As we prepare our hearts for Christmas, this video meditation from Michelangelo's Sistine chapel fresco featuring images from Isaiah the prophet and the story of Noah draw our attention to the lectionary readings which do the same. It encourages us to think of the message that these two great prophets declared in times past and for us today.
This altar piece presents a mystical depiction of one of Advents key symbols. This mediation is one produced by Arts and Faith in 2013 for the Year A cycle focusing on the royal lineage of Jesus. Jesus is a strange symbol of royalty, not of power but of dependence and humility. Our perceptions are tested as to what is true power, glory and success.
