Palm SundayGood ShepherdSimple line drawings of highlights from the ministry of Jesus occupy several medallions appearing in the work,The TransfigurationAs an interim piece in church, we see four angels surrounding the cross of Jesus. They are crowned, but their eyes are cast down in modesty.The Ascension of Christ depicts a kind of “space age” representation of the ascension of Christ. In this work Christ is transported above in an effervescence of pearls.The First Sunday in Advent bringsShield of Angels is done on canvas. It presents the idea that we are protected by God's angels because of his great love for each of us.The Baptism of Our LordWe mark Epiphany in church with a crowned Holy Family. On the bottom of the work prominently you will see three elaborate crowns. These crowns are the symbolic presence of the kings who have come to behold the baby Jesus.The saints for All Saints' Day are drawn simply and alike to express their unity of love.Reformation SundayWe begin the art of this year with a simple cross atop a garden of rich roses. This should take us through Reformation.For Trinity Sunday, a rather elaborate representation. The bust of Christ extends beyond the base border in an unusual touch. Around this triune depiction is a framework of black, highlighted with metallic pens of several shades and faux jewels.In the drawing for Pentecost, the dove descends. Flames appear abover the heads of the disciples and Mary. These are the meaningful symbols of the season and are typical for its depiction.For Ascension Day, we are given a pictorial look at that topic. A bust of Christ is flanked by blue angels on his journey through them - upward to the Father (represented by an anxious folk art hand, ready to receive him into the heavenly realm.)Henry Melchior Muhlenberg (1711-1787) is considered the patriarch of the Lutheran Church in the United States. Muhlenberg and his wife Anna Maria had a large family, several of whom had a significant impact on colonial life in North America.Elizabeth Fedde (1850-1921) was a Norwegian Lutheran Deaconess who established the Norwegian Relief Society to better serve the Norwegian-American immigrant community.Crowns of Heaven
