What is Christian Art?

We offer a unique approach to daily Gospel readings. Each day, we select a work of art relevant to the day’s scripture passage and offer a short reflection on the two.

Written by a former Director of Sotheby’s London and current candidate for the priesthood at the Pontifical Beda College in Rome, Christian Art’s mission is to draw people closer to God through the magnificent pairing of art and the Christian faith.

This is the story of the birth of Jesus told through 33 paintings ranging from Van Eyck to Botticelli. Advent has come to an end. For four weeks we have prepared for this day: the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Whilst Advent was a time of preparation for the coming of the Lord, today with his birth we are now invited to walk with Him, every step of the way. But if we are honest with ourselves, how many times are we forced to say to Jesus, with Saint Augustine “You were with me, but I was not with you”. To all our readers and subscribers, a very happy and joyful Christmas, Patrick

The Christmas Story told through Art

The UK will host the 26th UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow on 31st October. This is a 'Praying with Art' video we did, set to the music of John Denver's 'Windsong'. Through paintings by Van Gogh, Michelangelo, etc we look at the Beauty of our world... a world that has been entrusted into our care. We ask that we may all grow deeper in our respect for God's Creation and better care for it.

This Easter video is a prayer for your world, looking through the lens of art. I hope you will enjoy the watch, Patrick

Easter 2021 - A prayer for the World

Today, Ash Wednesday, we begin the liturgical season of Lent. The ashes used for Ash Wednesday are made from the burned and blessed palms of the previous year’s Palm Sunday. These ashes are the product of a ‘death’ of the palm branch, dried out and burned, and turned into the fine powder of ash. We use this sign of death at the beginning of Lent to mark our journey from ‘dying’ to self towards a new life. On Palm Sunday we will be given a new palm branch by the Church… Our faith takes us full circle. In this video we look a little closer to the ashes and the symbolism of the palm branches. As we embark today on this annual adventure in our faith, may we embrace each day Lent brings as an opportunity to bring us closer to Christ. Wishing you all a grace filled Lent, Patrick

Ash Wednesday through Art

This Christmas is unlike any other, to cap off a year unlike any other. The joy of Christmas is with us, but also a sadness that we can’t be with family & friends. Already 2,000 years ago the joy of the birth of Christ was already closely linked to His sufferings. His birth and Crucifixion have many parallels. The Nativity foretells Christ crucified. In this video we look at 10 parallels between the nativity and Calvary. Wishing a very merry and blessed Christmas to you all, Patrick
