The Coming of the Holy Ghost
Oil and Tempera Painting, The Mische Technique

Not for sale
This painting shows the force of the coming of the Holy Spirit, “Like a great
wind”. The Apostles are seated together, having a meal - about to break bread
together, when with a rush the Holy Ghost comes among them from above, and a
living flame appears above their heads as they receive the reviving spirit and a
new energy is created in them. Because of this event, they are able to go out
and preach the 'good news' of Christ’s sacrifice and redemption, and in this
way, the Christian religion comes into being.
