I have done some traveling so it has been some days since I published a post in this blog. One place was the Sumela Monastery at Trabzon, Turkey. This, once a Greek Orthodox Monastery now long abandoned, was built on the side of a cliff. The artwork in and around the chapel was amazing. It depicts redemption from stories in the Bible. The gift of art preserved in this monastery is a gift to teach all people about Jesus - it just needs to be shared.
I am so aware as I travel of how others around the world need Jesus. This art reminds me that Jesus who is present in all of us needs to be shared. It is up to every one us us to do so.
Blessings to all of you,
Fr. Pete
The construction and the art you've shown here are simply stunning, Fr. Pete... How much more so it must be to see it with one's own eyes ! Does this image of the Mother and Child have a name/title? God bless you, Father.
