St. Patricks Cathedral, New York, NY And on the first of the week, about the third hour of the night, the sun was seen such as it had never at any time shone, and all the heaven was lighted up. [A] n innumerable multitude of angels cr [ied] out… saying: “Glory in the highest to God, and on earth peace, among [people] of goodwill…” [A] t their voice all the mountains and hills were shaken, and the rocks were burst asunder… [a] nd there were seen… [the] dead raised up… And all the multitude walked about, and sang praises… saying: “The Lord our God that has risen from the dead has brought to life all the dead…” [The Report of Pontius Pilate (c. 33-40 CE)] “When he was buried, they set guards upon him – yet while my soldiers watched him, he rose again on the third day… The soldiers… did not remain silent about what had happened. They testified that they saw him arisen.” [Paul Winter. A Letter from Pontius Pilate. Novum Testamentum. Vol. 7. Fasc. 1. (March 1964). 38.] “He appeared to them… restored to life.” [Flavius Josephus. Antiquities of the Jews. Book 18, Chapter 3,3. (c. 71 CE)]

St. Paul's Chapel, New York, NY Note: Created by Jessica Stammen. The base is made of steel from the fallen World Trade Center. To me, in conjunction with Jeremiah 2 9:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” , this chalice has special meaning since it symbolizes God's love and His protection of my life represented by holding it in within His loving hands. www.ipernity.com/blog/285927/4727442

New York, NY Info: Cubed Curve , a work of modern contemporary art was created by American sculptor and painter William Crovello (b. 1929) and placed outside the Time-Life Building at 1271 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY in 1972 after being commissioned by the Association for a Better New York. It stood there until October 2018 when donated and transferred to Ursinus College, Collegeville, PA.

Marble Sculpture by French artist François Auguste René Rodin (1840-1917), c. 1903, Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens, Jacksonville, FL. Note: “This sculpture depicts a dramatic moment from Greek mythology when one of the Danaids, the daughters of Danaos, collapses in despair… after being punished with the endless task of filling a bottomless barrel with water.” [1] After Aegyptus had seized the Egyptian throne from his twin brother Danaos, the latter agreed to betroth his 50 daughters to the former’s 50 sons for the sake of peace. However, instead of keeping with the agreement, Danaos fled with his daughters to Argos where the people made him king believing they had been sent by the gods because of his daughters’ indescribable beauty. Under his rule, Argos experienced an era of “peace and prosperity” [2] that was threatened when Aegyptus and his sons arrived upon learning Danaos and his daughters were there. Danaos in no position to wage war accepted Aegyptus’ terms to honor the agreement but warned him, “[a] t thine own peril touch them! ” to which Aegyptus responded – “[t] he prey is mine, unless force rend it from me. ” [3] Peace! For what Fate hath ordained will surely not tarry but come… Wide is the counsel of Zeus… Only I pray that whate’er, in the end, of this wedlock he doom…” [4] Consequently, Danaos who did not want his daughters despoiled by Aegyptus’ sons, lamented his decision and instructed them to kill their husbands after marrying them: “Bring down the curse of death, that dieth not…” [5] He provided each with a dagger to accomplish the task, to which they agreed if there was no other way: “Artemis, maiden most pure, look on us with… pity – Save us from forced embraces: such love hath no crown but… pain... Great Zeus, this wedlock turn from me… hold from my body the wedlock detested, the bridegroom abhorred!” [6] Accordingly, as their husbands slept on their wedding night, each of Danaos’ daughters having resolved – “Come what come may, ‘tis Fate’s decree…” [7] – when their prayers went unanswered, with the exception of Hypermnestra (who spared her husband Lynceus because “he had respected her virginity” [8] ) killed them according to plan. They then disposed of their husbands’ heads in a Lernaean marsh and buried their bodies in separate graves. To express the “emotional anguish” of the eternal punishment allotted to 49 of the Danaids, Rodin depicted one of the Danaids lying “huddled on the ground” filled with “physical contortions.” [9] She heaved from an outburst of violent weeping as she protested her fate and prayed for mercy upon learning of her punishment: “The exile that leaveth me pure… the doom is hard!” [10] _____ [1] Exhibit Display Tag.
