Beauty lifts the soul to God. There is something simply transformative and profound about seeing a grand vista, or an intricate work of art. It’s hard to put into words, but these things have an innate quality that makes people think and feel. A majestic view of a waterfall will often make someone stop and wonder at creation. A detailed painting evokes feelings of wonder and awe as we imagine the painstaking effort a skilled artist put into creating it. Beauty reminds us of God’s magnificence and the care and effort He put into the world around us.

Images often tell an entire story — one intended or the one only our hearts can see. The artist pours imagination, emotion, and a peek into a particular moment into the masterpiece. Artful depictions of the life of Christ offer families a unique opportunity to participate in discussions of faith that can engage all generations. From the youngest member of one's family to the oldest, everyone can look upon the beauty of art and share what they see and how it makes them feel.
