Golgotha of Jasna Gora – Passion Art

H/T Julia : Golgotha of Jasna Gora – Artist: Jerzy Duda Gracz

 

 Here a bit more information about the images.

In the shrine at Czestochowa, upstairs from the famous icon of the Black Madonna, a 21st-century Way of the Cross reminds us that our real enemy is not the evil outside of us but the sin within us. In March 2001, the late Polish painter Jerzy Duda Gracz presented the monastery at Jasna Gora, one of the most popular pilgrimage sites in the world, with new Stations of the Cross. Gracz named these paintings after Golgotha, the mountain where Jesus was crucified, but many of the landscapes and faces he included in them are eerily recognizable to present-day viewers.

About lioness

I am a wife, a mother, a Sinai nurse, of who it is said, "You can always tell a Sinai nurse. You just can't tell her much." To that I add, artist, photographer of sorts and a writer. I live loving God and grateful for the Faith with which I am blessed. I am in awe of God's good creation. Daily Mass helps keep me focused and aware of God’s presence. I try to live in that awareness depending on His grace. Through my writing I hope to share His gift.. My writing is my outreach. My part will be as small as I am, but God can use the gifts He gives me. My best efforts aren't enough, I place my works under the patronage of the Immaculata that I may "do whatever He tells you." I write a lot these days. It's good therapy and at least makes me feel like my two cents might help someone, somewhere. That's the plan! I am a wife, a mother, a graduate of the Mount Sinai Hospital School of Nursing in NYC). I am the commissioned artist of the large Icon, Jesus King of All Nations, that has traveled the world on pilgrimage. I, also, created the prototype for the stain glass window of Our Lady of Medjugorje in the chapel of Caritas, in Birmingham, Alabama. I am a photographer (Photo-Jo/smugmug ), a writer, published in now gone, Catholic Charismatic Magazine, an avid blogger and poet.
