Angel With The Cross



There are ten sculptures of angels on the Ponte Sant’ Angelo in Rome, each one is holding a symbol of Christ’s suffering and death.

I was fortunate to be able to see and walk across this bridge a few years ago.

I love this painting Pat. There were many sculptures in Antigua as well.

We also like this painting, Pat! Al commented on the lovely colours you used.

Your subject matter of angels supporting Christ in his suffering is both meaningful and comforting. How beautiful. Al and Sophie

I appreciate your comments, Al & Sophie. It was a meaningful experience, complete with an approaching thunderstorm.
