The Hebrew inscriptions on the robes of the man holding the child seem to indicate that they may be an exact representation of ritual garments of the period.Lapinbizarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07686990585795363001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132206171945839649.post-87579985027336996662009-01-02T08:41:00.000+00:002009-01-02T08:41:00.000+00:00The painting is 'The Circumcision of Christ' by th...The painting is 'The Circumcision of Christ' by the Master of the Tucher Altar, Nuremberg, 1440-1450 —<BR/>medieval, grossly physical/ crude (though looks nicely icon-like from afar off). Bit like circumcision.<BR/><BR/>Another great clue about the Circumcision at the outset of the year is that it elegantly integrates grace and law, which those of us accustiomed to wear Lutheran spectacles tend to prise apart and set against each other. It's so counter-intuitive — I know the theory, but need help to receive it for what it is, and live it daily... GM many thanks for encouragement and fellowship in setting out in that direction on day 1 of 2009!Bishop Alan Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879516755776951638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132206171945839649.post-11079666854367567262009-01-01T17:56:00.000+00:002009-01-01T17:56:00.000+00:00This year I need a better grasp of Grace, right fr...<I>This year I need a better grasp of Grace, right from the outset, prefigured but super-transcended in the Circumcision of our Lord Jesus Christ. Alleluia!</I> <BR/><BR/>Bishop Alan, if that is your one New Year's resolution, then it suffices. I may make it mine, too.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7132206171945839649.post-25062947771222880982009-01-01T17:17:00.000+00:002009-01-01T17:17:00.000+00:00Yikes! don't think I have seen that painting befor...Yikes! don't think I have seen that painting before.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287169546184325690noreply@blogger.com
