Jesus came into a FAMILY. This is so powerful and important for us to reflect on. Their simplicity of life and the way they loved each other is an example for us all. With great joy, they served. Here is a recent painting I completed, titled Cena, that is a reflection on family life.
The Holy Family sits around the table, peacefully. Joseph is teaching the Christ Child about the passover, foreshadowing what is to come. Christ holds the cup and lays across a red fabric, also speaking of the suffering he is to endure. Our Lady, dressed in her blue gestures an offering, an example of her very life. In the background are lilies, a traditional symbol of purity, chosen one, and those that share in the resurrection.
