The Pierced Soul of Mary
By: Vashti Graham
Artist Description:
Mary stood at the foot of the cross, watching her Son suffer and die. The pain pierced her soul, just as Simeon had foretold when Jesus was a baby. She stayed faithful, standing strong in grief as her child gave His life.
Scripture References:
John 19:25: Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother
"Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene."
Luke 2:34–35: And a sword will pierce your own soul too
"Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too."
