The Cross Through Artists’ Eyes: Artistic Lenten Lunchtime Meditations
Mondays at 12:15pm
Every Monday of Lent, we will gather over Zoom for a short, 15 minute service of prayer and meditation at 12:15 p.m., focusing on different artists’ interpretations of the cross either through visual art or creative writing. Feel free to bring your lunch with you! Artists will represent a wide spectrum of relationships to Christianity and the cross, as well as vary significantly in their depictions, but all will invite us into a deeper and more creative relationship with this essential symbol of our faith. No familiarity with the week’s artist or writer is needed to participate!
In these 15 minutes, there will be a short introduction to the artist’s work and to our prayer practice, time with silence or background music to prayerfully meditate on that artist’s perspective, and time for a few comments. We’ll begin Monday March 7th with “The Cross Through the Eyes of Georgia O’Keeffe” followed by “The Cross Through The Eyes of Marc Chagall” on Monday March 14th. Be on the look-out for the Zoom invite, as well as info on featured artists for the rest of Lent.
