Update on painting our Christchurch Oratory

Photos of the

Mother of Perpetual Succour Oratory, 
Christchurch, New Zealand.

 

 St Joseph's holy picture has been enhanced by its polychrome

surrounding and canopy.

The peculiar Star and Cross above the holy image are copies 

of the Holy Cross and Star

that to this day, in Bethlehem,

 commemorate 

the apparition of the angel to St Joseph in Bethlehem:

"And after they were departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt: and be there until I shall tell thee. For it will come to pass that Herod will seek the child to destroy him."

Mt. 2:13

 The updated image of the work done behind the altar

and surrounding our Mother of Perpetual Succour.

The dedicated work continues...

Thank you Brother!
