Advent 3: Mary's Praise Song

Mary was a virgin who became pregnant. She went to visit Elizabeth, her cousin, an old woman who also became pregnant. When they greeted each other, they both burst out into songs of praise. Mary's song of praise to God is called the Magnificat. It begins, "My soul magnifies the Lord!" Mary stayed with Elizabeth for three months, when John was born.

Advent 2: John the Baptist

This is the second in the series of Lectionary Portraits. John the Baptist (really it should be John the Baptizer) is a fascinating character who proclaimed a gospel of repentance and baptism. He announced the coming of Jesus, his cousin. "Prepare the way of the Lord!"

Lectionary Portraits—Advent 1: Jesus Returns

I'm starting a new series of portraits of biblical characters for the covers of our church's weekly liturgies. The church liturgical year begins this coming Sunday with Advent. My goal is to make expressive images connected to the lectionary readings for each Sunday. And I hope to capture something that enriches our worship. The first image for Advent 1, "Jesus Returns." is actually a pallette knife painting I did several years ago. I would love to hear your feedback, so I can improve throughout the year. (Yes, 52 portraits—Yikes!)
