Happy Easter
Mary Magdalene at the Empty Tomb
acrylic on eggshell, 2017
Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni,”* which means Teacher.
In Eastern Orthodox iconography, Mary Magdalene is often depicted holding a red egg, symbolizing the resurrection. According to tradition, Saint Mary Magdalene, who had patrician rank, gained an audience in Rome with the emperor after the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ. She denounced Pilate for his handling of Jesus' trial and then began to talk with Caesar about Jesus' resurrection. She picked up a hen's egg from the dinner table to illustrate her point about resurrection. Caesar was unmoved and replied that there was as much chance of a human being returning to life as there was for the egg to turn red. Immediately, the egg miraculously turned red in her hand! It is because of this tradition that Orthodox Christians exchange red eggs at Easter.
Colors and patterns inspired by Ukrainian pysanka eggs.

In the country of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Muslims, Orthodox Christians and Catholics have been living side by side for
many years, but they have not always gotten along. Twenty years have passed since they were at
war with each other. How can neighbors
of different faiths live together in peace?
Pope
Francis, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, paid a visit to Bosnia on June 6,
2015. This is the true story of a Muslim family of carpenters who designed and
made a chair in honor of this occasion.
Drawn
from interviews with the senior carpenter, extensive research, and consultation
from an imam and a priest, this book is for children, parents, grandparents, …
for everyone!
