The illustrator has done a marvellou...I think so. <br /><br />The illustrator has done a marvellous job of contrasting light with darkness. So, imagine coming UP the staircase ... a different matter entirely. And millions of people have experienced this from the birth of the early Church at the first Pentecost.<br /><br />The artist put a lot of thought into this illustration. It's one of a kind.<br /><br />In the archway down to the abyss, there seems to be a face (looking to the left), eye closed, head tilted. The closed eye could symbolise a closed mind: 'I don't want to see what I cannot accept' -- or vice versa! <br /><br />ChurchmouseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-78608919539090244402014-12-09T20:42:01.213-05:002014-12-09T20:42:01.213-05:00I wonder if the staircase analogy works in the opp...I wonder if the staircase analogy works in the opposite direction when leading someone to Faith?Undergroundpewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182191422663119484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-55770131210388934462014-12-08T17:29:45.576-05:002014-12-08T17:29:45.576-05:00Thank you for reblogging this -- much appreciated!...Thank you for reblogging this -- much appreciated!<br /><br />That illustration is chilling. Note the progression from light into darkness. <br /><br />I also like the three-generation movement. The elder leading a middle-aged man and a younger chap down the fateful staircase.<br /><br />Something to think about, especially during Advent.<br /><br />ChurchmouseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
