#SiningBayanihan: Sacrum Cor

Good Friday 2020. The Sacred Heart is often depicted in Christian art as a flaming heart shining with divine light, pierced by the lance-wound, encircled by the crown of thorns, surmounted by a cross, and bleeding. The wounds and crown of thorns allude to the manner of Jesus' death, while the fire represents the transformative power of divine love. The devotion is especially concerned with what the Church deems to be the long-suffering love and compassion of the heart of Christ towards humanity.

Holy Week

This year the holy week was earlier than i expected. For the past four years, we spent our holy week with the family outside the city but this year we stayed here in zamboanga. Anyways, holy week is not really important to me because i am not a catholic. But because im a Filipino, i still respect the sacred days where people commemorate the sacrifice of God for us. When i was a kid, holy week is a sad week. There are no shows in TV and all stores are closed. But i realized that the essence of the holy week is the love of God for us. My favorite part of the greatest story ever told is when Jesus resurrected. This is a revelation to us because through his resurrection, Christ became a life-giving spirit and we can directly experience God through the Spirit. When Jesus rose from the dead, we all celebrate. Easter Sunday represents the day when the resurrection happened. It is my favorite day in the holy week because of the true meaning of the easter day. because of this, i was inspired to create a quick vector art that i made during the eve of this years easter sunday. I hope you like it. :D

Mark 16:1-8

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?"

But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

"Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.' "

Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.
