Eight Artists for Holy Week's "Passion Story"

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By Ernest Disney-Britton

For Holy Week, we are doing something a little different. After some debate, we've selected the works of eight contemporary artists to tell the Passion Week story from Palm Sunday through Easter. The artists include Believers, and Skeptics too. Here's the schedule:
  1. Palm Sunday: William Hemmerling (Jesus enters Jerusalem to the waving of Palms)
  2. Monday: Douglas Blanchard (Jesus expels the Money Changers from the temple)
  3. Tuesday: Adi Nes (Jesus fearlessing teaches in Jerusalem)
  4. Wednesday: Ed Knippers (Jesus demonstrates humility by washing the feet of his disciples)
  5. Thursday: Gerda Liebmann (Jesus demonstrates how to remember him, during the Last Supper his family is together)
  6. Friday: David Mach (Jesus, the son of God, is crucified)
  7. Saturday: David LaChapelle (Jesus lies dead in the tomb)
  8. Easter Sunday: Tony Melendez (Christ is Risen)
