Holy Week Walk Through, With an Artist’s Eye

  • McDougall United Church 8516 Athabasca Street Southeast Calgary, AB, T2H 1S1 Canada (map)

Using an eclectic group of artworks, inspired by scripture over the past 1,700 years, we will seek to provide an experiential event that is interesting to both doubters and the devout. 

Laid out in a Scriptural timeline of visual images, you will walk through the entire story of Holy Week. From Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem to Good Friday, you will see the diverse depictions of several different artist, on each of these stories so core to our faith traditions. 

Coupled this with brief background commentaries on the works, and accompanying verses, (as well as a few teasers designed to promote discussion amongst participants), we endeavored to give you every opportunity, to more deeply see, and share, this sacred story anew. 

We will be using reproductions of many famous artists, artists from Sanctified Art, as well as several images from our own Rev. Danah, who will be present and live painting his newest work about the season. As well as giving you the opportunity, (no obligation), to create your own. 

The walk through is free, and can be experienced in as few as 15 minutes, or longer depending on your interest and time constraints. We will have sweets, coffee, and hot chocolate, so bring friends, as again, and as always, we welcome seekers of all stripes.
