Celebrated Mass this morning at the altar below this image of St. Mary Magdalene in the Basilica of St. Stephen in Jerusalem. The Madeleine in honored as a Patron Saint of the Dominican Order becuase she was the first one charged with the preaching of the Resurrection of Jesus. - so this is a special day for Dominicans This painting is an exquisite image done in 1900. It is one of a series of paintings of Dominican Saints and Patrons that ring the aisles of St. Stephen's Basilica here at the Ecole Biblique. Happy Feast Day!
How beautiful. Amazing to have somebody make something like that - so much of the story told in just the look of the window. And for anyone to be able to see it anywhere with you...
