We did a bit of celebrating Maundy Thursday last evening, beginning with some discussion about this icon, purchased in Italy on a trip Paul and I took there in 2005. We have several icons in our house, but this one is my favorite with the bright, almost modernist, feel. I also like that you can't tell which one is Judas, making me suspicious of them all.
We also had a simple meal of homemade bread and vegetable soup. I imagine the Last Supper was pretty simple fare.
Also yesterday, I finished up the last piece I wanted to add to Finn's Easter basket. He has been in love with Owl Babies for quite some time. "Poor Bill..." Finn says when Bill starts yearning for his mommy. I hope he'll give this Bill a little lovin'.
That icon is really unique. I can see why you like it.
ReplyDeleteThe soup & bread look rather scrumptious too!
Peace.
I really like that icon as well. The owl baby is adorable. Finn is a lucky little boy. I still have some crafting to do for the Easter baskets before I'm done.
ReplyDeleteI love it all, but esp. the owl.
ReplyDeleteBy the way-- were the boys at the Sci Center today with school? I saw a group from their school (same one as our friends' kids) and one looked suspiciously like yours-- Phillip, I think? Orange jacket, tye-dye shirt?
Melissa, that's so funny that you recognized him from my blog. It was Paulie. He had a field trip there today. :)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter loved Owl Babies when she was about Finn's age. Such a sweet book-he'll love that owl you made for him!
ReplyDeleteAww...that owl couldn't BE any cuter. He's just adorable, and I bet Finn will love him. My own little Kayla loves owls. Truly, they are such fascinating birds!
ReplyDeleteYour bread and soup looked delish, too.
Your owl baby is lovely! Have a wonderful Easter Joy!
ReplyDeleteFinn is going to love the owl. You really captured Bill.
