Advent Art
Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better. ~André Gide The season of Advent, the four Sundays leading up to Christmas, is a time that we join with Christian tradition and focus on the Story of God’s salvation. This year’s theme for Advent is "Rescue from Chaos." During these four weeks: we remember how our spiritual ancestors waited with Hope for salvation from God; we remember God’s Love for us shown in Jesus Christ; we remember with Joy our own salvation through Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection; and we remember that we too are waiting for the final redemption of the world, by which God’s reign of Peace will be established. If you are a poet, painter, sculptor or other artist, meditate on the above themes, and let your thoughts flow out into your preferred art medium.
