Description
This is a watercolor painting I completed April 2013 of Mary painfully standing at the feet of Jesus while he hangs on the cross. As a mother myself I am completely taken by the image of Mary watching her son, undeservingly taking on the sins of the world and dying a horrible death. It must have been excruciatingly difficult to hold on to the knowledge that he will rise again to rein forever.
Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
Stabat Mater (Latin words meaning - Mother Standing), is a 13th century hymn depicting the overwhelming sorrow of the mother of our Messiah while he dies on the cross. The first stanza says, "At the Cross her station keeping, stood the mournful Mother weeping, close to her Son to the last."
