"Go. Proclaim the Gospel"

The Title of the painting comes from the Gospel

according to Mark (MK 16: 15 NAB)

“Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel

to every creature.”

The painting depicts Jorge’s visual

impression of what took place 40 days after

the Resurrection, from the time of Jesus’

Ascension to Pentecost and beyond. What do you

see? How does it speak to you?

Two framed Limited Edition signed and

numbered 11X14 reproductions available

Frame A- $250. Frame B- $180.

Order forms are available at the church's office.
