On this day, there were several canvas paintings displayed on easels. These were created by amateurs who were asked to paint their favorite gospel. These ranged from serene landscapes to abstract paintings with vivid colors. It was so inspiring to see how each painter interpreted the gospel and translated it into a work of art.
This was by far my favorite. A Tree of Life! The branches are lined with small candles and the tree itself is framed in a ring of candles lit for loved ones lost. Each piece of crystal fruit on the tree represents a different virtue.
After the Cathedral, Kristina took us to her favorite coffee shop. a cozy little house filled with character. We sat here for hours discussing the education systems of our cultures, the aqcuisition of second languages, and the amazing experiences we have had through this program. I still can not believe how blessed I am to be a part of something so incredible.
