4 figures from the Easter Events

  • MOTHER MARY

    Mary, the mother of Jesus – weeping by the cross 

    John 19:25

     

    Mary stands among those gathered to witness Jesus' crucifixion. In this moment, as she watches her son on the cross, Mary's mind returns to earlier days when she cradled her baby boy in her arms—the painful contrast between the innocent child she once held and the suffering man before her now.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    This image is part of a series depicting four individuals, each shown as different nationalities. This diversity invites us to see ourselves in their stories and reflect on the same fundamental question they faced: "Is Jesus who He said He is?"​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

  • PETER

    Peter – mending fishing nets 

    John 21:3

    Peter sits on the edge of his boat, mending a net. This was his livelihood before meeting Jesus, and it's what he returned to after the crucifixion. In this moment—set before the resurrection—Peter contemplates the question: "Is Jesus who He said He is?"

  • JUDAS

    Judas – handing back the coins 

    Matthew 27:3-5

    Judas stands in the temple, returning the coins he received for betraying Jesus. Scripture describes this as an act driven by remorse. Yet this moment may also represent something deeper—perhaps Judas is seeking forgiveness from Jesus, reaching for redemption after his devastating betrayal.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

  • MARY MAGDALENE

    Mary Magdalene - in the garden 

    John 20:11-17

    Mary has come to the tomb carrying burial spices, and pauses to gather flowers along the way. Finding the tomb open, her first thought is that someone has taken Jesus' body away. This scene captures the moment when she looks up and recognises the risen Jesus standing before her.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
