“Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem” by He Qi
Almighty and everliving God, in your tender love for the human race you sent your Son our Savior Jesus Christ to take upon him our nature, and to suffer death upon the cross, giving us the example of his great humility: Mercifully grant that we may walk in the way of his suffering, and also share in his resurrection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Looking for a local photographer here in central NY? Look no further. These pictures were taken at our house by my good friend Tom Harmon. These are just a few of the ones he put up on his website, so please check them out there. WordPress won’t let me put the entire pictures up because they’re too big. So for the full effect check his site, not only for the rest of our pics (especially the last picture, which is much bigger and better on his site), but for the rest of his amazing portfolio. Enjoy!
Here is a short video I made using paintings, drawings, and other artistic mediums. I believe that art, whether it be audible, visual, tactile, etc., taps into our imaginations in ways that text cannot. It isn’t that text is a less effective medium, but that the visual and audible open up new avenues of seeing and hearing things. They deepen our experience of written text and allow us to see how others envision things.
I hope this is a help in dwelling, partaking, and embodying the events of Holy Week. For those wondering, the music is by Awake! Awake! and is called “The Dawn”.

Here is a painted rendition of Jesus washing his disciples’ feet as found in John 13. It was done by Duccio di Buoninsegna circa 1308-1311. They just don’t paint things like they used to, huh?
Can you pick out any parts of the biblical story as interpreted in the painting?
