Windows into Advent (and Christmas) - Day Twenty-Three

Reflection

The painting above is the result of a collaboration between London-Irish artist Brian Whelan, a Roman Catholic and Jeff Frohner, a Lutheran pastor from Orange County, California. The painting is 'to inspire conversation' and is described as "a powerful, richly textured work with a black skinned Madonna and child and some playful  modern  touches." 

Happy Christmas, may the playful presence of Christ be yours this Christmastide.

Scripture

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; for in him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers—all things have been created through him and for him. He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 

Colossians Chapter 1 verses 15-17
