The Gospel in Color
Sacred Art
Paintings, frescoes, and mosaics that have carried the faith to the heart for centuries — arranged as the story of salvation, from the oldest icons of Christ to the war in heaven. Where a work depicts a Mystery of the Rosary, follow the gold link to pray it.
In the Beginning
Before the story of salvation was painted, it was believed: God who made Adam, and the eternal Face that the oldest icons of the Church dare to show.
The Coming of Christ
The Annunciation, the Virgin conceived without sin, and the Child in her arms — the Joyful Mysteries as the masters saw them.
The Ministry of Jesus
He called sinners from their counting tables, taught on the mountainside, calmed the sea, and told of a father who ran to meet his ruined son.
The Passion of the Lord
From the table of the Last Supper to His Mother's arms — the Sorrowful Mysteries, painted by those who wept over them.
The Risen Christ and His Church
He is known in the breaking of the bread — and the Church He founded on Peter carries that bread through the centuries.
The Angelic Guard
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels — the defender whose prayer opens this site's own door.
