Christianity in Art

I like visiting museums at times to see Christian Art and Egyptian art and other art. I have shared some of my favourite Christian art with you. With winter approaching art never fails to help get me through it.

Adam and God-Michelangelo Buonarroti

Thiis is a image of the feeding of the five thousand which I found online.

I like that Christ is behind the door and is the gateway that gives us light in the world-The Holy Spirit.

The Fool of Christ Mark Cazalet 1964. This speaks to me that Christ also perhaps went through torment in his life in the mind and overcame. On that level it really speaks to me as well.

This artist I found through the Methodist Church website on art. The artist is called Nicholas Mynheer - Rest on the flight to Egypt. I love trees and it reminds me, that God offers is a provider to and offers protection and shield.

Saint Perpetua and Felicity
Just after the death of Pope St. Victor I, St. Perpetua and St. Felicity underwent their martyrdom in Carthage, around 203.

St. Perpetua was a young, well-educated noblewoman and mother living in Carthage in North Africa. Her mother was a Christian and her father was a pagan. Perpetua followed the faith of her mother. Despite the pleas of her father to deny her faith. Perpetua fearlessly proclaimed it. At the age of 22, she was jailed for her faith. While in prison she continued to care for her infant child and put up with tortures designed to make her renounce her faith. Perpetua remained steadfast until the end. St. Perpetua was sacrificed at the games as a public spectacle.

St. Felicity was a pregnant slave girl who was imprisoned with her. Little is known about her life because, unlike Perpetua, she did not keep a diary. After imprisonment and torture, Felicity was also condemned to die at the games.Only a few days before her execution, Felicity gave birth to a daughter, who was secretly taken away to be cared for by some of the faithful.

They share the feast day of March 7, and their names are forever mentioned together in the Roman Canon of the Mass.
