, and will soon be published by St. Tikhon's Monastery Press, South Canaan, Pennsylvania.
This large-format, fine-art "coffee table" book represents the culmination of a unique multi-year project, which has combined crowdfunding, social media, and an unprecedented photographic pilgrimage to over thirty Orthodox monasteries across the American continent and Alaska, to help raise awareness of and interest in the Orthodox Church and its ancient monastic traditions, and thus contribute to the "churching" of America.
NOTE: Sample cover designs are shown throughout the Thebaid Store; the actual cover design may vary.
