Art for Lent II

LL Cool J
by Nicolette Faison | @sanctifiedart
Inspired by Luke 7:36-50

From the artist's statement:

“Ladies love Cool Jesus. For real. Women absolutely loved Jesus, and the woman with the alabaster jar is a great example of that. Who else shows up to an event unannounced with expensive oils to not only anoint someone’s feet but to then offer their tears and use their hair to wipe the feet clean? I don’t think people comprehend the drama within that part of the story. This was an act of love, admiration, and prophecy. To me, this interpretation of the story gives the woman the attention she deserves.

 

St. Paul's Episcopal Church Sacramento is built on the unceded land of the Miwok and Nisenan peoples.

We acknowledge these communities, their elders both past and present, as well as future generations. St. Paul's Sacramento also acknowledges that it was founded upon exclusions and erasures of many Indigenous peoples, including those on whose land this church was founded. With God's help, we commit ourselves to acknowledging the truth of California's history, as well as strengthening existing relationships and improving our efforts to build collaborative relationships with Native peoples.

Thank you for your generosity

Simple and secure giving.
