Join us tomorrow as we mark Ash Wednesday with masses at 7:30 am, 12:15 pm, and 7 pm. The evening mass is the solemn service with the choir. Ashes are blessed and imposed at all services. Here the Lady Chapel is vested in the Lenten Array. The frontal is the work of the Warham Guild from the 1950s for a church in Southport, Merseyside. #Episcopal #AngloCatholic #Lent #AshWednesday #altar #lentenarray #altarfrontal #vestments #NYC #NewYorkCity #UpperWestSide #church (at Saint Ignatius of Antioch Episcopal Church)
I wish you a thoughtful Ash Wednesday, comrades, and remind you that Sacrifice is the Cosmic Currency. Though I serve and seek at the call of Old Gods, I was raised in Catholic Culture. I have long felt that this perspective, that true change comes only through sacrifice, is powerfully illustrated in the story of Jesus. Even the God of Abraham could only twist the arc of fate, the nature of His covenant, with a sacrifice (of Himself to Himself). For this reason I find Lent a good season to meditate on this mantra. I hope you are finding meaning out there as Winter grows old and the new Spring stirs in Her nest. New art coming very soon. . . . #lent #ashwednesday #meditation #contemplation #ritual #occult #magick #mantra #mantracard #sacred #sacrifice #cosmic #card #illustration #digitalart #digitalillustration #stag #knife #eldritch #tree #eldritchtree #phillyartist #queerartist #gayartists #gaywitch #witchcraft #oldgods #oldways (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLZ0Vjunh5Z/?igshid=15tstv4cpb5tp
