Maundy Thursday' 2015

 

The Institution of the Most Holy Eucharist :

  1.  As a token of HIS Faithful Love for us, Lord Jesus gave us the gift of HIS Blessed body in the form of a living bread. The picture shows the body of Christ transformed into a life giving bread.

 2. He said : ' this is my body '- which HE broke for our salvation. The picture shows the mangled body of Christ- we have been healed by HIS bruises [ Is 52:5 ]

3. Then HE took the cup and said : ' This is my blood, the blood of the Eternal covenant, poured out for the salvation of many.'  I have shown the outflowing blood taking the form of  " cup-of-salvation "

4. Below, we see the world enveloped in the darkness of sin. The outflowing blood is poured onto the world, to wash away the sins of the world.

5. Light emanating from the bread, symbolizes Jesus Christ the living bread, as the light of the world.

6. In the picture, I have shown the liveliness of Jesus Christ, the living bread in the form of growing vine - HE said ,"  I am the true vine ." [ John 15:1 ]

7. I  have painted the backdrop with fiery colors towards the earth symbolizing the fiery environment of the whole passion and shades of violet towards Heaven, symbolizing ' Heaven in mourning'.
