Christmas Day | The Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ
10:00 am — Holy Eucharist (with music)
Lesson: Isaiah 52:7-10
Psalm: 98
Epistle: Hebrews 1:1-12
Gospel: John 1:1-14
Title: The Light of the World; Artist: Frank Wesley (1923-2002); Scripture: Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 2:1-14, (15-20), Luke 2:(1-7), 8-20, John 1:(1-9), 10-18, John 1:1-14. Notes: Wesley was born in Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh into a fifth generation Christian family of Hindu and Muslim descent. He belongs to the Lucknow school of painting. His paintings reflect this influence and that of the Chughtai school of painting that flourished in India at the turn of the century. Wesley made art based on both biblical and secular themes. He used water colours, oil paintings, miniatures and wooden carvings. Wesley’s painting “Blue Madonna” was used for the first UNICEF Christmas card, while five of his paintings were exhibited at the 1950 Holy Year Exhibition in the Vatican. He is also known for designing the funeral urn for Mahatma Gandhi’s ashes. Permalink: https://diglib.library.vanderbilt.edu/act-imagelink.pl?RC=59168 (Use this link to refer back to this image.)
